[Leica] Hands up who thinks GeeBee should be forced to borrowanXpan?

Douglas, that's quite some impressive gear. It's interesting that panorama 
cameras have a small following still. In Australia we
have some gear designs coming out of China now,
<http://www.mainlinephoto.com.au/category20_1.htm> which is very much 
cheaper than Linhof, for example. It seems to me that 120 film
based cameras are quite practical for this. You've really got to be 
dedicated to pursue sheet film options.
Regarding the Chinese production, I suspect that this manufacturing base 
will continue to become more important for film cameras,
(and perhaps film?) as the digital marketing tsunami continues its 
decimation of traditional choices.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy,
this bloke lives about 45 minutes drive from here. makes a pretty 
versatile camera too,  6x6 up to 6x17 with tilt and shift - if you are a 
nervous person, don't look at his prices, but, after all, they are hand 
made/specially modified
