Recently, some builders re-introduced panoramic cameras built from standard 35mm cameras for which the film path has been grinded away to extend the film gate.
The shutter mechanism, pentaprism etc. are discarded, retaining only the film transport mechanism. A lens cone is attached to the body with a mated medium or large format lens. Depending on the camera and the extra space that can be accommodated for the extended film path, 3:1 or even longer aspect panoramics can be made.
Check this video which reviews one of such camera , The Presspan
You can find some more internal pics of the camera here.
I'll be back soon with some more Grind-o-ramas
