The 35mm Panoramic Collection

35mm Panoramic Collection: Cinematic Storytelling, Deeper Stories, Capturing Breadth and Emotion

The 35mm Panoramic Collection is an invitation to see the world through a different lens—a lens that captures expansive, panoramic vistas in the rich, analogue warmth of 35mm film. Unlike traditional panoramic cameras, the Pentax 67 MLU with a 35mm film adapter allows for an extended horizontal frame that mirrors the cinematic beauty of classic panoramic formats, while benefiting from the versatility of 35mm film.

Each image in this collection represents a deliberate journey through a wide-angle canvas, capturing vast landscapes, sweeping city views, and dramatic natural scenes in sharp, painterly detail. The unique 35mm film stock offers a range of textures and tones, allowing for a deeper exploration of colour and composition that goes beyond the traditional confines of medium format. With every click of the shutter, the Pentax 67 MLU creates an immersive, cinematic experience—one that invites the viewer to lose themselves in the moment, drawn into every nuance of the frame.

These panoramic images are more than just photographs; they are visual narratives, offering the viewer a chance to pause and absorb the full scale of the scene. The vast, open landscapes reveal stories of their own, while the carefully composed horizons emphasise the serene beauty of nature’s expanse. The Pentax 67 35mm Series reflects a deep respect for the wide-open spaces of the world—capturing them in all their glory while offering a fresh perspective on the familiar panoramic format.

This collection was captured exclusively on 35mm film using the Pentax 67 MLU camera with a custom 35mm film adapter kit, resulting in a Hasselblad Xpan look. The adaptability of this camera system allows for a greater selection of 35mm film varieties, offering an expanded artistic palette with a range of textures, colours, and contrasts that are simply unavailable in medium format film.

The scenes, shot across diverse landscapes, from rugged mountains & coastlines to open plains, each embody a different facet of the natural world, presented with stunning clarity and dynamic range. The Pentax 67’s precision and the unique 35mm film adapter create a marriage of technical expertise and artistic vision, offering a panoramic view that is as breathtaking as it is distinctive.

This collection celebrates the grand scale of panoramic photography, while embracing the versatility and rich variety of 35mm film. It’s for those who appreciate the art of film, the beauty of wide-open spaces, and the thrill of a new visual experience—crafted with care, captured on film, and designed to transport you into a cinematic world.
