Just idle curiosity. Seems like it would be an impressive panoramic format and film would be fairly available (just cut 20x24 in half)...(I tried it but I got 12x20 sheets...:rolleyes: )

From one idle thinker to another:

You can get ortho xray film in 14x36, so I'm thinking about that.

Also, 20x24 with six sheets of 8x10....

Okay, while I wait for a carbon print to transfer I can put my .02 worth to this. Cutting down x-ray film is not an option unless you like scratches. The stuff is very very fragile. So, looks like you have to make the 14x36" camera instead!

I had an inquiry about building one, but my would-be customers interest seems to have waned.

We supplied a prototype S&S 10X24" holder to a photographer in Asia who is interested in having a camera this size made. Have someone else in the US interested in the same size right now.l

Just shoot 8x20 and make enlargements :p Oh, on second thought that would result in 10x25 images :eek:

To quote W. Eugene Smith, slightly out of context, "photography made difficult".
