- I don't know about a new high end, but I've heard that in Japan you can buy
- Minolta Dynaxes with a special "panoramic" option that lets you take panoramic
- pictures. I suspect it's like the disposables, where you only get a narrow
- exposure in a standard 35mm frame. In any event, last I heard they weren't
- being sold outside of Japan, but I suppose it's up to the individual distrib-
- utors whether they feel it's worthwhile to import or not.
