wide angle panorama back Bronica ETRSi

[Jaap Los <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

Hi all
This message is in particular for Don Roberts, but could also contain
valuable info for others. The subject is my question about the 35 mm
panorama filmback for Bronica ETRSi 645 camera. This back delivers
pictures on 135 film of the size 24x54 mm. I intend to purchase this
filmback. 

>From Bandhphoto I got the information, that loading the back is a bit
difficult and also bringing in the filmholder is not that easy. It also
says, that the panorama back does the job properly. Moreover it is very
fashionlike to make panorama photo's at weddings.

Don Roberts has this filmback and will use it for the first time on HIE.
Off course I'm very eager to hear his experiences, such as the influence
of the film backplate on HIE (dimbles, lines etc.). I understand loading
in the dark is difficult. May be he could give any hints in this
respect. But not only Don, also others on the list might have
experiences with this type of filmback. If so, please let me (us) know.

Another thing of interest is the quality of the lenses. In general the
resolving power of medium format lenses is lower than that of 35 mm
lenses. Using 35 mm on a medium format Bronica camera is therefore not
an ideal situation. May I have your opinion about this. Might be an
interesting item for discussion?
