Really great video, getting straight to the point with great useful advice! Thank you very much

[@indextron2388]

This is hands down the best video on the Horizon I've seen. If possible could you make a video or post an image of how the tape trick / flocking Is done?

[@skaterat321]

Could you do a demonstration video on the tape trick?

[@bunsenmedia4336]

SECONDED THIS!! I'm trying it myself rn but I'm fairly certain I f'd it up lol

[@milsmalls]

@@bunsenmedia4336 did you ever attempt to do the focus mod tape trick?

[@scottbecker4474]

@@milsmallsI have done the tape trick, I had UHMW tape that was the perfect thickness. Brought the focus distance to about 15 feet, which was perfect

[@LarsDahlin]

Thanks for the tape tip. Have to try it before my next film!

[@jovandevijver9400]

Thanks for the tip of using tape for closer focusing! I'm going to try it immediately, so the camera will become more versatile.

Good Video, as I to have an Horizon as it is called the Horizont 35 and my model dates back from 1968 which I look up on a Russian/English Camera web site that the Serial Number of the older models are the first 2 numbers of the year that it was made, Kinda like the Nikon F/F2 bodies. As I took my camera to Japan, as yes I got 2nd looks, but the lens was sharp as I shot 200 & 400 ISO film, and the lens on my model is very much Contrasty, and yes I did see my fingers on some shots as I forgot to bring the handle. The format of our Horizon is 26mm x 120mm in which it the same on the X-Pan as for the Widelux that it is 26mm x 140mm much wider. Also had to make sure that the Parallax is level so I always look at the viewfinder in which it has the Bubble level on the top of the viewer... Also Was that a BART Train when riding when you took this shot? - Thanks for the video.....

Definitely the best horizon video Ive seen. I own a Perfekt. It would be nice to make a video about this one also. Cheers

Super helpful, subbed

That tape trick is amazing! That blurry subject problem was keeping me away from this camera. Close subjects is definitely what wide apertures are for in the horizon. Lomography doesn't appear to have it on their site anymore. Also, is the perfekt just as good?

[@madscienti11]

I've used some copper tape that has 0.22mm thickness, that's working well, and in my second camera I'm currently trying standard 3M electrical tape with 0.18mm thickness. I think aluminium tape would work well too!

[@filippielesiak8628]

@@madscienti11 So if I will put 0,22mm tape on rails and shoot at F8 (2m-in) - so with tape it will be - something around 1m to infinity ? and f16 from 1m without tape - to ? :)

[@madscienti11]

@@filippielesiak8628 The default is as you said, f/8 gives you 2.6m to ∞. With the 0.2mm tape, you'd get a range of 1.5m to 18m at f/8 and 1.1m to ∞ at f/16. Without the tape, you get about 1.5m to ∞ at f/16.

[@janulmann3232]

​@@madscienti11could you name all the minimum/maximum distances in relation to the f stops? Sadly, this information seems lost, because nearly all of the links don't work anymore. Thanks!

Can someone tell me which Horizon is worth buying? Money is not an issue, I just want the best one. There’s the 202, the S3 Pro, and the Perfekt. Which one is best?

[@janulmann3232]

I am not an expert on this, but I have the horizon 202 and it performs very well - it's very sharp and on my first roll hasn't had a lot of light streaks - maybe on 1 or 2 frames.. The horizon s3 pro seems to be newer and has an addition of 2 shutter speeds, which comes in handy (these are 1 second and 1/30 second - the others are the same as on the horizon 202). I find that the horizon 202 looks a bit better but this is personal preference. The horizon perfekt in comparison with the 202 has one additional shutter speed (1/500 second) and like the s3 pro has a more modern design compared to the 202. All models seem to be very similar to each other so you can't go wrong with either of them:)

wow...
