- From the looks of things, Nikon prefers that you use their Focusing
- Stage PG-2, with their PS-6 Slide Copying Adaptor. The adaptor runs
- along the rail of the PG-2.
-
- These items are not cheap! From the looks of things $275 for both
- of them via mail order.
-
- I take it the Cambron slide duplicator mounts directly to the camera
- and has its own optics. Adorama (related, I believe) has a device that
- screws into the filter threads of a camcorder for video duping. If you
- can get one in your filter diameter, it might be worth trying to remove
- any optics from it and using that as a slide holder. (Just a thought.)
-
- Please post a summary if you find anything.
