Realist format close-ups

[P3D Don Radovich <donrad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Most 50s stereo cameras can focus down to 2 1/2 to 3 feet.  If I was 
trying to shoot close-up portraits, etc., would a Nimslo mount allow me 
to get this close without problems?  I've cropped Realist slides in 
Nimslo mounts and I've used Nimslo mounts for 5 foot medium shots taken 
with a Realist format camera.  But will the half-frame mount actually 
give you enough leeway to get as close as you can focus?  This is very 
important for me to find out.  I may not have enough time to experiment 
before I have to shoot a rather critical subject and I don't want to 
screw up the whole shoot.

Thanks,
Don
