My early experiments with panoramics were concerned with trying to make my images essentailly simple, and the art of exclusion became as important as the choice of what to include in each image. After shooting several books with a fixed-lens Fuji G617 camera, it became apparent that I should take a hacksaw to it, and thus was born the Z-Pan camera, essentially a panoramic-format 6x17cm film holder bolted onto the rear of my Linhof TechniKardan view camera. This enables all types of lenses to be used with tilt-and-shift movements, though 2 tripods are sometimes needed.
