BeerPAN - A 35mm Panoramic SLR In a attempt to make 35mm panoramic photography attainable - a new camera emerges.

Got my eye on this project...and maaaaybe some cash too.

I will always welcome more accessible options to #panoramic #filmphotography. The access to the ETRS lineup also may enable more night work than I was previously able to manage due to the ability to mount faster lenses than f/4.

Thank you for the kind words-- I'm always happy to hear when people get something out of my work.

A moped rider drives down a road, flanked forwards and backwards by large cars.  The swing-lens of the camera has created a slight blur on the vehicle, while the outer cars appear sharp.

Selective motion blur on a moped caused by the tracking of a swing-lens turret. An interesting effect if nothing else (when compared to the sharply caught cars).

A construction worker in a high-viz vest walks down a sidewalk past a set of construction barriers, one of which has a small diamond window cut in it.  In the distance, another group of people is barely visible, as are a mid- and high-rise building.

That's going to be an annoying, though hopefully not prohibitively expensive repair. In the meantime, I will be trying to use the swing-lens cameras and R1 more so I can work on a comparison piece.

Life and lemons and all of that! Hoping the cold breaks soon-- I'm not risking that again! (2/2)

The last few images have been a bit uninspiring, and unfortunately I'm currently at the end of my backlog-- which is wild, because it felt very deep not too long ago.

Unfortunately the weather is too cold for my equipment-- I actually even jammed one of my TX-1s a while back.(1/2)

Another test photo, this time with the Ricoh R1. This has a much shorter panoramic mode, so it's a bit awkward for me.

Many thanks. Panoramas are wide, but they can also be deep. I like the sense of layers receding into the background here.

They are wonderful and in many ways underappreciated cameras (though you would not know it from their price).

I hope you are also enjoying the city and its opportunities, if not its currently too-cold-for-old-cameras weather.

Much to do about snowfall in NYC.

Taken as a test run of KONO Color 400. The muted colors suit the winter cityscape very well.

So on a completely unrelated note, if you live in #nyc and know of any fun in-person #filmphotography clubs or groups, hit me up. Would be fun to chat some.

I didn't think all that much of Meetup a decade ago when I first tried it, but I did find a #filmphotography group in Seattle that I met with once or twice that was alright.

But now, in 2026, the app experience is *so* bad (auto-signups for groups, awful search, ads) that it almost beggars belief.

I've embarked on a quest to learn to use the gamut of 135 panoramic cameras. This is one of my first with the Panon Widelux.

Safety first among store workers.
