Bill, I suggest mount a Zuiko 50/3.5 macro on an E-1, have only side light on
the print, and no light on you or the camera, and shoot away. You might like
to adjust the EV +/- With textured paper you will probably want to have side
light from each side. See the photos at

which are mostly from prints processed this way
