For years I have shot 4x10 with a 8x10 using a 8x10 darkslide I cut in 1/2. I make a exposer with it on the bottom put the full darkslide back reverse the back shoot again
the 1/2 again on the bottom put the full slide back I have 2 4x10 per holder.

I'm a Mamiya Press user and lucky enough to ownn the 50 and 75 lenses. I 
had been thinking about how I could use the large circle of the 75, which 
was designed to cover a full Polaroid frame plus more, by hacking a Press 
body. It then occurred to me that simply by cutting a darkslide as a mask 
for a 6x9 back, I could expose two 24 x 85 strips on a 6x9 frame, upper and 
lower and then hand cut them for scanning. As the camera has no interlocks, 
double exposure is usually a problem rather than an opportunity. 
Has anyone tried this? It seems a cheap way to me to achieve 35mm panoramas 
with a better result than most dedicated 35mm panoramic cameras which seem 
to have frame widths in the high 50's.

PS - I'm in Melbourne - anyone know where I can get 120 or 35mm pans 
scanned at a reasonable price locally or, at least, in Oz?
