In January, 1997, Shutterbug had a story on a "Longfellow" 6x17
panoramic camera, including instructions on how to assemble one. It
is made of two diecast 6x9 rollfilm camera bodies, carefully cut and
reassembled. Film viewing window still works as remade, winding the
film to numbers 2-4-6-8. The project includes putting a lens on the
"new" body, but it could make a great pinhole camera.
