Fotoman series comes with the shift adapter (SA-612 Shift Adapter offering 50mm of total movement i.e. +/- 25mm) and ground glass as well though the back is not removable. I will probably report on what my early impressions are if anyone is remotely interested. ;)
Cheers!
I see. I just purchased a brand new set of Fotoman 612 with 75mm f6.8 Rodenstock Grandagon N and 120mm f5.6 Nikon AM-ED. I thought the price was quite okay compared to Gaoersi. :)
Wonder if anyone have any experience with fotoman camera bodies? :) I cannot seem to find much information over the internet.
They seem to be quite highly rated by a couple of photographers. Am looking at the 612, 617 and 624 bodies.
Cheers!
Thanks guys! Yup I agree the pics may be slanted as they were all hand held. ;) One of the first few test rolls of velvia and provia in January when I was in Melbourne.
Hi all,
Sharing some panos I took in Melbourne during January. :) Did only a 4 Base Scan so quality may not be the best. Comments are welcome. Still trying to learn how to use the Xpan.

I appreciate all the comments that have been posted so far as well as those who PM-ed me privately.
I have decided to invest on a mamiya 645 Pro system to try out MF first. :)
Most of my landscape and architecture shots are tripod mounted, however I would like to do some street shooting with it if possible, hence the handholding. :) I just tried using the Mamiya 645 Pro during lunch earlier and its weight acceptable but find the hassy to be too heavy.
I actually went to P&G to try out a Hassy 503CXi. Interesting but I find it a little heavy and awkward to use for handheld shots. I kinda of like the Mamiya 645 Pro and AFD due to the grip which makes the transition easier. Think I shall go down and have another feel today. :)
You have a hassy to loan me for a shoot? Hahaha I have considered the 500cm but lenses and stuff are expensive. Just want something to shoot over a period to see if I can accept the weight and any other tradeoffs. ;)
