Hi Dave.

I bought the Fotodiox (http://www.fotodiox.com) kit here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3860687820

With this kit you use 35mm film in a Pentax 6x7, 67 or 67II body. You
make 18 pictures out of a 36 exp. 35mm film (you use the 220 film
selector and pressure plate). That's the big advantage. If your
intention is to make 24x66mm panoramic photos, you don't waste 120/220
film.

With the kit you get also a panoramic viewfinder mask that disciplines
the composition. You have a complete new approach to the subject with
this mask, different than with simple lines (like the Z1P/PZ1P). And it
is inexpensive (USD 98,00).

Right now, Fotodiox is not selling this item on ebay but you can contact
them via e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I bought a second 6x7 (very early Mk I, non-MLU) body just to have the
kit permanently on. This is my "Hasselblad"...

Hope this helps, Dave.

Where do you get these?

I ask more out of curiosity now, because I'm now able to do a high-res 
scan of the centre of a 6x7 slide, so all I need to do is make a 
composition guide for the viewfinder (I'll just draw some lines on a 
piece of mylar).
