Handmade swing-lens cameras are exceedingly rare because of the difficulties in construction. I have managed to cover only 3-4 of them before. Some months ago Simon Lund shared his story of making a 6x12 swing-lens panoramic camera and some examples of some very artistic and sharp panoramic exposures made by him.
This 6x12 camera was constructed using the 40mm lens taken from a Leica CL and the body was machined from Aluminum
Here are some more pictures showing the internals and outer appearance of the camera. A great machining example indeed.
I thank Simon Lund very much for this information. You can view his photographic website at simonlund.com and particularly the panoramic photographs from this link
