Though 6x9 is not a panoramic format, nevertheless this 6x9 finds special mention as its seldom seenhas a very wide angle of view and the same principle is used in making many panoramic cameras.
The camera was made by Palm Press, a Boston based company. The company still exists, however they don't make this camera anymore. This particular unit is fitted with a 35mm apo Grandagon.
I thank Mr. Kevin Strandberg for using these pictures. Visit his website for more information on him. Some more information on his handmade camera projects can be found here and here . Yo can have a look at his book for more details of these "Franken cameras".
In the following video Kevin describes many of his handmade cameras and the artworks they produced.
