Panon Cameraco. Widelux 1500

The Panon Widelux 1500 is a panoramic film camera made by the Japanese maker Panon Camera Co., using a swing-lens mechanism to capture a wide horizontal field on roll film. It sits in the specialist panoramic category rather than the general 35mm or medium-format market, and was sold to photographers seeking ultra-wide coverage in a single frame.

Sales evidence for the Widelux 1500 is thin, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £1,125 in November 2022, so today any value estimate must be treated as indicative rather than a settled market price. At saleroom level this places the model firmly in the specialist collector tier, where condition and working swing-lens mechanism heavily influence what a clean example sells for.
