MLP 135-panoramica-rarissima. Panorama camera

MLP 135 Panoramic Device, created by craftsman Lino Muccin of Pordenone. A former employee of Gatto Industries of Pordenone, famous for producing the Sonne device, in retirement he enjoyed designing and building some photographic devices, including Vestacrom, a 35mm camera conceived as a true “Italian Leica.” The project aimed at a more efficient construction: very similar to the Sonne C4, which however remained at prototype stage, and the panoramic MLP 135 and MPL 120. These devices also remained at prototype stage, perhaps only a few units per type. The presented device is the last one remaining in the province of Pordenone and therefore exceptionally rare. The MLP 135 takes a panoramic photo of 220 on a frame of 24x180 mm. Weight: 2.050 kg. - dimensions: 24x14x12 cm. Accurate tracked shipping with international courier. "The Muccin Panoramic MLP 135 is today a very rare prototype, of great interest to historians and collectors of Italian photographic technology. Its limited artisanal production and lack of commercial distribution contribute to give it an aura of a “legendary” object for enthusiasts of panoramic cameras." "The Muccin MLP rightfully belongs to the small group of independent Italian photographic inventions, a symbol of an era in which even individual enthusiasts were able to conceive and build technically advanced equipment, while often remaining on the margins of the market. A unique piece that tells the story of passion, ingenuity, and perseverance in Italian artistic photography." (from the web)
