No ! -- as Stroller pointed out, zoom lenses were invented only c 1950. My stepfather's model was made in Germany c 1939 & had been mentioned to him as a good buy by a photo-expert friend. After the traumas of England 1940, someone had sold it to a store, which was offering it very cheaply, so he grabbed a very real bargain. I didn't think of keeping it after he died, but it wb a collector's item: I've put a photo I found on the I/net in my 'test' directory. It didn't use 35 mm film, but '120' IIRC, a much larger format. What was a typical focal length for a good camera in 1939 ? This thread, tho' rather far from Gentoo itself, has obviously been of interest to a number of people & can serve as a resource for anyone searching the I/net for advice how to make a panorama from smaller images, but we shouldn't take it too far & images themselves belong elsewhere. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
