I know a Brazilian who lives in Sao Paulo who built a 4x5 box camera using the 47XL. He used a helical bought off ebay. I bought my 47/5.6 from him--I use that as my ultrawide for 6x12. Come to think of it, an ultrawide 6x12 point-n-shoot would be even easier, and I have a spare Shen-Hao roll-film holder. Hmmmm.

I'm heading to Alta to ski next month. Really looking forward to it. It looks like they've got great snow this year.

Awesome pano Frank.

Thanks. What's funny about it is that you can see the weather-sun change during the walk from left to right (it was a mile long with stops to shoot). Most people shoot panos from one vantage point.

Come to think of it, does anyone else do this? Walk between the shots to do a pano?

I like that shot, too, and have ski'd there a couple of times. But, wouldn't Kirk normally be descending on a non-LF post?

It was four large format shots....

Must be lovely, printed big.

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. :) It's a very good image. With immobile subjects, the walk-between-shots method should give higher quality than the pivot-the-camera method, as the end shots aren't stretched to get the right subject size. I've done "the walk" method with some industrial interiors.

I probably should go back the original film and rescan it, then make a nice expensive roll paper print for someone's ski house.... hmm....

Indeed. He has been active for many years on a forum for those who collect ex-soviet cameras and lenses, which I currently moderate. I wish I'd had time to meet him in person when I was in Sao Paulo in November, but my trip there was official and filled with activities.

Given his own point-n-shoot project, I'm not surprised that you know him. His project first got me interested in the concept.
