Re: Curved Film Plane Pinhole Panos -- construction quesry

It's dramatically easier if you use paper rather than film for the negative.
if you use film, use very large format and make contact prints. There are
threads in the cameramakers group archives on the problems of curving film
planes. Kurt Mottweiler is the guru of curved film. I don't have addresses
but you can search.
