Marc:
Your wish is my command!
For you photo guys out there. I'm using a Canon 40D. Shooting RAW, ISO 100, 6.3 1/4. Lens is my 50mm 1.8 (cheap but good!). No light box, just rigged up a light above the item with the camera hanging upside down on a tripod. Used a Canon manual shutter.
Oh, I used Canon's Digital Photo Professional for my post processing.
