Photo camera that has aspect ratio option of 21:9 or wider?

Without having to jump up to a medium format camera, are there any cameras that offer a 21:9 aspect ratio?

So you're willing to consider film cameras then ?

Only 2 that I can think of ,  anywhere near  21:9 or better  are :

Not sure if either of these are available  new from factory anymore ;  most likely via eBay or similar sources .

Why not just snap off a few shots in a pano?

G'day Zach

I saw your post yesterday and thought "what the hell uses 21-9 format? .... must be a typo" - silly me, as it now appears that you are into some sort of pano stuff

In today's world the easiest super-wide stuff is via stitching in PP software =but= it falls down with moving subjects (like waves hitting the shoreline). To my way of thinking, it will depend upon your subject matter as to whether you need a new camera vs need to learn some techniques for pano stitching

Not these particular ones Zach ,  but  have used  one similar to the Widelux  ( and occasionally still do when I can scrape the cobwebs and fungus off ).
An antique (1895 vintage)  panorama film camera , using  similar technology and features to Widelux ,  with an aspect ratio 2.85 .
