This is the backside of "Goliath," my ancient Fujica G960 BL medium format rangefinder camera. It's not a pretty sight. Normally, Goliath produces massive 9x6cm negatives using medium-format film. As an experiment, I decided to adapt this behemoth so that it produced panoramic pictures using standard 35mm film. The first problem was securing a 35mm film cassette into a chamber designed for medium format film. After a lot of messing around, I found that placing two polystyrene pellets (as used in packing delicate items for the post) in the film chamber was the best way of securing the 35mm cassette. The film is then pulled across to the take-up spool on the right and attached to it with masking tape. With the back closed, two strokes of the wind-on lever are required to move the film to the next frame. The standard lens with this camera is the 100mm / f3.5 Fujinon although the viewfinder has lines for 100mm and 150mm lenses. Framing panoramic shots with this set-up is a bit of an inexact science but great fun. From my first roll of 36 exposure b+w film, I was able to get 13 panoramas, each measuring 24mm by nearly 90mm! As an added bonus, the picture spills on to the borders of the frames, around the sproket holes.... looks very cool (but unfortunately my current scanner can't scan the borders so I can't share the coolness).
Once you get to the end of the film, you can't rewind it (this is a medium format camera which is designed to use rollfilm, remember). I take the film out of the camera in a dark bag and feed it directly onto the developing reel and then place the reel in a Jobo tank ready for developing.
See my stream for some panoramic photos produced by Goliath.

Captured at the Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge. This was an effort to get out of my "normal" point of view and do something different for a change.
The "Baltimore & Ohio" F7 (ex-Bessemer and Lake Erie) and an actual former Pennsylvania Railroad E8A (EP22) sit and soak up the night light at Spencer in a rear end view.
The lighting possibilities were nearly endless; I ran out of time before angles.

While it is preferred to capture the front of a bird, there is a lot to see on this Hooded Merganser as it swims away.

The statue's backside, and no, he is not having an erection. The bulge is his loincloth covering his penis, as a matter of fact (see previous and next photos).
I took some more photos of the bronze/ brass statue of javelin thrower. If I don't post them now, I'd forget and not post them for years. No better time than now : )
