I know how you feel... I have a real soft spot for panoramas.

Back when I owned an RB67 I was able to modify a film back to take a 35mm 
roll, adding a mask to hold the film flat and prevent the sprocket area 
from being exposed.  It wasn't ideal but it was lots of fun.  Removing 
the film required a dark-bag, and I had to rewind it manually with a 
small plastic tool which I made from a broken pen.

Unfortunately I sold the RB so no more pans.  Maybe I'll have to modify 
an old Pentax 67 some day (its cheaper than an Xpan or Mamiya 7II, and 
SLRs suit my kind of work a lot better anyway).

A friend at work just purchased the new Minolta 5400ppi film scanner and 
has offered me his HP S20... which is the only 35mm film scanner I know 
of which can do my 24x68mm panoramas at full resolution, no stitching 
required.  I'll be trying that out tonight.

Cheers,
