Revived 1908 Al vista panoramic camera - ready to use with Xray film!

New to me - the amazing Al Vista panoramic camera from c1908.

With much more sophisticated #engineering than the #Kodak Panorams I have been using, I am looking forward to seeing what images I can make with this swing lens camera - negatives are 90x240mm, so not quite as big as those for the Panoram, but close. It didn’t take a lot to re-commission this camera - just clean and lubricate.

Made by the Multiscope and Film company of Wisconsin USA. They sold it, unusually, on a hire purchase type arrangement for the 1908 equivalent of $3000 ($30 actual sale price)
