<p>Bravo! Well said! I have certainly learned a thing or two.</p>

<p>And here is the device mounted. Admittedly it does look a little silly.</p><div></div>

<p>And now I see where the canon AUTO-UP and super-NOOKY got their inspiration from: the Leica ADVOO close up device for the IIIg. Also without wipers!</p><div></div>

<p>Great ad JDM.<br> - somebody must have leaked my design.... :(</p>

<p>Digital monochrom. Never really understood the meaning of it. Why go for a simulated image when you can get a real print? :/</p>

<p>That's a real macro device then. Surely there's a distance scale on the nooky (knowing the german sense for prezision!) ? Your summitar's dark blue coating looks in good nick! I had two. The one had a cracked element in it and you needed iron man to turn the focusing ring (totally glued up). But the few colour films I shot with it produced great results. They surely don't build them like that anymore.</p>

<p>Jim - Leaving it permanently on probably means that it does not affect shooting 'in normal mode'? Does the extension piece not affect working with the distance scale on the lens? </p>

<p>Now you make regret I gave my summitar away!<br> Lucky I kept the summar. Your still life concepts are stunning. Can't believe you manage those little eyepieces on the IIIc though. I suppose the 'Nuke' device magnifies and makes things easier to see. Stll for a blind bat like myself...</p>

<p>Jim: how accurate is the focusing with that device? The summitar is very sharp in the centre, so I suspect the results will be stunning if properly focused.</p>

<p>Like this one:</p><div></div>

<p>I personally think a leica mit brille is uebercool!</p><div></div>

<p>GOGGLES never understood why users hate and collectors undervalue them?</p><div></div>

<p>Amazing. Never seen anything like it; thanks for sharing. Even ze red box with golden lettering is a leica-like.</p>

<p>You got the cheap model JDM; the de luxe model has wipers!</p>

<p>Thanks Steve - I only knew about the blue and purple coatings on the pre 1970's lenses.</p>
