Linhof Technorama 617 S (III) or other 6x17 rental in Hong Kong and Tokyo?

Hello everybody,

 

I am about to go to Japan for 1 year. Before that I will be in HK for 8 days in mid May, then Japan at the

end of May.

 

I own a Linhof Master Technika (4x5) and Rolleiflex 6008. But I really would love to take 6x17 pano

pictures of especially Hong Kong but also Tokyo.

 

As the Linhof Technorama 617 S III is kinda out of reach (for my current budget), I would like to rent it for

2-3 days in Hong Kong, which is the most urgent one right now. As I will be staying in Japan for one year

I still have enough time to find something over there. Maybe even buy it from my salary if I totally fall in

love with it.

 

So are there any suggestions where I can rent the Linhof Technorama 617 S (III) or maybe other 6x17

panoramic cameras in Hong Kong?

 

Thanks a lot in advance for your answers & help.

 

Norman

PS: in case of a fixed lens 6x17 camera (e.g. the Linhof Technorama 617 with fixed lens) I

think I'd prefer something between 90 and 110mm. 72mm might be OK, but I guess it's a bit

too wide for my needs.
