Subject: [Leica] IMG: more panoramas with a hacked up Kodak

These Autographics were made with a couple of different lenses.  I have 
a couple with the Anastigmat F7.7 lens.  The original format is just 
about 3x5 inches.  I managed to take a photo or two with cut-down 4x5 -- 
one shot wonders!

I made the mistake of making a nice little display of a couple of 
folders on a shelf and all of the bellows disintegrated after exposure 
to the air.  An almost identical model 1 Autographic jr. is intact since 
it has always been kept in a case, so beware!

Lots of fun.  Your pics make me want to try making a bellows and finding 
a WA lens.
