Anyone familiar with Digicopy?

I'm going to attempt to digitize some old slides and bought a used Digicopy 4.3 in the hope that it might help produce a reasonable result It was apparently designed for use with the Digilux 4.3 and since these are very scarce, I thought I'd try to use it with it's 'twin' the Fujifilm 4700Z.

 

The Digicopy came with an angle bracket and both are shown in the image below. I'm thinking the angle bracket is meant to work with the Digimacro 4.3 since I see nothing in the scant literature indicating in what situation it might complement the Digicopy.

 

...and now to the main question...... while the camera fits snugly with the angle bracket it does not fit properly with the digicopy. From a glance at the image below you can see why - the screw to connect to the camera is at a slightly different location.

 

Anyone able to shed any light for me?

 

Thanks

I have a Digicopy. It is designed to work with the Digilux Zoom. It makes pretty good slide copies, at least good enough to view on a monitor.

 

I would be interested in finding a good home for both, as I don't use them any more.
