I was recently sent some information from one of our more quiet readers who is hoping to cultivate some discussion in relation to the project (links below) and "these outcomes".
I'm also interested in such an adaptation, but intend to use a Newport translation stage....the Manfrotto 454 scares me (I once owned one and we didn't get along )
Here are some links that will hopefully launch a discussion. All comments and suggestions welcome.
