Great series of photographs from 1976. Let me guess, you are the chap with the rocker look.

Right! Yes and yes; it would be fun and I am the fuzzy one.
Technical question:
I'm seeing something I never noticed before. In the Harvard Square and Mt. Isolation pictures the left side of the image is quite a bit fuzzier than the right side. Why would that be?...
Edit: I figured this out. The slides are fine. The camera wasn't shooting perfectly square to the slides though it seemed to be. The slide holder seemed to be centered in its mount but the mount itself was offset to one side. The way it is attached to the rest of the system doesn't constrain its lateral position. The camera however is fixed exactly at the center So when the camera seemed to point straight at the center of the slide it wasn't actually perpendicular to it.

Both pics are framed in the center so it isn't a matter of distance. My original full-scale scans of the slides look like that. I suppose one cause is that the slide holder isn't square to the camera. But I don't think that's a problem. In any case, the focus indicator in the lens is saying the center is focused.
Another possibility is that the slides are like that because the Nikkormat's mount is bent or misaligned w.r.t. the body, or the film backing plate isn't holding the film perpendicular to the lens axis.
