Description from the seller

Panoramic MLP 135 device, created by artisan Lino Muccin of Pordenone. A former employee of Gatto industries of Pordenone, manufacturers of the famous Sonne apparatus, who, after retirement, enjoyed designing and building photographic equipment, 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 the prototype stage, and the MLP 135 and MPL 120 panoramics. These devices also remained at the prototype stage, perhaps only a few units per type.

The device presented is the last remaining in the province of Pordenone and therefore of exceptional rarity.

MLP 135 produces a panoramic photo of 220 on a frame of 24x180 mm.
Weight: 2.050 kg. - dimensions: 24x14x12 cm.
Careful and tracked shipment with international courier.

"The Muccin Panoramic MLP 135 is today a very rare prototype, a subject of great interest for historians and collectors of Italian photographic technology. Its limited artisanal production and lack of commercialization contribute to giving it an aura of a 'legendary' object for enthusiasts of panoramic cameras."
"The Muccin MLP rightly 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 technologically 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 contemporary photography." (from the web)
