Re: V-pan problems

Dear Pan group.

I'd like to add that Art-Panorama also makes a 6x17
interchangeeable back
for 4"x5" cameras. I bought one several years ago and
enjoyed it, even though
it was limited to lenses up to about 150mm before it
vignetted.  As my photo-
graphy grew and the need for longer lenses dictated I had
the 4x5 adaptor
plate converted to a 5"x7".  I now use it on a 5x7 Sinar
with a wider range
of focal lengths.

attach a Navy-Torpedo or a Burke & James Royal panoram 6x17

I've heard that the V-pans are not as refined as they ought
to be.
