My last was in the '70s. I built it around some outdated dental panorama x-ray film (5X12 inches if I remember correctly). Built a camera of a large mailing tube. A couple of glass pipettes glued in for a negative holder. Lots of room for diverse design and distortion in this field. I think I remember recently seeing a pinhole to fit your favorite M body. Haven't seen the Puts analysis yet. Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/Passing-Fancies On Feb 20, 2006, at 4:49 PM, Scott McLoughlin wrote: > Ok, I'll admit - I'm super impressed.
