I think that everyone understands the point well enough Marty,
especially given the group this is posted to. For someone like Andy
who already owns a Cirkit camera and I assume the equipment to process
the film then it is simply a matter of how much film to order.
The rest of us without a 5 inch camera have to think about issues like
having a camera that can use the film and a way of processing it
*before* we could justify buying any. If we were taking $50 a roll
then I suspect quite a few people would get some for experimentation
but few I feel would want to spend $400 on a roll of film unless they
had a way to use it.
I know from my perspective that I am probably never going to own a 5
inch panoramic, I dont have a Cirkit and my movement in recent years
has been towards smaller/lighter, For Andy's bulk order to be worth
anything to me then a method of using the film in a Graphic, and
methods of developing and printing it afterwards, would be essential.
