I'll second that! The pebbles will be gone with crossed polarizers.
There's nothing like crossed polarizers for copy work. I have a two
Speedotron Brownline heads covered with polarizing film semi-
permanently attached to my copy stand.
BTW: with some help from John Hermanson, I'm in the process of making
T-8 and T-10 ring flashes work with the FC-1 macro flash controller.
It's a simple cable transplant, although it's a bit of a puzzle
figuring out which wire is which... I've identified the modeling
light leads, but all the other ones seem to have high voltage and low
impedance to each other... if anyone knows which are the tube and
which is the trigger wire, let me know!
