Hello John,

Thank you for the information. Sounds as though you have a very interesting
pano. camera.  Do you have any more info. on a web site?

Think it was Kerry Thalaman who did the tests you refer to on Hexanon 4x5
coverage - the URL is http://www.hevanet.com/cperez/MF_testing.html

Oh, well the 90mm shutter testing and lens coverage still needs to be done
then :-)  If the 90mm covers 6x9 then it'll be fine for my setup.

Would be delighted to send you some dosh for shipping me the 90mm glass -
am assuming that the elements are held in their threaded retainers.  Please
let me know off the list, thank you.


All the best,
