dourbalistar has a portrait on his flickr account that I just love. It includes the full 35mm rebate - shot on a 6x7 camera. Those little plastic "doo-dads" (that is what I call them) I mentioned a few pages ago - also allow capturing the image across the rebate. However, without a mask, the film cupping is not flattened. That is one problem. The other was my Agfa Isolette II's little red window leaks light like a sleeve. So here goes round two of the poor man's xpan. (didn't use the Yashicaflex this time)
I played around with this for a while in a Pentax 67. I gave up because of the cupping and also the novelty wore off. I still do like to shoot true XPan format (25x65mm) with the mask that came with my kit though.
Some stocks worked better than others for me, especially Arista EDU 400 and Kentmere Pan 400. Also, neither of those have the edge bar coding, which is a nice bonus.

Heron,
That first one is awesome, and the others work too. It is just in certain compositions that I love the effect. I have more ideas, and cameras. I can accomplish this - I know I can. I already have my next idea to try.

Recently I got out the Pentax 645 and 645N, tripod, and cable shutter release. The 645N photos are for down the road as the shoe box needs to be full of exposed C-41, and E6 film before I mix the chemistry and soup the rolls. The 645 had 5222-XX. This is the Pigeon River area at Hemlock Crossing.
Pentax 645 with Pentax-A 45mm f2.8 - 5222-XX @ stock ISO & development times of 10min @ 68 degrees

Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Kentmere Pan 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a trichrome color image.
So here goes round two of the poor man's xpan. (didn't use the Yashicaflex this time)
