I recently purchased the Kodak MDS 290 setup, which attaches to my Wild M5. 
So far, I am quite pleased with the results.  Technical support has been 
excellent. The software allows the images to be directly  loaded into Adobe 
Photoshop. See:http://www.kodak.com/US/en/health/scientific/products/mds290/
