Re: Camera recommendations

[Robert Erickson <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When choosing between the 3 35mm swinglens format cameras don't overlook the
35/35 Roundshot. If you are willing to spend over $1000 bucks to get 120 to
150 degrees of view then why not spend just a little more ($1750) to get the
full circle 360 degrees +. The 35/35 is the hands down winner in the bang
for the bucks contest.

Even if you are one of those who say, " I never shoot full circle or ever
intend to", with the Roundshot you will never be in a situation where the
camera will not cover. Oh, for those times where..."What if I just would of
had 160 degrees".
