Pentax copy stand.

Hi,

I'm trying to resist buying this copy stand but is the first time I've ever seen one like this, it's normally the Copy Pod. The price is about 40UKP. What worries me is the empty green cavity on the left, but that may be for the camera.

Anyone know what missing.

Greg

Womble (Chris) has the same stand. See thread link

The focusing rack is worth £40 alone.

The P stands for portable.

The missing item is probably a camera? The only other thing could
be a table clamp, but the cutout looks more like a camera.

Well worth buying.

Pentax K-5 and some other stuff

Thanks and for the link. I'll go for it.

Yes, the hole is Spotmatic sized... The only problem with this copy stand is that the plate you attach the camera to has two lugs which keep a Spotmatic sized camera level with the base board. Unfortunately, it makes it very difficult to fit a modern dSLR to it.

Nice set-up though. I'm pleased with mine.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

What two lugs they disappeared within seconds of it's arrival.

I love the quality of old Pentax equipment, no plastic in sight.

I thought about that but couldn't bring myself to grind them off...

It is a lovely piece of equipment though. I need to have a new handle made up for mine, the leather has rotted and snapped.
