I have the slightly later version lomography branded as the horizon perfekt. The yellow shutter speeds are still 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8, not full seconds, but the thing takes it's time rotating on the slower speed to cover the film plane. I've been able to hand hold the 1/2 second expose without too much issue if I'm steady. Only downside is the need to know how to fix it as I had to readjust the shutters at the ends of travel as after a while it'll light leak.

Nice! I cant however seeing you using that camera with a moving target unless you want that shutter dragging effect where the moving target fills the frame as it moves! For still subjects that would be a fun camera!

The instruction book for the camera states the negative size as 24 x 58 mm. I've shot perhaps 80 rolls through mine in the last 20 years and mine are also that size. At 0:50 into the video, you relate that it exposes "just over two frames of 35mm" which would be about 72mm long. Is your camera a non-standard model?

That has to do with the way I tilted the camera. It was an artistic choice but keeping it level won't do that.

Hey JP, I have a couple of old cameras you might be interested in shooting. I have a 1950s-something Anscoflex ii camera that uses 620 film, and a 1960-something Dories camera that takes 120 film. I bought the dories camera a few months ago in its original packaging - I don't think it's ever been used. I bought the anscoflex used, and I was told it works, but I haven't tried it yet. I live in Burbank, so I could meet you or drop these off, if you're interested. Great video! Loved the shots you got, particularly the one looking up at the sign with the hills in the bg.

When you were handholding the camera, I assume you were shooting at 1/125th or 1/250th. At those speeds, or slower if you tried them handheld, did you notice any odd results as a result of camera movement during the exposure, like maybe the left and right edges being more blurry because they moved more relative to the center of the lens?
@TheSlantedLens
@TheSlantedLens 3 жыл бұрын
I was very careful to only handhold at 1/250th of a second and I did not see any issues.

Great video, thanks so much for making it. I bought this camera new in around 2000 and used it a lot as i was really into the Lomography movement at the time. You seen to have the same issue as me on 50% of the shots you showed in that there is a series of lines at the top of the frame. I cannot work out if they are from the film spool mechanism or on the back of the lens marking the negatives… any ideas?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_(camera) shows the 1967 version that came between this one and the box in the video. It's really a nice concept. The rotation acts like a slow focal plane shutter consequently and it has time parallax. I'd say a tripod is more or less imperative, although, IIRC, the 1967 model came with a grip to handhold the camera. Maintaining "level" helps to prevent curved field perspective as visible in some of the shots. With the lens at infinity, the lens's nodal point is fixed and this is what is needed to prevent foreground issues. Or, take your modern full frame, put a 35 on it in vertical (portrait) orientation and mount it on a nodal slide in the nodal point. With 30% overlap, take the panorama and stitch in Photoshop (Photoshop is incredibly good at that). This does not give the "film look" but has much more control and since we can skip the film processing and scanning, it may be a lot faster too. If there is no motion in the subject that would mess with the time parallax in a panorama shot, imagine that a set of 3 or 4 portrait shots with a 24 will give you way more pixels than a single 20mm shot. Still, the Horizon is a nice camera indeed (gorizont in Russian IIRC).

I always wanted to have this camera, thanks for demoing it! Also, I faintly remember that there was another, higher quality camera with the same principle made in West Germany, but I am likely wrong, can't find anything. Anyhow, for a fun camera to shoot with, certainly different, get your hands on a Sputnik! (kind of regret selling mine) Update: The higher quality panoramic camera that I had in mind is the Noblex, from Germany, though East Germany.
