Re: NARA Seattle

Hi Andreas,

I've got a Sony Alfa 100 with a 18-70 mm lens and a light weight Manfrotto 785B tripod which is short enough to fit in my hand laugage when flying - very pactical when on a short but important mission to an archive... :-) The remote control is the short (1m) standard version sold by Sony. The photos I take are of 3872*2952 pixels and the size ca 2mb in .jpg format. This has proven to be enough even for low quality documents. Since I have a PC with me and spare memory cards space is obviously not an issue.

Regarding scanning, Like you I've also got a guide and then an empty microfilm role so that I can role from one to the other withouth having to open the lid when moving up the film for the next sequence to scan.
All the best
/Mike
