Aahhh, sort of the "poor man's Techo-Nimslo"?  I shot a roll through a 
genuine Techo-Nimslo last year and (caution: strong opinion follows, 
sure to stir up some controversy) I felt that the film chips were 
somehow more tedious to mount than 5P chips.  I turned down the 
opportunity to purchase it, but am now regretting that decision as 
I've decided (with the famous 20/20 hindsight) that its format would 
be good for prints.

I've been casually looking for the right deal on a Nishika for just 
the sort of experimenting as M Georgoff suggests.  So far none have 
fallen in my (absurdly low) budget range.
