Yes. Or half a dark slide as the lowest investment.
There’s different solutions depending on how deep is your pocket and how much you’re planning to shot panos.

Personally, I use a NOBLEX PRO 6/150UX with its slow exposure module when I need it. The negatives fit into a custom carrier that I enlarged/machined for my 4x5 Durst enlarger. Largest prints I have made are 24" wide but actually prefer 20" wide prints. Can honestly recommend the camera 100%. Loading it takes practice at first, but becomes second hand soon after. Viewfinder is amazingly very accurate. Handheld possible, have done it, but much prefer using a tripod to carefully compose the image.
You guys SUCK!!!
Just buy more gear....
LOL...
Interesting camera.

You can stitch 4x5 shots together for panos with incredible detail. I wanted the cirkut camera look without the hassle and started experimenting. It is more difficult to line shots up because the lens is so far from the rotational axis of the tripod. You have to overlap more than you think. Here is one of my better attempts using 4 or 5 vertical 4x5 sheets with a closeup for detail:
I forgot to mention that I abandoned stitching 4x5s when I got a half frame dark slide for my 11x14.
I also own a Noblex (Pro 6/150 F)
If you get a Noblex make sure it has front rise. Mine does not. The lens on mine is so wide that any tilting causes the edges to curve.
Thank you!!
I just shot a 4x5 pano today of 3 shots. I hope it ends up being equivalent to a 4x10. But in light of your post, I might not have allowed enough overlap. But that's part of the process. And also what I was hoping to learn from this thread.
I will develop the film tomorrow and post the results.

Here is my first successful attempt at a 4x5 (three frame) stitch into what is about a 4x10 image. I don't want to talk about the first two attempts!!!
Anyway, this is a quick edit and clean up. I can probably spend a lot more time getting this better. One thing is, I used manual lens correction, and I'm not sure I have this right. But for now...what do you think?
