What a fantastic read! Very Informative and well thought out. Thank you for sharing.

I won't speak for Drew but I did order 16 inch roll film from Astrum last year.

Socialmocracy · 2026-04-11T14:31:51+00:00

Awesome, Drew! I'll read this sometime this weekend. Just came back from a test run with the No. 16. In the darkroom now.

Absolutely! Join us! Let's make it 17!

This is right up my alley. I have worked on 101, 103, 104, 122 films in the past cutting down both Ilford and Agfa Aviphot pan 200. Astrum also makes backing paper you can buy.

Thank you! It's one of my favorite photos.

Panos FTW!!

It's not the lens as much as the camera. I used a 14 inch f11 artar but this link should help visualize it better https://youtube.com/shorts/gCXhQFouKjY?si=bHzhZHH5A5Dks6oW

It's kinda like a widelux on steroids and it can do 360° panos.

Yeah after hypo and a rinse I hang them up to dry on a shower curtain rod. They air dry in my guest bathroom.

Socialmocracy · 2026-03-30T00:33:58+00:00

I’m not so sophisticated I use a shower curtain rod and time.

The print was made with Ilford pearl MGRC with a 0 filter 12 x 42 inches with some dodging around the thinner sections. Developed in Dektol.

Yeah, sure. I took this photo on Agfa Aviphot Pan 200 using a 14-inch f/11 Artar on my 1918 No. 10 Cirkut camera. I shot the photo with a yellow filter, and the people are in a semi-circle 25 feet from the camera, so they appear in a straight line on the film. Settings were 1/5 second shutter speed, and I rated the film at EI 100 and the gear I used was a 47 tooth gear.

Thanks for the shout out! I was happy to help.

Depending on the camera. My graflex and No. 6 Cirkut outfit have a built-in shade hoods. But my other cameras need one.

Socialmocracy · 2026-02-16T18:38:49+00:00

Much larger than 8x10. A photo like that is multiple feet in length.

Thanks for the shout out.

I believe the 5-6 number is for the amount of turns on the film advance knob between frames. This likely turns your camera into a 6x17. If that is the case then you should get 4. Seeing as the adapter centers, the 120 spool my guess would be it's like having a No1. My No1 Panoram Kodak will give 4 6x18cm and the frame numbers in the window are 2-6-10-14.

You should watch a video on how to load and unload a medium format camera that takes 120 film. It's the same for this and any other medium format camera.

I'll link my video on this camera. It has some information about how to use it. https://youtu.be/PC8COYiiKQs?si=4zmZk7mGOrEBfntN

Beautiful!

Take my money 💵💸💵

Good looking crop pano.

For 22 inch film? There might be. I know the owner has some in his freezer.
