Hi Kamel, I had a brief try with the Goko RM5000 idea but didn't get very far. I tried it with the existing bulb, which is pretty low output for this project (been unable to find a more powerful LED replacement). I placed some white paper over the mirror but I couldn't even get a recognisable picture at all. It would probably have been better in total darkness maybe but I kind of felt it wasn't worth pursuing without a much brighter light source. I have now decided to use the 'down the lens' method that was featured on here a while back:

I did a little 'test of the concept' using my Eumig with it's existing lens (but not turning the selector knob fully forward, so that the lamp is not illuminated - there's enough light in this position to test it) just to see for myself and was amazed at how well it worked (apart from the vignetting and hotspot). I am now sorting out a 16mm lens to use so that I can copy the full frame almost 'off the gate'.
