I bought this "Wide Pic Panoramic Lens" camera a few months back for £1 in a local charity shop. It was light, bright red and looked very easy to use, so of course I purchased it! I recently processed some film from the camera, and the results were brilliant! I'm so impressed that it works so well. If you can get your hands on one of these and like the spontaneity of film photography, I would definitely say try one out.
It even features a little in-built lens cover at the flick of a switch!

Key features:- Takes 35mm film
- No flash
- 200iso film is recommended
- "Panoramic" format (a.k.a you have very thin, long photos)

Here are my first photos from the Panoramic camera...

The camera produced a lot of red light leaks across some images, but I find these to be beautiful; I don't know whether it was the camera itself or the film I was using, but I like it!

Hi Amy, I love some of the B+W pics you took with this camera. Is using ISO 400 film with this camera as simple as loading and forgetting? The lack of a film speed selection has me worried everythings going to be underexposed since I don't have any 200. Cheers
ReplyDelete400 ISO is less likely to come out underexposed than 200. 200-800 ISO would probably be fine in this camera, depending on the light.
DeleteHi Ryan! Sorry for the late reply as I have only just seen this! 400 ISO film B+W would work great with this camera so I wouldn't worry. Me and my friends all have this little gem and you can't fault it. Just consider lighting and for best results shoot in daylight.
DeleteI have a camera identical, was given to me by a friend. I would like to know the year of manufacture. I searched the web but could not find anything. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have the same camera in black and got some very large light leaks on a few pics. I think it comes from that little window on the back door, I put some black tape over mine to see if this fixes it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Danny! Although I do kind of like the light leaks, adds a raw element to the photos.
