P3D Nimslo distance lens

[SHIELDS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi!

Sorry about the wrong subject line earlier in the day--using my
alternate ISP can be frustrating--back on line with "old faithful" now.

Getting back my second Nimslo test roll (on K64) only confirmed my
suspicion that Nimslo's claim to a DOF of 6 ft. to infinity was
misleading--no way if the prime focus is 9 ft (and of course it's
fixed at that distance). And I don't shoot often enough in bright
sunlight with 400-speed film to get the camera stopped down very
much. (Actually I plan to use Kodachrome 200.)

So I would really like to locate one of those elusive distance
lenses, which were mentioned in the archives in connection with
Stereo-type and Nancy Sobottka.

I know they're weird critters, but I used to have one for my Minolta-16II,
which had prime (and fixed) focus at 10 ft.

Thanks for any leads to Stereo-type, Nancy, or the lens!
