What it is
{"overview":"The Panon Widelux is a hand-held panoramic film camera that uses a swing-lens mechanism to expose a wide horizontal frame across 35mm film. Produced by Panon Camera Co. Buyers tracking the price of a Widelux in 2026 should treat this figure as historical context only — it is a wholesale auction-hammer level, not a retail asking price, and current values for clean working examples are likely to differ.","buying_guide":"The swing-lens mechanism is the critical area to inspect: listen for smooth travel across all shutter speeds, as banding or uneven exposure across the frame indicates a tired drum or spring. Check the lens for haze and the body for light seal deterioration, and confirm film advance and frame spacing are consistent.

Questions
Why is the Widelux priced differently from a standard 35mm camera?
The Widelux is a swing-lens panoramic camera, a specialist format with far smaller production numbers than mainstream 35mm bodies, which is the main reason its value and price behaviour differ from conventional cameras.
