Just thought I'd let you see the results of my first roll of film through my new toy. A 1974 Widelux F7 swing lens panoramic camera. The lens actually rotates whilst taking the shot.
Hope you like the results.
Oh!, I had the image scanned and then turned it into a quadtone image in photoshop.

| Cool. Does it take regular size film or a different type? |

Bought it from a friend in Japan for a very good price, but I wouldn't like to give much more info than that on the web, sorry.
It uses standard 35mm film and gets 20 frames out of a normal 36 exposure roll. When you wind on the frame, it tensions a spring, which as you press the shutter swings the lens from left to right exposing a tiny slot of the film as it goes. Amazing to watch.

What angle of view are we looking at there?
There's one of these cameras sitting in the camera store I go to, it's been there and absolute age...
Cheers, Me. |
