Panoramic SLR's


Has any manufacturer made a 35mm SLR with a panoramic feature, and a Pentax -k mount?

  Pentax PZ-1P, ZX-7, and ZX-5n have Panorama Format setting, but all this does is block a strip on the top and bottom of the negative. You can do the same thing with any negative from any camera, just request a panoramic reprint.

  Or order an 8x12" print and use scissors to cut it into a long/narrow print.

  I acquired a Pentax ZX-5N recently. Most of my photography involves railroad subjects (trains, locomotives, etc.), which are inherently horizontal and have a relatively low ratio of height to length. I have found the panoramic setting surprisingly useful in composing certain photographs, where I want to exclude extraneous stuff. It may be a gimmick, since it doesn't give you a truly panoramic photo, but it does have some value.
