Alas David, I don't have a camera with Live View :)
I also don't expect to be buying another camera body for quite awhile so I am
investigating whether other options might be available to make setting up and
adjusting my copies faster and easier on my back. You're quite right that Live
View, especially shown on a 24" monitor, would be a perfect solution. :)
