steve_snyder2 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 <p>Somehow I missed the release of the Holga 135 Pan camera last year. <a href="http://www.freestylephoto.biz/231135-Holga-135-Pan-35mm-Panoramic-Camera">http://www.freestylephoto.biz/231135-Holga-135-Pan-35mm-Panoramic-Camera</a><br> I saw the Holga 120 Pan and think that's a great idea too, but missed the 35mm version. The 35mm version covers the whole frame vertically and does not seem to be a cropped down mask for faux panorama. 24x72mm coverage. It comes with two lenses a 55mm f8 lens and a f236 pinhole. The simple fact that you can exchange lenses seems to open a whole new world for adding your own lens that could be much sharper. I'm not optical geek, but does anyone know where I might look to find a lens that might cover this area if I was to try and craft a lens? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 <p>I would look to see if there are any user groups that concentrate on this camera. If anyone has ever come up with a way to use additional lenses that would be the place to look.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_snyder2 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 <p>I have done a thorough Google search on this subject and I found a couple of other people asking the same question but nobody has taken on this project as far as I can tell. I might have to get an old medium format lens/shutter assembly and some how mount it on the plastic lens barrel. It's like a super cheap Xpan...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_momary Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 <p>If you have a regular Holga, can you use this adapter and your current lens for < $13 ? Listed on Ebay ...<br> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Holga-135-35mm-film-panoramic-adapter-FA135PL-120-/260420837445?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item3ca24aa045">http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Holga-135-35mm-film-panoramic-adapter-FA135PL-120-/260420837445?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item3ca24aa045</a><br> (I have nothing to do with this auction)<br> Jim</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew bedo Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 <p>Why not creat a panoramic back that can mount to a 4x5 camera as a DIY project.</p> <p>The Holga would just serve as the film magazine on the back of the camera?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
