The longfellow 6x18cm article I saw was in the British Journal of Photography, by Roger Hicks at BJP Jan 15, 1997 issue, a few pages describing and showing the final Longfellow 6x18cm camera and info about the coverage and the fact that a 90mm f/6.8 angulon (not super angulon, the cheaper older version) would cover 6x17cm or even 6x18cm, depending on how you put the bodies together. There is also a version of this article about the same time in Shutterbug, IIRC too. I bought the lens and shutter ($100) planning on using it well stopped down etc. Not much if any excess coverage, needs to be well stopped down to perform well (see related notes at http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/lflenses.html and mf/panoramic.html). The Longfellow used two metal body ensign cameras welded together to make a film channel 6x18cm long etc. HTH bobm * Robert Monaghan POB752182 Dallas Tx 75275-2182 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Third Party 35mm Lenses: http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/third/index.html * * Medium Format Cameras: http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/index.html megasite* _______________________________________________ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
