dear robert- ed meyers
would be the one who would have information on this. you are building your
own xpan and will be happy, creative all at the same time. you should also
look in the photography equipment flea markets (second sunday is name of
one held in firehouse, wayne, nj, well, every second sunday) and you don't
need it in  working order, only the transport part. simon nathan

Re-reading Meehan's Panoramic Photography book, I rediscovered his points
on using a Nimslo 3-D camera as the basis for a simple panoramic camera on
35mm by using a larger format lens in shutter for the optics. Since these
3=D sell for $40-60 even on EBAY in working order, it seemed like another
interesting way to get a circa 72mm panoramic film image on 35mm.
Certainly a lot easier than hacking together two Nikon pro bodies anyway.
Sure it is plasticky, but the size and cost makes it attractive to me ;-)

Has anybody worked on a Nimslo panoramic, with examples? Andrew D. has some
notes on having a nimslo panoramic camera at:
