<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>The Mid-Atlantic Megalopolis TCN ran into this problem while ordering equipment, resulting in a few participants who could not get the box from MK Digital. We couldn't find anything comparable, and didn't like the Ortery box. So, we are now working with a local fabricator (Philadelphia area) to design a custom box for herbaria-specific imaging. We are not in the prototype phase yet but hope to have a product within the next few months. I can't say for sure if it will work for other collection types. But, if anyone else is anticipating this as a problem, we may have a workable solution that your can order from this fabricator. </div><div><br></div><div>There was another equipment problem we ran into - both Canon and Sigma 50mm macros have been discontinued. We are designing the new box to work with other macro lenses in case another 50mm does not come back on the market.</div><div><br></div><div>Email me if you'd like to know more.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 11:13 AM, Ann M Molineux <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:annm@austin.utexas.edu" target="_blank">annm@austin.utexas.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
