Disposible Panoramic Camera?

[Philadisney]

is there such a thing? anyone have an idea where i could find one? thank you in advance!

I know that Kodak used to make a film disposable in their advantix line that used their APS system which allowed you to take three diffrent styles of shots and one was panoramic, I dont know if they still make them but that was the only one that I ever came across that had a panoramic that was disposable

Out of stock, but it gives you a start for looking......

For $15 you can get this Kodak with a preview LCD screen. Load it with Advantix Film ($12.99 for a 3-pack), and shoot in three modes (Panoramic being one).

I've never used a Panormaic disposable, but I have a suspicion that they're just cropping the film the exact same way the Advantix does.

The APS camera's panoramic mode was just a normal 3:2 frame photo with the top and bottom cropped off, with a bigger print made.

I've got an APS scanner and all the photos are the same on the negative, it's just how they're printed that makes them normal, square, or panoramic.

The film equivalent of digital zoom, gotta love it. LOL

Do you know if the "Panoramic" one-time use cameras are doing the same? I assume they are. I can't see them developing new film for one purpose in a disposable...

IMO, if you'll use it a few times, get the real camera. If you know you'll only use it once (ever), then it's ok. Disposable cameras are "usually" a waste of money, and a drain on the environment (surprisingly few get recycled). Often, a cheap "real" camera will cost less in the long run. But if there is no "long run", then go for it.

I'm pretty sure they're doing the same thing. Technically, the disposable cameras could use an anamorphic lens to vertically stretch a, say, 3:1 or 4:1 (or whatever those cameras are) image to a standard 3:2 35mm film negative, but that would require a corresponding anamorphic lens on the printing side, which I suspect is extremely unlikely... but I'm pretty out of touch with that goes on on that side of the counter.

Panoramic 35mm cameras also do nothing more than cover up thin strips at the top and the bottom of the negative inside the camera, and provide an elongated view in the viewfinder to match. The lens is ordinary.

You can take an ordinary camera and make it easier to frame a picture for later panoramic printing by putting thin strips of non-transparent tape over the top and bottom edges of the viewfinder, on the front side of the camera. But the photofinishing service won't make long panoramic prints for you unless you give them special written instructions because the negative won't be visibly masked as panoramic. Putting tape over the camera lens will not work.
