A Noblex 150 (of course it uses regular 120-format (with a trick you
can also use 220), but since the film rails are curved, and the film
is under tension, the film needs a more firm hold, hence 50mm netto
instead of the regular 56mm of other camera's).
Noblex 175 gains you 50x170mm, and the Eyescan 624 5x23cm.
All hand-holdeable, single shot.
(an equivalent Seitz 65/70 for continuous 360-pans by also
transporting film instead of only moving the lens weighs 14kg....no
good for skiing....:))
Actually, I consider a Noblex 150 as one of the most compact large
format camera's....it still fits upright in my PhotoTrekker, where
otherwise an EOS-1 + booster + lens would have been....:))
