…to me, anyway.
Around 1989, the Kodak Stretch 35 kicked off a fad for 35mm cameras with the option to crop their film gates down to a narrow ribbon, for a pseudo-panorama effect. Eventually this gimmick worked its way upmarket, even coming to enthusiast SLRs like the Pentax ZX-5. Even so, I never stopped thinking it was kind of a dopey idea.
But I finally found a use for it!
Nothing prevents you from taking a plasticky 18-55 kit zoom (from a Pentax APS-C DSLR) and mounting onto a film body. Of course it was never designed to cover the full 24x36mm film image circle. But switch on that "panoramic" setting, and you get rid of the vignetted corners! This works almost all the way out to the widest 18mm setting. That's wide-angley enough that I'd almost call it a real panorama.

This is my second time sewing this pattern. I love the first and get complimented almost every time I wear it out and it's so comfortable too. Once again, I used some quilting cotton in two shades and worked view A with the pockets with contrasting band from another view.
I did modify the garment slightly this time. My butt combined with my sway back, causes the back hem to sit higher than the front. There's no easy way to modify this. If you cut the hem even with the floor, the contrast band on the bottom will be shorter in front than in back which would look weird. My choice was to either cut the top of the skirt below the waist band, and adjust the waistband to fit, or cut the lower edge of the main skirt and adjust the contrast band at the bottom.
I decided on the first option for two reasons.
1. I'll generally wear something that covers the waistband.
2. The edge along the waistband is shorter so there's less to adjust.
I did not get it perfect and there's a little gathering in the front but I think it's acceptable.
So overgrown that neither human, sheep or dog would be getting through unless they hacked out the vegetation :-)
A deep fried rice ball with meat filling. It was luxurious and oozing in the center with an almost shockingly crisp exterior. Really well made. Loved the tiny pool of marinara dressing the plate. Simple and delicious.
