Kodak used to publish a book on copying with many recommendations wrt
filtering when copying.  I'll look for one in my bookcase.

Thanks George.  I had borrowed a macro tube and an 80 and 135 from the
learned Mr. Gries.  I've been taking very bad close-ups of
all-things-inappropriate ;-).   I'll try them on the copy work.   BTW, since
I'm doing B&W, is there any advantage to using yellow/orange/red filtration?

Thanks.
