Documents reproduction

Hi, my matter is this. One friend of mine gave me some old postcards
of 40's almost of them are about 2nd World War and some other of
Auschwitz.... So this a very precious material. The intent is to
duplicate them, of course using b/w film. I thought to try with Tech
Pan and Zeiss 60 macro lens, using artificial light. Any suggestion on
this argument? For me this is the first time.

Many thanks

Sounds OK to me. You should probably do some tests to find
the best contrast. Technidol is best for low contrast but
higher contrast may work better on some of the material. The
Tech pan data booklets have some suggestions. Tech Pan was
originally made for applications like document copying.
