Here it is on the Nikkormat FT-2, which is wearing the body-half of it's leather ever ready case.
That case half provides very good grip.
What's interesting here is that the slide copy unit is set up to handle 35mm roll film as well.
I may be able to play around somehow with B&W negs with the D-810...
Shown with my high mileage 55mm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor aboard, which was one of the design intentions.
This unit is fairly devoid of markings.
It pre-dates Nikon's penchant for letter/number model designations.
Serial # location under the rails.
Nikon was not first out of the gate with these.
I think Asahi came out with them first.
Branding on the other-wise unmarked slide copy unit roll film pan.
The bellows and slide unit are incredibly well made.
It is all s/s, aluminum, brass, and leather.
I can't find any plastic on it anywhere except for the diffuser on the slide copier.
That may not even be plastic either- there's a possibility it's bead blasted glass.
One of the first images taken with it.
Vignetting is due to over extending the bellows beyond the camera's image circle.
Backing off 2 or 3 mm on the bellows clears that right up.
Where this system beats extension tubes is that there is a bit of focus distance range with it.
I have a lot of reading to do on this.
