Alpa mit Biogon 4,5/38 von Carl Zeiss 36 x 72 - A new format covered by the Carl Zeiss BiogonŽ 4.5/38
Alpa of Switzerland has developed a new medium format frame to be shot on roll film 120 and 220:
36 mm x 72 mm, a panoramic format with a 2:1 aspect ratio. The new format can be covered by Alpa's Carl Zeiss BiogonŽ T* 4.5/38 lens, even at fully open aperture of f/4.5.

The opportunity to snapshoot panoramics with rich detail at f/4.5 is quite unique in the photographic industry, according to Alpa. In order to make full use of this new format and its creative potential, Alpa is developing a motorized film magazine with particularly good film flatness. Camera Lens News will report test results as soon as they become available.
