Film is film... once upon a time we used to load that in our cameras... they come in various size rolls, depending on the format and the cameras look something like this...
Notice got no LCD display! Wow!
Now, there are many panoramic film bodies out there, most of them shoot medium format rolls, typically 6x12, 6x17 and even 6x24. It was only fairly recently when the new full 360 film bodies like the
Seitz Roundshot appeared. The Roundshots come in various versions, mine is the handheld model, the 28-220. One click and the lens head rotates through whatever field of view you program it to... up throuugh 405 degrees. Instant panoramic on one exposure. Of course it suffers from the some of the drawbacks... single exposure setting for the entire scene and levelling problems when handheld. Nice tool...
