There was a camera sold by Blacks photo in maybe the early 2000s. Its strangest feature was that the memory was not accessible. You had to return the camera to the store to have them download the photos and purge the card and then give it back to you. I remember a whole hacking community grew up inventing ways to hack into the camera and change settings, etc. If any of this sounds familiar, do you remember the name of the camera? If there is a better forum to take this to, please let me know. Thanks.

there have been various threads about this over the years, but nothing seemingly conclusive. I decided to go with the #312 zinc-air battery with a spacing washer. The last thread I found ended without saying what the correct "O" ring spacer would be. Anybody gone this route?

I'm 90% certain that it's the lower lens mount from something similar to an Bowens Illumitran slide duplicator. The lens would bayonet in on one side and the other side would mount in an opening on the lower part of the bellows. The groove is there to allow the lens to be rotated and then held in place by a set screw so you could make sure the aperture ring was centered in the front of the unit

<p>rummaging through my adapters drawer for something, I came across something I had picked up and forgotten about. It's an adapter ring with a weird combination. One side is a Nikon male bayonet and the other side is a 44mm threadmount screw. It's not 42mm, 39mm or T-mount. The only thing I have that it fits is the interior thread mount on a Miranda. I can't think of any lens that had a 44mm filter ring for reverse mount for macro. and why would you want to mount Nikon and Miranda bodies face to face. I can't come up with any combination of bodies and lenses where this would make any sense.<br> Suggestions?</p>
