I also have the portable copy stand, with an adapter for 55mm.
As far as I recall from my 1/2 frame Pen days, the original stand was made
for Pen cameras such as the Pen D and Pen F, with a smaller diameter filter
ring (43mm? 46.5mm?).
Mine has never been used, and is in its original box with instructions.

there is another rare item... the portable copy stand... basically a
49mm(with adapters for smaller diameter) ring with 4 extendable legs...
all oly original... I've got one and don't intend to sell it... does
anybody know a little bit more about it... (when, why, and so on... was it
produced)... is it designed for a specific lens (may be the 50 3,5 ?)...
Any information welcome...

Subject: [OM] Unique item for all real Zuiks
My spring cleaning has uncovered one gem that I was until
recently hesitant about letting go. However if any one is interested this
might be a very good deal. This is the high quality Olympus OM Copy
Stand. If any of you have seen one of these you will know why it is so
special. It's by far and away the neatest copy stand ever made. The
stand uses a very unique copper ribbon slide to move the camera up and
down very precisely. If you have not seen one of these it might be hard
to describe. But let's just say if you know this stand you will
understand why the list price in 1992 was about $625.
I also have the two goose neck lamps that go with this. Again these lamps
are very cool. They can either be mounted on their very heavy bases or
directly to the stand.
If any one is interested I will offer this at a very reasonable price.
This is truly a must have for any zukiohaulic.
Contact me off list for details.
