Panorama with 135 film 135 膠片全景照

《Shooting panorama with 135 film in Mamiya RB67》
The epidemic was raging in Toronto. While staying home for social distancing, I started to play with the medium format camera for the first time in my life! Mamiya RB67 Pro SD was one of the renowned medium-format professional cameras in the 1970s. Its 120 film took 56mm x 67mm photos, a dimension of 6x7 much larger than the traditional 35 mm photos.

 I love panoramic photography, and the wide scene of the shots appear stunning.  Among the few panoramic cameras, the Hasselblad XPan camera is a forerunner, taking a photo equivalent to the length of two films, but this camera at US$4,000 is too expensive!   A few days ago, I successfully made 135 film adapters for the commonly found 135 film in the RB67.    A roll of 135 film for 24 exposures took 13 panoramic photos for testing, which is comparable to that taken by the Hasselblad XPan!

【膠片攝影樂】
《萬美亞RB67中的 135膠片全景照》
多倫多疫情肆虐，宅家期間，開始生平第一次使用中型片幅相機拍照的經歷！萬美亞Mamiya RB67 Pro SD是70年代中型片幅專業相機的表表者，用120菲林拍出 6x7 大底片幅 56mm x 67mm 的照片，比傳統 35mm 照片大得多。

我喜歡全景照片，廣濶的場景使人震撼。環顧寥寥全景相機中，哈蘇 XPan 相機可算箇中翹楚，拍出相等於兩格菲林長度的照片，但此機 4,000 美元一部，價錢昂貴，令人卻步！日前我自製了菲林「接配器」，將普遍容易購買到的135菲林安裝在RB67 相機上，一卷24張的135菲林拍出13張全景照片，以作測試，媲美哈蘇 XPan 拍出來的效果！
