Fuji GX617 Panoramic Photography

The Fuji GX617 Panoramic Archive

Beginning in 1991, the Fuji GX617 became an important part of the photographic archive. Its large 6×17 cm transparency film frame produces a true 3:1 panoramic image, allowing broad wildflower landscapes to be documented across valleys, hillsides and mountain foothills in a single sweeping frame. Each 6×17 cm transparency contains nearly eleven times the image area of a 35mm frame and approximately 2.8 times the visible image area of a 15/70 IMAX frame.

The panoramic format was especially valuable when the scale of a bloom extended far beyond the traditional photographic frame. The galleries below organize the GX617 archive into individual landscapes and locations, allowing each panoramic collection to be viewed separately.

The galleries below represent a small curated selection from the larger Fuji GX617 panoramic archive. Additional panoramas, Field Notes and historical material will continue to be added as the archive unfolds.
