Nimslo Surgery

[P3D Grant Campos <gc6094@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just though some people might be interested to know about my
latest Nimslo Surgery.  I drilled a 3/8" hole in the left side
(as you look at the camera) of the bottom plate, near the front,
so that I can stick a straight wire in there to cock the shutter
without having to advance the film.

First, I misunderstood the instructions (I still highly reccomend 
the Reel-3D Nimslo book) and drilled a few holes in the lens 
surround.  Well, now I can move a lever inside which pops the shutter
open and it stays open till I push the shutter release button.

Now I can check the effects of my various close-up lenses I have rigged
up to be used in fron to the camera.  (I made plates that hold Zeiss
Proxars on a bracket that blocks out the other lenses).  I shot
my first roll of Lenticulars with the Nimslo about two weeks ago, and
tried an extreme close-up with it (9 inches from the camera).  I'll let
you know how they turn out when they come back from Nimstec.

(I have a Japanese Nimlso in case that makes a difference)
