P3D Nimslo closeups and making a Teco-Nimslo

[Stereo Shooter <stereoshooter@xxxxxxxxx>]

I take closeups with my Nimslo using 99 cent eyeglasses.  Two plus 3
eye glass lenses taped together fit nicely over two of the Nimslo's
give me a 6 inch or so focus point.  I screwed a retractable antenna to
the bottom of the Nimslo and marked places that match whatever lense
combination I'm using.  When I shoot, I extend the antenna and swing it
out of range of the viewfinder.  That way I can shoot butterfies
without even looking through the viewfinder.

Also,  I've cut the teeth off the gear of my Nimslo and so far it seems
to be a fine home made teco-Nimslo.  It is very easy to remove the
bottom plate to get to the gear.  After removing a few screws, it can
be taken out.  Make sure you watch the location of the teeth before you
remove it.  I used a marker so i could figure out the correct teeth to
remove.  I figured, you would want the teeth that are engaged with the
other gear when the camera is cocked to be left intact.
