The bowls that I am currently using for the Heritage line are fraised by Luca Di Piazza of Luciano pipes/Neatpipes.com. I send Luca a prototype and he fraises the bowls based on my prototype. I am also using a...
It's hit or miss on vendors accepting credit but more and more are. As mentioned, it's best to bring a bit of cash for those that don't. I don't like to carry a lot of cash on me. For the record, I accept Paypal and credit cards at the show. :D

Under $200 (heck, under $100) for me it would have to be:

I have the same light box kit as you have. I'll have to check out the software. I'd love to be able to hook up directly to my laptop. Another option for amazing definition is to use a micro lens and stack focusing.
