Analog camera shooting 36 frames in Panorama?

[Roel]

I just looked at the Magnum ContactPrints book and on page 474 I see the contacts of Paolo Pellegrin shooting in Abu Dis Palestina. 2003.

The contacts/pics are panorama but it shows clearly that there are 36 exposures on the 35mm roll.

Can anybody tell me what camera he may have used? Which quality 35mm analog cam shoots 36 exposures from 1 roll.

From the pics it does not look like the cam just dropped there frames above/below to make the landscape picture.

There isn't one Pellegrin uses a Hasselblad X-pan and sometimes used a LF-Camera with panoramic back. The numbers on the film are irrelevant you have to count the pictures

maybe he was shootin APS, lol

Seriously, you can't shoot full-height panoramas if you want 36 pics on a normal roll. Maybe he had extra long roll or something. I think Ilford made at some point long rolls for 35mm cameras that were on thinner base so the fitted like, 72 regular-size frames on one roll
but i think he probably just cropped and copy pasted the film frame.

that was again a joke of course, about crop/copypaste

my Minolta Freedom Vista shoots 36 frames a roll

One gets 20-21 pictures with an X Pan on a 36 exposure roll. The contact sheets show the 21 pictures, of course the numbering stays on the roll. The way the camera works, number 36 is usually the first picture shot and number 1 is the last.

You guys are right. There were 21 pictures on the roll and the numbering is 2 per picture. So no thinner film (Kodak). So it probably was the Xpan.

I am thinking about a Panorama camera and wondering what the Pro/cons are when comparing Xpan with Widelux type cams. Probably interesting for another topic..

Differences Xpan vs Widelux etc... types

+ X-pan allows you to use different lenses
+ X-pan allows you to shoot non panoramic Images
+ Faster to use
+- Metering (Noblex do have metering as well)
- the Format is panoramic but it does not have a true panoramic view (swing lens around 178 - 180° round shot 360° as opposed to the widest X-pan lens 30mm 94°)
- You can get the same results (Xpan) by cropping a mediumformat negative
- A 35mm Panorama insert for the Bronica + camera is probably cheaper than the X-pan
