Thanks all for the sage advice!
I looked up the Nikon Coolpix 950 manual. When I got it
I didn't need the advanced features, so I forgot it
actually has a macro ability. In the interest of time
and money budgets, I'll be exploring that to copy the
old pictures, at least at first. Since the photographs
are not in excellent condition to start with, this
approach may be adequate.
The lighting tips were particularly helpful, and the
note about needing a lens adapter should I ever get a
Canon SLR for the AT-1 lenses. This kind of removes
any Canon constraint when I do choose a digital SLR
vendor.
Thanks, John
