The Dude is Making a New Widelux Panoramic Film Camera

Jeff Bridges, who has multiple times espoused his love of the panoramic Widelux film camera, is planning to make it easier for more people to find a love of photography the same way he did by remaking the classic camera next year and calling it the WideluxX.

“Most of the photographs I take are done with a Widelux camera. It’s a panning, still camera. I use the 35mm version. It’s got a 28mm lens that pans nearly 180 degrees. Instead of a traditional shutter, it has a slit that, as the lens pans, exposes the film,” Bridges has said.
