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
