Greg, The lens was for seven inch long pictures on 120 film. I have one of the cameras. The film magazine is popular for pano conversions. I have a 5 x 7 back for it. It's a real kluge - instruction manual is more interesting than the camera :-) Go here to see pictures of cam: http://www.phsc.ca/Show_Tell_2001/Text_Files/Ron_Anger.html AZ Build a Lookaround!

The cameras produced 7" wide photos. So I'm thinking to myself that that's a pretty big image circle and it might make a nice tilt lens for my 35mm camera. Has anyone made, or does anyone have plans, for building the tilt mechanism? I know lensbabies makes them but buying one is nowhere near as fun as building one. > > No particular lens mount or anything just the swing part. > > Greg
