For one, anybody have any experience with Gaoersi I noticed they also make pano cameras of a few formats.
I am only interested in the roll film adapters. Looked at the Chinese plastic ones but seem to have flatness/light leak issues.
I would prefer one like the Cambo or Sinar insert models, but too much $$
Thanks

I have a Gaoersi 617 pano camera. I've had it for 1.5 yrs now. It works great. I can't comment on their roll film back.

Thanks, that's a good data point. If their basic design & workmanship is good, I am optimistic.

I would buy another product from them in the future. Not much can go wrong with the camera, I don't expect any future issues.
After I advance film to the next frame, I always give a slight twist to both knobs in opposite directions to make sure the film is tight. I have never had a film flatness issue.
