Panoram Kodak
The Panoram Kodak first appeared in the late 19th Century. It came in two forms: The No1 and the No 4. The No 1 has a 120 degree field of view projecting from a swinging lens onto122 roll film which delivered 6 shots per roll. The No4 has a wider 142 degree field of view projecting onto103 roll film which delivered 4 shots per roll.
My camera is a late model (c1920)
No4 Model D.
The original purchaser could choose the lens design and quality. Mine has a Goerz 125mm F6.7 lens with Waterhouse stops.
I use single sheets of X ray film, swapping after each shot in a large film changing bag. Each shot is 12"x4" (30x10cm) and is a great size for making contact prints.
Shutter speeds are approx 1/50 and 1/100s.
