I like this a lot! Sol y Sombra (sun and shade), clouds, sky, earth, composition.

Wow. Another winner!

Those clouds are over the top, too. They give it so much depth. Just a spectacular shot.

Thank you! It's a small lake i've photographed many times over the years and I finally made an image I'm happy with. Noblex for the win ;-)

Thanks. Spent over an hour there just waiting on and watching the clouds and enjoying the day.

Lonelyboy,
Very nice, thanks.

Everyone here is making me want a panorama camera... I don't need another camera. I'm just envious of the great scenes.

Hey someone has to get the economy going again! Get out there and stimulate the economy.

Do it!

Got an RB67? Load 35mm with adapters and put a 65 mm or 50 mm on it, and get almost the same aspect ratio as an XPAN with equipment you already own. And only three times the weight!

How many shots per film?

How many shots per film?

If you use a 220 back and fix the counter roller so the film can drive the counter (dead easy), all you lose is roughly a foot for loading, around 4-5 70mm frames -- and if you make up a leader from fixed-out film, cine leader material, or 120 backing paper, you can eliminate most of that. When I've done it, I get normal spacing (same as if I were using 120), so with leader and careful loading it ought to be up to 20 on a roll marked for 36 (220 film is about the same length as 135-36). There are also files available to 3D print a frame mask to control the film edge and keep it flat, though I haven't found a big problem with crosswise curl the couple times I've done it (I've got the mask printed, but haven't installed it yet).

Probably not much of a street camera (too heavy), but it works fine for tripod mounted applications.

I appreciate your explanation and passion to make it work. It amazes me why everytime the xpan is in question the recomendation to use half-assed solution arises. The XPAN is a full-ass camera. No half-ass.

 

[Donald Qualls]

The way I look at it, I've already got the RB67, the 220 back was cheapish (because 220 film is pretty much gone), and tinkering is fun. So, I saved thousands of dollars and avoided dependency on electronics that may fail without warning and are not repairable when (not if) they fail. The tradeoff is I build up my biceps and upper deltoids whenever I use the camera.

I'm still working on coming up with either a film cutter (a la Exakta Varex), rewind mechanism,or similar to allow unloading in the field without needing a dark bag.

Hiking and carrying around heavy objects is good for us.

Mostly -- I'm hoping I'm not permanently retired from using my RB67 on the go; my back has been giving me fits for a couple months. At the least, I need to get a good backpack to carry something heavy like my RB or my Graphic View outside the house. And I need to get a much lighter tripod...

People here are just a bunch of enablers.

Indeed! Most people use this line as a joke. My attitude is to treat it as a real benefit. Part of the reason I'm into this hobby is because it makes me more active. Hiking and carrying around heavy objects is good for us.

Borrow one of my GX680s and get back to me.

I tend to haul it around in a wagon. It's not so much the 11lbs of camera, it's also the tripod I use with it, which weighs as much. And the bulk of everything -- it all takes a lot of space. A second lens is about the same size and weight as my F6 with a 50mm attached.

Got an RB67?

No. Thankfully. I'd be futzing with it as well as what I have. I mean, I could probably rig an adapter on my C330, but I am not so sure vertical landscape panoramas are quite as appealing. At least not where I spend my time. Might be fun to try at golden hour in the loop in Chicago or something for someone creative.

Really, I am trying to be good right now. One idea at a time, and I'm not taking enough photographs at the moment with the gear I have. Doesn't mean I don't really dig the panoramas.

What the heck, this is a cropped image from a 6x4.5 scanned transparency.

Excuse the scan - it is from my early attempts.
The point being that panoramic cameras are wonderful, but the critical part is that you need to be able to see in panoramas.
