The Panoramic Lomographic Dream Machine

Whether you've seen them once or a million times - authentic Horizon panoramic images are quite a thing to behold. Their double-wide length encompasses everything in front of your eyes and a good deal around your head. A unique barrel-effect that cannot be duplicated by any other camera sweeps across the image - imparting to each image heart-quickening and almost intoxicating drama. These dazzling panorama jewels are created with each touch of the shutter button - as this amazing analog camera goes about its regular business. The Horizon Kompakt and Perfekt are both the only Russian panoramic cameras produced today, and the only truly affordable panoramic cameras. It's peers - the Hasselblad X-pan and the Noblex 135 cost several times the price, and can't approach the old-school detail and charming Russian touches of the Zenit factory's Horizon technicians. And it's excellent multicoated lens - much like the Lomo LC-A's own Minitar 1, yields the over-intense colors and contrast that only Russian optics can provide.

The website before you is the international online home of all things "Horizontal." Inside you'll find image galleries from around the world, hot-off-the-press tips and tricks, critical info on the best possible processing of your films, a spellbinding full history of the Horizon panoramic cameras, and fat n' juicy product shots of these sexy brothers. It's in constant development - so if you've got a banging image gallery, a hot new development lab contact, or a slamming new technique, then shoot it over to us with a quickness.
