Andy, Thanks much - I cut the shutter speed with excellent results! The images are sharp enough. If anyone wants to make B/W slides from their VDT Just Invert (make it negative) the image and fire away with ordinary B/W film. Turn off the lights and don't wear any clothes that reflect back into the monitor. I didn't try color negative film but it should work. AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 4th ed.
