Panon Cameraco. Widelux F7

{"overview":"The Panon Widelux F7 is a 35mm panoramic film camera that uses a swing-lens mechanism to expose a wide horizontal frame across standard 35mm stock. Produced by Panon Camera Co. Because the swing-lens mechanism is the camera's defining feature, condition of the drum and shutter has an outsized effect on what an example sells for, and clean, fully-working bodies tend to fetch the upper end of that range.","buying_guide":"The most important checks are the swing-lens drum and its three shutter speeds: listen for even travel across the arc and inspect the resulting frame for banding, which usually indicates a tired drum spring or dragging shutter. Also check the viewfinder, the film transport (panoramic frames advance further than a standard 35mm frame) and the body for dents that could bind the rotating lens.
