Thanks for that Tom, I have a lot of tethered work ahead of me when I have finished cataloging and analysing my fuel bills going back to 1983... And some other stuff...

I have been using Sofortbild which is very good and has been perfectly stable for me. However it doesn't work with the D3100, which I may wind up using because it seems very good for some stuff. If the light is good the images are pretty good and I fancy trying it for copying my photo collection.

I also want a couple (or four?) LED Light panels. Have seen some 20 Watt LEDs for about £30 which give 1600 Lumens of light at 6400K.

I have been using 80 Watt Halogen lamps but they get very hot after a few hours, not to mention the power they use. LEDs run very cool.

Flash would be OK, but it takes so much setting up and reflections are a problem when copying prints, especially if they are glossy.
