Camera Geekery: A new panoramic film camera on the horizon

SilvergrainClassics and the Bridges family (you know, Jeff Bridges) are teaming up to bring the world a new panoramic film camera.

Silvergrain Classics have teamed up with Jeff Bridges (yes, the Hollwod actor) and his wife to produce a new panoramic camera based on the Widelux (which Jeff Bridges is a fan of).

“The new camera will be 100% Made in Germany. We aim to revive the Widelux — but with improved quality, reliability, and a few tweaks. There isn’t an exact timetable yet, but with the four of us collaborating we have already reached the prototyping phase!” -Marwan El Mozayen

That's nice. I know there are other panoramic cameras around - Chroma do something in that line - but this does look like it'll be a good'un

Swing lens cameras are fun, I have a friend who uses one regularly, can give some funky effects with subjects moving with or against the direction of swing
