Okay so no budget? Needs 10x? Which if I understand would limit it to a max
real life size of 2.5 mm if she stuck to 35mm? Plus she wants full automatic?
I assume she wants it to bake bread to?-))
I think it might be possible to do this on the cheap. But not on automatic.
Not 35mm. Even on the cheap you've got lights etc.
Smart thing send it out to be done. Second thing maybe find a school that is
teaching photography and would be willing to do the work in return for
borrowing the subjects.
How big are these things?
