Is this possible? A camera store guy (yes... you know the sort), once told me that there exists a Nikon 20x which will cover an entire 6x6 negative. He said it was big and expensive: 300 Brit-Pounds. I haven't seen it listed anywhere, so either it's something discontinued, or it's just another one of the camera-related urban legends. > ________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!?
