Hmmmm. I just asked about this in the Canon 10D list, so it's serendipitous
that you'd suggest this here.
So this is all stuff that Canon makes? Could this work with the regular 50mm
f1.8 lens? It focuses down to 450mm, while the macro lens focuses to 230mm.
As to illumination, I was thinking of yanking the lens out of my projector,
and pointing the camera into the hole, stopping way down for the DOF. It
might require a ND filter if the light's too bright. That would make it
really easy to step through a bunch of slides.
