I had one of these copy stands and it, indeed, was for use with the Pen
series of 1/2 frame and I did use it to try it out. I found it to be
just a step better than the distance and stability provided by the chain
on my Minox B. I have since given it a new home to someone who would
appreciate it. To me, it was WAY too flimsy.

P.S. But I still love my VSTE Stand !
