Re: Cardboard mounts for 35mm x-pan, noblex etc?

[Ted Baker <ted@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug,  I bought cardboard XPan mounts that I've been very happy with from
The Stock Solution at:

http://www.tssphoto.com/sp/35mhn.html

I suggest also buying their small roller:

which makes it easier to seal the mounts solidly.  Prices are quite
reasonable, especially in quantity.  They will also send you a free sample
if you'd like to check them out before you order.

Gepe's #2702 is a high end plastic mount with glass for panoramic XPan
images which you can find at:

http://www.gepe.com/english/sm_spec.htm

I can't remember whether I bought them online or thru a dealer but as I
recall they were about $23 for a box of 10 mounts -- excellent mounts but a
bit too steep to use routinely.

These 2 are the only XPan panoramic format 3.5" square mounts that I've
been able to find.  If anyone has other sources, I'd appreciate a post to
the list.

Regards, Ted
