Re: Panoramic Camera Suggestions

2002-03-07 by byronbulb

My sister used to live in Russia and she broughtme a "Gorizont" when
she moved back to the states. It's a pretty cool little camera - it
shoots 
double-sized frames on 35mm to make long panoramic negatives. 

Quality is rather good, I think. (Mine is the old-style metal
body,can't speak for the new-style plastic models)

Mine cost about $200 in Moscow, and a friend recently bought one on
ebay for around $275 (though it was apparently slightly
malfunctioning)  so these should be rather affordable.

I do think the lens could stand to be more contrasty - panoramas I
took with it on a recent trip to Italy were disappointing in that
department, tho pretty nice in others :)
