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.
