Although it wouldn't necessarily be my first choice for flat copy work, don't 
overlook using a shift lens for "creative" macro (vs "copy" macro) via 
extension tubes. You can pan over your lilliputian scene like a Ken Burns 
documentary. It's MUCH easier to compose macro via shift than by re-adjusting 
the tripod head.
