new toy that i jus got

A pinhole camera that comes bundled with a Japanese inventions magazine. Shoots in 3 different formats. 1. Stereo Photography 2. True Panorama (like Xpan) 3. Regular 35mm 3:2 aspect ratio. This camera needs to be DIY. Bought it at takashimaya's Kinokuniya for sgd$39 ( no discount will be sgd$49 ).

That's damn cool! It's 35mm? The spools look like they are meant for 120..

yeap it's the usual 35mm. When shooting panorama, it's like xpan, uses 2 frames of space to shoot a true panorama pic

hey, where did they move all the gakken magazines to ahh? i can't find them anymore!

I've just fixed up mine today and very eager to shoot a roll.

May I know where can I get the panorama shots developed? Would typical photo developing shops do?

Thanks.

i was recoommended to go Fotohub by a friend. they do have dedicated services specifically for the xpan format.

but i feel it's nt cheap. I only develop negative and trasfer to cd (4base) and it cost me abt $25. if print on panorama paper will be like $3 per foto.

I would like to noe if there are good and cheaper alternatives. I wonder if konota or shalom is able to do it. Do let me noe.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. Unfortunately I am not in SG now (I wasn't clear in my post) but I will keep them in mind when I am back for home trips in the future.

So I guess, a normal photo shop in Canada probably won't be able to develop the pano shots. Maybe I can try just develop the negatives. Guess I will have to go to a special photo store to check it out. That's the convenience of living in SG.

Cheers.
