The camera provides sweeping panoramic views with a 3:1 aspect ratio providing 4 exposures on 120 rollfilm, or 8 on 220 rollfilm. The camera is widely used for panorama and vertical-shots in landscape, architecture, industry and creative imaging.
The standard lens is a Schneider Super Angulon 90 mm/5.6 with a between-lens shutter, The camera is equipped with a bright-line optical finder with parallax correction frame lines. The camera body is made of die-cast metal and is designed to offer optimum film flatness with conventional roll film.
Technorama, a panoramic camera that uses 120 roll film and produces a photograph measuring 2 1/4x6 3/4 inches.
The 90mm Schneider Super Angulon with its F5.6 maximum opening is mounted in a leaf-type shutter with speeds from B (time exposure) to 1/ 500 second. A helical focusing mount is used to manually set distances. The 120 roll film delivers 4 panoramic pictures relatively free of distortion. There is a built-in double-exposure prevention device. The well designed optical view finder also incorporates a level that is visible while the picture is being taken. This helps avoid distortion caused by inadvertently tilting the camera. There is even provision for flash, unusual in cameras of this type. Using a special bracket, two flash units are mounted atop the camera and angled 30 degrees outward from the center. This provides even illumination with no hot spots in the picture.
The back of the camera may be removed for easy film loading, and a spring-loaded pressure plate coupled with a precision-milled film-guide channel insures the necessary film flatness for sharp pictures.
