Reto Pano - 35mm Film Camera

I chuck this in my bag when I'm out and about, it's very light. I wouldn't use it for anything special (image quality particularly at the edge of the frame isn't great) but it does well for general every day-to-day memories.

Flash is great, fills nicely. Winding mechanism is very fragile and feels it. Beware of fingers creeping into shots, even when you're sure they're well enough out of the way, and of getting your composition correct - it's more difficult to make minor image rotations and crops in post!

Sample images shot on Kodak Gold, and developed by AW.

The first Reto Pano I received had a fault with the flash, this was returned and was quickly put right by Analogue Wonderland with another sample, this 2nd sample is fine. It's very compact and light and quite well made, I do like the panoramic/full frame option. Don't expect high end SLR build for £35, but with good lighting conditions and a 400 ISO film, result's are reasonable. The image quality drops away in the corners of the frame, but is ok in the centre of the frame, but that's to be expected. I also have 7 other film cameras including a Lomo Apparet, and I feel the Reto Pano gives slightly better quality images than the Lomo. Watch your fingers straying in to the corners of the frame, with the 22mm wide angle lens you have to keep fingers well back, if you've got fingers like bananas maybe look elsewhere. Overall I'm pleased although I've only managed to put one film through the Reto Pano so far, I would give it a cautious thumbs up!

Great entry level wide angle lens for those at the beginning of their 35mm film journey. Not quite as crisp as I'd like, especially at the edges which can end up slightly distorted - even at great distances. But in general, a great camera that I will be using again and again.

What a wee gem this camera has been since receiving it!
I had acquired it for the sole purpose of being able to quickly swap between a fixed prime lens & this ultra wide wee belter!
Taken it to Silvertsone & my wedding this year - full developments are pending, but the experience of using it is truly worth the price of admission!
Feels sturdily made while utilising lots of plastic parts.
Just be careful to keep your finger tips WELL AWAY from the lens… this ultra wide angle has caught me off guard while the majority of my first development 🤣📸

really good point and shoot camera - especially like the transparent design and the built in lens cover. really enjoy having the option of the pano - although will need to crop my scans after having my rolls developed.
