Title: Re: Swing Lens cameras from 1974

superior to the panon was its successor: the panox, unfortunanately only available for a short time: the superiority being in slower speed plus auto film
counter w/o red window. with slowest speed; possible for model to move at same speed as the lens. sold mine to cinerama. made even better by attaching the optical finder from the panofic--easily the best 140degree rectilinear finder ever, easy to attach vertical level to one side for direct view.ralph

On Nixon's last day in office, several swing-lens panoramic shots were taken at the final press conference and outside the White House showing the helicopter waiting for the president and his family.
