I have been following along on this topic - quite a read by now :-)
I'm looking to work towards a scanner setup as well, hopefully including a nice XY table.
My current set-up is a Canon FD bellows with duplicator, Canon FD 50mm macro lens and Sony A7 attached.
Playing around with ColorPerfect, which so far seems a very good piece of software indeed.
So many messages on the light sources that I am not quite sure what direction to go.
Lots of posts aim at high CRI, but since I'm primarily focussing on B&W, that probably is not my biggest concern.
Currently I'm using my tablet, and that makes me think in the direction of a lightbox (e.g.,

Seems a good option for even illumination, but I'm unsure if the light output will be sufficient? (My tablet certainly is not, slow shutter speeds > 1 sec required to get the shot at f8).
Can anyone share experience in lightbox vs tablet light output?
If a lightbox turns out to be insufficient, I'm in doubt about halogen vs LED.
Any recommendation for B&W setup at reasonable price?
Thanks!
