When it comes to genealogy, scanners and cameras provide the ideal mobility needed for safekeeping data, and best of all, they allow people to have their own copy of data which are hard to find.Ruby Badcoehttp://www.williamsdatamanagement.com/?p=shreddingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362503919392294415.post-53021048078385127982012-06-24T10:28:50.399-06:002012-06-24T10:28:50.399-06:00Great article!

You asked about my favorite micro lens and mine is a 50mm micro. My DSLR is a full frame so that makes it a “normal lens”. The main reason I bought it rather than a 100mm is that I also use it when I am producing panoramic type images, thus I am getting a double use out of it.<br />Your 100mm should be just fine for reproducing photos and documents; it will just be a bit further away from the originals than the 50mm which sometimes makes it easier to change from one original to the next.<br />Always glad to answer questions, let us know how you do. ~ Mike BrownAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088409491178996382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362503919392294415.post-44085564814844124042012-05-24T14:12:06.981-06:002012-05-24T14:12:06.981-06:00Thanks, Karen!

I have the light setup, but I will be buying some film paper next month. I have a question for Mr.Brown. I've been using my 50mm f 1/8lens,I do have a 100mm macro lens I can use for this. Does Mr.Brown have a favorite Macro lens he likes to use in this case? Thank you Jen & Mr,Brown for a such a great article.

I haven't played much with the cameras on smart phones, so I'm not sure about their quality, but I can definitely see the benefit in not having to touch the original.

Oddly, I've been using the camera on my smartphone far more than a scanner, because I don't have to handle delicate archival material and/or photos nearly as much as with scanning. I'd noticed that some photos seemed to reproduce better with the phone than a scanner, and now I know why!
