B&W 1960's Panoramic camera

[Oj9400]

I've been wanting to experiment with panoramic images (taken in one go- not stitched) ever since I saw someone use a Hasselblad X-pan, unfortunately its well above my budget, so I bought a Horizont Panoramic Camera instead.


Shot on Kodak BW400CN, this is was the first test roll shot around Leamington Spa over Christmas. So far I've been very happy with it.

Hi OJ, you've done pretty well here. I think it's quite hard to compose for panoramic formats, but I really like Number 4 and the last one. The first of the verticals is pretty good too; normally I reckon vertical panos don't work too well, too much sky etc (as in the second vertical), but the roof of Royal Priors makes the top half interesting.

How many shots do you get to a roll?

Thing that jumps at me is the distortion, its really well controlled, that second from the last is straight at the edges where you'd expect it to be all over the gaff.
There is distortion, but in the middle where you don't notice it too much, a bulb, but generally its quite good for a WA pano.
I expect that thing will make some nice scapes
