SilverBridges WideluxX F10

22 Apr 2026 · Camera News

If you've been quietly hoping someone would bring the swing-lens panoramic format back properly, this is your signal to pay attention — the WideluxX F10 is past the vaporware stage with working prototypes now in photographers' hands and a production run in motion. Swing-lens cameras occupy a genuinely unique niche: no stitching, no distortion artifacts, just optically rendered wide panoramas on a single frame of 35mm — something no digital workflow replicates cleanly. Whether SilverBridges can nail the build quality that made the original Widelux a cult object remains the real question, but this is the most credible step yet toward finding out.

A fully mechanical swing-lens panoramic camera shipping in late 2026 for $4,400 is either your next obsession or completely irrelevant to your work, and there's no middle ground. The F10 captures 24x58mm frames on standard 35mm stock, giving you 21 shots per roll at 140 degrees of coverage. No batteries, no plastic, 880 grams of intent. The swing-lens format is genuinely unlike anything else shooting today — the lens physically rotates across the film plane, which produces that curved-horizon panoramic character you cannot fake in post. If you shoot editorial, portraiture, or landscape work on film, this is the only new camera that does this. The catch: you're committing $4,400 now for something that ships in roughly 18 months, from a first production run on a revived format. Worth watching. Not worth rushing.
