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 :) -Charley --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@y..., THOMAS MOORE <tmoore306@m...> wrote: > This may be off the subject, but I'm contemplating the purchase of a > panoramic camera.
