Not only that Dan, but you have a Hasselblad Xpan with extra negative above
and below the image... print the middle strip of the 6x6 and you get a
pretty wide format... you'll have to back up to get a wide angle view into
there, but the negative area will still allow for a sharp print. My first
'real' camera is a Minolta Autocord which I still have around somewhere,
maybe I'll get it out and try it again...
