Description from the seller

Panoramic device MLP 135, created by the craftsman Lino Muccin of Pordenone. A former employee of the Gatto industries of Pordenone, known for producing the famous Sonne device, he enjoyed designing and building some photographic equipment in retirement, 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 remaining one in the province of Pordenone and thus of exceptional rarity.

MLP 135 produces a panoramic photo of 220 on a frame of 24x180 mm.
Weight: 2.050 kg. - dimensions: 24x14x12 cm.
Accurate, trackable shipping with an international courier.

"The Muccin MLP Panoramic 135 is today a very rare prototype, a subject of great interest for historians and collectors of Italian photographic technology. Its artisanal, limited production and lack of commercialization contribute to giving it an aura of a 'legendary' object for enthusiasts of panoramic cameras."
"The Muccin MLP rightly sits among the select group of independent Italian photographic inventions, a symbol of an era when even individual enthusiasts were able to conceive and build equipment technically at the forefront, while often remaining on the fringes of the market. A unique piece that tells the story of passion, ingenuity and perseverance in Italian author photography." (from the web)
