[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Does anyone in the group have experience with the Noblex cameras, in particularly the model 150? While the 6 x 12 format yields a less extreme aspect ratio (1:2 instead of 1:3) the curved platen and revolving lens seem to make a wider angle of acceptance than the 617 cameras. I'm wondering about reliability, and about distortion. Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? /David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Hopkinson" <hoppyman@bigpond.net.au> To: "'Leica Users Group'" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 3:49 PM Subject: RE: Re[2]: [Leica] 6x17 lust > Have you guys not considered the Fotoman cameras?
