Best SFIC Core with Operating Key

SFIC core with operating key. Operating keys (which can be mastered) rotate the lock plug. Note the two holes at the back of the plug, which mate with the fingers in the housing, and the retaining tab (running halfway along the length of the core), which locks the core into the housing (and which remains in the locked state when an operating key is used). Image taken with a Nikon D-100 digital camera with a Nikkor 85mm 1:2.8D tilt/shift macro lens (with Kenko extension tube). Lit by electronic flash and various reflectors.
