Panon Cameraco. Widelux F6B
The Widelux F6B is a 35mm panoramic film camera made by Panon Camera Co. of Japan. It uses a swing-lens mechanism to expose a wide aspect-ratio frame across standard 35mm film.
Sales data is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2004 reached £478, which gives only a wholesale saleroom reference rather than a current retail value. With just one data point, the Widelux F6B's worth in today's 2026 market cannot be reliably stated, and what the camera sells for can vary widely based on shutter condition and cosmetic state.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Widelux F6B worth today?
Public UK auction data is limited to a single 2004 hammer result of £478, so a reliable current value cannot be quoted; condition and working order of the swing-lens mechanism heavily influence the price one sells for.
How much does a Widelux F6B sell for at auction?
The only verified UK saleroom hammer price on record is £478 from 2004, which reflects wholesale auction level rather than dealer retail.
What should I check before buying one?
Confirm the swing-lens travels smoothly at all speeds, inspect the body and viewfinder for damage, and factor in that specialist servicing options are scarce.
