6x17 film holder to fit 5x7 inch view camera back?

[Irving Greines]

I noted the reference to "Art Pan" as making a 6x17 back for 4x5 cameras. I'm interested. Could anyone tell me how I can get in touch with Art Pan? Thanks.

I have seen the ART PAN back mentioned above, it is very clumsy, not light and f orget about making rise/fall shifts as you will quickly get into image cutoff.

As I see it, Art Panorama 6x17 film back is of simple, srong and good design. I actually built a "panorama camera" some years ago using the AP 617 back and 90 / f8 Super-Angulon. I made of teak a "camera body" (about 1 inch thick) and instal led to this the lens with a simle rotating focus tube. I use a center filter wit h factor 3 (+1,5 f stop) in front of the lens. I also made the lensboard with 1 5 mm rise and fall.This camera is easyused and strong with a very good photograp hic quality.Pictures taken with this can be seen in www.itameri.net
