Anyone have experience with the old Panoram Kodak ?

Kodak # 1 Panoram - anybody shoot w/ one ?
I recently discovered that Kodak made some panoramic cameras before the Great Depression...

Does anyone have one / shot with one ?


It looks like a big box Brownie with a metal flap that folds-down in front, and a bellows -mounted lens that swings thru an arc. As I understand it, there's no shutter per se; apparently the lens/gate swinging across the curved film plane acts as the "shutter"...

Don't want to spend very much for one if "they never worked"...

Hi,

I remember an old photo Life article with some fantastic Panoram pictures of Italian gardens.
The photographer mentioned that "There's always something going wrong with the camera"
