7. I have a choice of lenses for the D70, all will auto focus

They are:
Nikkor 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5 G
Quantaray 19-35mm 1:35-4.5
Nikkor 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6 D
And the least suitable: 70-300mm 1:5-5.6 G (this one has gotten the most use. I bought it with my N70 from B&H - it was open box but unused.)

I finally found the ML-L3 remote for the D70. Searched every spot I had camera equipment stored, then remembered its case attached to the camera strap. I'm not sure about the battery for it - I'm charging the camera battery now and can't test the remote until it is ready to go.

The copy stand in the link I provided above had a glass plate to flatten documents and photos. Mine doesn't have a place to mount one so I suspect it was added after purchase. I've called a glass place to price a clear piece of glass since many of the documents will need to be flattened - they are creased or curled. The glass they recommended is called Starphire (http://www.ppg.com/corporate/ideascapes/glass/products/ultra/Pages/StarphireInteriorGlazing.aspx). I asked them to price it will ground edges so there will be no sharp areas!

Also I found instructions on making a book cradle for the bound items. One of the first things I will be scanning will be my grandmother's journal of her first year in Florida when she arrived in 1925. The state archives wants it because it gives a nice idea of life in a mining company town - a town that no longer exists. That book does not open fully which is why I have not scanned it on my flatbed.
