For lack of motivation to do anything truly constructive (like cleaning house or doing Christmas shopping for someone other than myself), I resurrected my Focaslide and tried it out with the head of a 50mm NF Summicron. While I did get a few blank frames as the result of neglecting to move the camera body into the taking position, the test negatives did show that the device does indeed still hold potential for copy and close up work. Is anyone else still using one? Written by: Roy C.
