Lucky you. Would have cost me about $600 in Europe...
My Sunday hack: Holga 120 Pan with Wollensak Extreme Wide Angle 90mm f/12.5 lens.
The lens is tiny and comes with a Alphax press shutter. Let's hope it covers the 6x12 frame size in decent quality. But I'm sure it will be better than the stock plastic lens.
This is just a proof of concept, using cardboard tube and lots of painters tape. And fixed at infinity focus. The proper mounting hardware and focusing helicoid will come eventually.
Look forward to having some fun with this Frankstein 6x12 panoramic camera.

Really looking forward to see what you come up with re: focusing system. I want to do something similar, but I might even hack apart one of my spare Lomo Belairs to steal the front standard off it and mount it on my Holga body if the infinity focus will work. Then I can have auto-exposure at multiple speeds on the bigger image frame of the Holga.
