just to pass on an idea Ed Romney pointed out, many of the older
cheapy polaroid cameras (swinger..) had lenses around 107mm+ or so;
you can remove these, replace with a lens from a #616 folder (with x synch)
and use as a polaroid test camera - cheaper than most alternatives ;-)

I haven't found a listing of polaroid lenses by focal length and coverage,
but can't help wondering if some of them might make decent relatively
wide angle low cost lenses for formats from 6x6cm up? panoramics? IF anyone
knows of any of these polaroid (Ysarex, Tominon..) lenses that might work
I'd be interested too in hearing of such experiences ;-)
