	[Ron Aavang]  I have the Bronica ETRS with the 135W back, W is the
panoramic or Wide format, the film runs across the 6*4.5 format so the
camera stays in its normal position for a horizontal panoramic, you tip it
on its side for a vertical shot. Bronica also made a focusing screen with
lines for the panoramic format and normal 35mm format, they made a 135N back
too which is the normal 35mm format. I have the focusing screen too which
really helps framing with the 135 backs, I never got the 135N back, I just
use my Canon camera for that. I can't help with any info on the Hasselblad
line.
