It broke and I never bothered to try and repair it. In the Fall of 2000, due to my growing interest in true panoramic photography, I bought the Noblex 150UX , a 120 format 6X12cm camera.

I produced a number of photographs that I'm quite happy with.

The Noblex 135-U is a great choice, since it is quite versatile and affordable.
