Reto Pano - 35mm Film Camera

Fun little camera

This is a fun, easy camera. I took it travelling in SE Asia with me as it is light and compact so can be carried around easily. I shot all my frames on the panorama setting and for the most part they turned out great. User error on not turning the flash on for some frames meant some shots were lost but when the flash was used it was plenty bright and gave a quirky retro feel. It is a great camera for city scapes. I used mostly Kodak Gold 200 and that came out well in bright sunlight and it held up in the heat of SE Asia. The only negative is due to its pano setting it has a wide lens which is generally really fun but you cannot tell if your fingers are in the shot so be sure to hold it on the edges as even if your fingers aren’t in the viewfinder they may creep into the final frame.

Great Value, Great Results

I purchased the Reto Pano to try out film photography and loved the results I achieved with the camera. I used Kentmere Pan 400 film and the quality of the images were even better than I expected. This is a great entry level camera which is easy to use. The Panorama mode (just black bars that give the panorama effect) are a nice little touch, which is in my opinion more than just a gimmick. The flash and the lens cover are great and add to the value for money.

Great little camera

I bought this to experiment with the panorama feature, to get more of an 'artists' eye view of the landscape. Really pleased with the results.
