Looks vaguely like the Linhof 6x17.

As with all digital won't be long before it's superseded! <g> In what two
years Hassleblad have bought out 3 digital models and upgraded. I can still
see 6x17 users sticking to film for now even with Fuji 100 being the slowest
preferred speed available.

I saw a site recently though only can't remember where four now where the
'6x17' panoramic shots were all stitched digitally. A decent panoramic head
for my tripod is a lot cheaper than this kit. At least I can add a digital
back to my Hasselblads and Mamyia 6x7 if I needed to. If that was the case
and I was being paid then I'd hire one.

No its not - what you get with a pan head is a curved field and not a
flat field.

At this stage a 6x17 and scanning the tranny is a far cheaper course of
action. That camera is only $36,000 US tho! (3x that of a new Linhof)

Yes you do get a curved field with a pan head but I was referring to
stitching the shots rather than stacking then and correcting the
distortions. Sorry I didn't explain very well.
