The Lomography Bel-Air is one of the most exciting film photography products to be released in the past couple of years. And today, the company has announced an interesting addition to the Bel-Air system. To refresh your memory, the Bel-Air is a medium format (120) camera system. It can shoot a variety of different formats including the very interesting 6×12. But now, it can also shoot 35mm film with a specific back.

Unlike many other medium format interchangeable lens cameras, you can’t put a dark slide in the back–which means that changing backs mid-roll is pointless. But that’s not the selling point of this back. Instead, it encourages you to shoot panoramic images across 12 exposures at a time.

It’s available now for $69. We’ve got a couple of sample images available after the jump.
