Re: Custom Pan Camera

This is exactly (well almost) what I'm wanting to do. I have a Noblex 135U
(yes I'm very happy) but require a 35mm 1:2.5+ ratio camera, interchangeable
lenses etc. My only reply some weeks ago (yes only 1 reply) was to modify a
Nimslo (yuk !). My main purpose with this camera would be to shoot aerial
photographs and therefore a rangefinder type camera would be limiting by the
fact of not being able to determine polarising of scenes - I suppose I could
live without this if absolutely necessary.

I was reading a copy of International Photography (a NZ magazine) a couple
of days ago and came across a story by Bob Maysmor, who modified a Canon
AT-1 with a Nova Anastigmat lens (f6.3 - 22) built in shutter to 1/200th. He
made the comment that 'it is by no means ultra-wide)'. It gave a 24mm x 63mm
image.

Unfortunately Bob gave no details on the actual making of the camera.

Anyhow Tan, I would like to discuss our findings further. I am trying to
track do Bob and will advise ASAP.

As for buying (say an Xpan for instance, Simon) this would be great, but I
am a full time photographer and therefore do not have the money tree in the
backyard of my 50 square home beside the pool/beach/lake etc).
