Finally got one of these.
Bucket list is getting a bit shorter these days Wink



From a local buy and sell site. Seller called the box "slightly distressed- new old stock". No caps, but not a real problem for me. The good news is the ratio tables are still in the box. Literature is factory dated 1979, so it may pre-date, or nearly so the 200 micro, which is not listed. The 105 micro version is absent as well.



Very good condition, but far from new.



Shown here on my chrome F2 wearing the P micro.



Quick 1:1 sample taken in the moderate breeze. D-810 and f8 set on the lens.
Hand held, and there is no stabilization on this camera.
Looking forward to getting a few more at this scale, with reduced winds.

Agreed, what a nice find! Especially the cardboard box registers definitely in the "some hot shit" category Wink

It is just the repro tables. I can give it a try if anyone likes. The high gloss paper is badly creased from being micro folded for the last 45 years.

That not quite it there, but close.

I'll give a try later today with some bounce flash.
The print is very tiny- I have to use a magnifying glass just to read it, even with my +2.75 readers on.

Slightly more modern version here, mostly concerned with A/F lenses. There's a few m/f lenses listed, but not all of the ones shown on the 1979 version. The 200 micro is shown Mr. Green

I'm not risking that- not with data that important, and my poor track record with heat based appliances and various forms of paper.
I will look around here for some framing glass, and sandwich it together.

No problem.

A little underexposed, but not bad. SB-600 at full power manual and f5.6 on the P-micro by it's self.

Things like this are a lot easier now with things like the fully reversing head on the flash, and the front/rear shutter curtain selection.
Contrary to popular belief, that sync at 1/320 sec actually works as long as the camera is properly set. When in doubt, refer to the manual.
