so having modified a Combo Actus XL-35 with a stackshot motor applied to the rear standard focus knob has made this stacking procedure much easier.

Great to see your setup after our discussion on Michael's Noct95 thread

It's very nice to see the 120AM, a favourite of mine in the view camera age, continues to do service with a modern DSLR. The result looks excellent as well.

so the 120AM is one of my favorites and allows a lot of movement with the Actus.

It ought to as Nikon made it to cover 4x5" film in the designated range 1:5 to 5:1 magnification.

The 120 does deliver good results at infinity focus as well, but towards infinity the image circle barely covers the 6x9 cm format.
