Re: Use 35mm in a 220 camera to make paranomia pictures

[petermarshall@xxxxxxxxx (Peter Marshall)]

Shouldn't that be paranormal or paranoia pictures?

There is a 135 panoramic adapter kit for the Mamiya 7 which has 2 spools 
and a panoramic mask together with a rewind crank unit. 

I don't own one and have only seen the diagram in the manual, but it looks 
as if this takes standard cassettes. It gives 16 exp on a 36 exp film, 
24x65mm. Together with the 43mm f4.5 this would make a nice way to take 
panoramas if you wanted an emulsion that wasn't available in 120; 
otherwise it seems to me you might as well take advantage of the built in 
rising/falling front provided by cropping from 6x7. 

You would really also need an accessory spirit level which would make this 
 camera difficult to use except on a tripod for most purposes.
