The Pinoramic 120 camera combined lensless imaging and panoramic format with the finest in camera making craft and the convenience of roll film. The Pinoramic 120 camera design featured vacuum and pressure laminated hardwood construction for superior strength, stability and user-friendly light weight. The cameras were last produced in 2007.

• Uses standard 120 roll film to produce a 6 cm by 12 cm image which covers a horizontal field of view of 120 degrees.
• The laminated front and back body panels of curly mahogany are complimented by custom brass hardware designed for this camera. The latch mechanism echos the knob, shutter nipple and red window forms.
• The panoramic format means that the film inside the camera is wound around a curved film plane with the pinhole at its center.
• The effective focal length of the pinhole is 60 mm and its effective aperture is f/200. Bright daylight exposure with 100 ASA film is about 1 second.
• A simple twist of the latch lever located in the middle of the camera back is all that’s needed to remove the back for access to the film compartment.
• Film loading is made easy with the all Tiltload System.
• The body incorporates a standard 1/4-20 mount socket for use with a tripod but the Pinoramic 120 is also quite effective when you place it right in the middle of the action.

Whether it be nestled among the silver and glassware on the dinner table or staking out a cat's eye view among the garden flowers, this camera loves to play close to its subjects. The nearly infinite depth-of-field means that the nearest blade of grass and the most distant cloud will be rendered with equal emphasis.

To make an exposure, you simply attach the shutter hose and bulb to the shutter nipple located in the center of the camera. With virtually no opportunity for camera shake resulting from tripping the shutter, you can reserve your “moving camera technique” for the times when you intend to use it.
