Revision as of 21:34, 22 January 2014

Code names - BEOON - 16511
Production era - 1959-1970 (Laney says 1970 was BEOONs last catalog reference, but produced later)
Type - Small copying stand for scales of reproduction of 1 : 1, 1 : 1.5, 1 : 2, 1 : 3. Can be used with many cameras w/ the equivalent of a 35 or 50 mm lens. The stand consists of an open base with a helicoid threaded column, platform with circular hole for securing the camera lens or the included extension tubes A, B, C & D plus a 5 X loupe (shown at left). The loupe is used to check focus when using a rangefinder camera. The open base (w/ three included masks) allows use on a light table for transparencies.
Variants - Gray hammertone or green (shown)
