Here's the deal, I love panorama. I have an xpan that is a great camera, but I n ever use it. Mostly because in any situation that would be good for a 35mm range finder camera, I take my Leica CL which has more and faster lenses. So I've deic ided to sell the xpan and move up to 6x12 pano. Especially since I have a large pile of expired 120 film that I was given.
I'll probably get a used Horseman 6x12 back, and use it on my Crown Graphic (and possibly on my Arca Discovery). My main use is going to be (strange as it sound s), skateboard and BMX photography. The Xpan's main drawback here is that I can' t flash synch at any faster than 1/125. So a leaf shutter camera will be a good thing.
I'm looking for a good and cheap(er) 47-90 lens for the Crown graphic (I doubt t here will be a 47 that fits the bill, but I thought I'd just add it anyway). I a lready have a 127 Ektar and a (new) 210 Schnieder. But I'd like something WIDE f or the skateboard shots. I don't care much about movements, so as long as it cov ers 4x5 I'll be happy.
And if anyone has ideas about viewfinders for such a setup, I'd be interested in hearing about them. I was planning to use one of the Voigtlander RF ones if I d ecided that I need one.
