This cam was made by our very own Clubsnapper e905591s
Siew Yuan is a very humble guy and a Clubsnap participant in this year's Crossing Bridges 7 trip which just concluded.
I spotted him and his camera one evening in Bacolod , Philippines outside the town's City Hall . I didnt think too much about it until i noticed that his camera was wider than normal
Upon closer inspection............ the enormity of his efforts sank in and I was in total AWE...
I had the privilege to see the camera in action (and IT DOES take 24x108mm panorama images)
Totally manual without a light meter, e905591s literally cut a few Yashica MG rangefinders up and put them together again as a single camera . The winding mechanism works
Looking at the finished product, I really could not make out where the 'surgery' took place.
The lens was a large format glass and mounted very nicely (and accurately )
Kudos to e905591s ..... I'll ask him to post a few comments and images if he is not embarassed enough by the accolades
Ladies and gentlemen............. a local effort worthy of praise
