Re: Custom modifications - who does this? bold typing

["simonwide:\"First simonwide:Last\"" <simonwide@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

perhaps it is simon who uses larger and bolder type so that
he can read it on 17" screen of his presario. he also can't catch the spelling
errors and he has new glasses. spell check on this machine hardly catches
theses single finger-left- hand typos. you'd be surprised how many typos
he does catch. furthermore he usually had a darn good editor backing him
up . these included the late, great milt salamon, dan blue at fawcett books,
and ed meyers at modern and pop photo. bill clark started me writing at
us camera. i quit pop photo to help him at camera thirty five some fourteen
years later.. if i can't read it myself how can know what i am saying.

Thanks for the info.

Do you realise that your text tends to be extra large? Is there some reason for this?

there are so many ready-nade panoramic camera why would you want to build less than already exists. state your needs and i'll try to match up the camera. meanwhile the hasseblad xpan should do you until you realize it's for welltodo backpackers and learn firsthand what you really need. look in back of that leading nontechnical  photo journal,shutterbug, for advt of buddy graves. he was the genius at prof camera nyc who did many of the things that couldn't be done that i wanted. simon nathan

Hi

Merry Christmas everyone!

I am just curious to find out, could anyone tell me which company takes
ready made cameras and custom modifies them to be panoramic cameras? That
or which company makes custom mods, period?

I came across an old Al Satterwhite book that I have and saw a nice Nikon
F2 custom job that Satterwhite owns. It is a 35mm job with a 1:3 side to
length film ratio, has two interchangeable largeformat lenses mounted on
cones (like the Linhof Technorama lenses) and has a nice optical finder.
The prism and shutter assembly has been removed. On the whole, it looks
like such a fantastically handy camera.

Anyone?

Thanks
Tan
