Just joined this site today, and I'm in the process of finding a 617 camera to start my journey into film! I love panoramic shots and have been shooting digital for 3 years now, but I now have a huge itch to get into film. I can't wait to shoot 4x5 landscape stuff as well. I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and if you guys want to look at some of my stuff, you can go here http://mikeisaak.com/ I'd love your guys opinions.
Hi, Mike! Your website almost, but not quite, fits on a laptop screen (1024x768). Other than that, you have a good layout and some good pictures.
You can get a Shen Hao 6x17 back for 4x5 cameras, but you have to make sure that the camera has a Graflok back. Or you could get a panoramic dark slide and mark off a 1.75-inch segment for 5x1.75 inch, which is the same ratio as 6cm x 17cm.
Thanks Brian. Ya I've been looking at the Shen Hao TFC617-B or the Gaoersi 617 as my options for right now. I'm still doing a lot of research on both before I make a decision. But the Shen Hao is looking like a very good idea as it has tilt and swing where the Gaoersi only has a little shift.Originally Posted by Brian C. Miller
Brian do you know if I was to buy the Shen Hao TFC617-B if I'd also have to buy the roll film back? As it doesn't look like it comes with the camera...

Welcome to group therepy, Mike.Lots of folks around here are into the panoramic work.
Never mind, that's just an extra one you can buy.
Mike welcome to Large Format Photography!
Nothing beats a great piece of glass!
I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.
