Title: Re: New Guy

it all depends on what you want to shoot. for example swing cameras like noblex do great on scenery including buildings at some distance.  at closer distances buildings in a straight line have to be rearranged in a semi-circle to come out as you see them. I found that
too time consuming fifty years ago. so i sold the best  ever of this type the Panox to cinerama. it had speeds slow enough a model could move in sync w/lens : look sharp entering bank then blur to the teller window.  I now modify brooks xl veriwides w/apo-grandagons, 35,45,55mm on 6x12. optional shift
subdues the foreground  when you're stuck there.  the 45mm on 6x12 is most versatile:  vertical coverage of
a 21mm on 35 format w/ 1/3 more on the horizontal  the 35 apo on 612
has been figured out to be the   equivalent of an 11.5 shift lens on 35 format where 24 is the widest , ican supply the  45 in factory focusing mt for $1050 ,about 500 less than b&h if you're handy at putting stuff together. if you can  can get by with
35mm  format the Fujiblad ressurects  paramounts 3to1 vistavision  motion picture high fidelity of fifty years ago knocked out by 70mm,  120  equivalent.

Hi folks,
I have just joined your list and new to this chat business. I don,t have a panorama camera, I am still trying to find out what will suit my needs so here are a few questions.
I have been a press photographer for twenty years nearly all with 35m,
 
1. I have a pentax 6x7 with 55mm,90mm leaf shutter, and200mm. can any of these bits be used for the construction of a homebrew panoramic?
 
2. Can anyone tell me about using rotating lens cameras for aerials or is the general design not suited to shooting from a moving platform.
 
3.And of course since I DON,T have a panorama camera yet can does anyone have one up for sale.
 
Cheers Trevor.
