Review Summary
The Lomographic Society has a new favourite Russian godchild, so to speak, an enigmatic technological miracle and a worthy successor to the classic Lomo LC-A camera. The newcomer is the 100% hipshot-compatible Horizon Kompakt Panorama camera from Krasnogorsk, near Moscow. Its glass swing-lens pans a full 120° from left to right as soon as you press the (exposure release) button. The Horizon image is then magnificently captured across an e-x-t-r-a-w-i-d-e 58mm of film - almost the width of two "normal" 35mm frames. Mind you, this is still using the standard, easy-to-find 35mm film that we all know and love. High resolution panoramic shots of people and space, skylines and broad vistas are captured seamlessly in striking clarity and regal colours. A Long-time exposure setting enables you to use the Horizon Kompakt even at night or in other adverse light situations yielding breathtaking photos without the need of a tripod .
The Horizon is the only panorama-shot camera in the world that lends itself to daring experimentation with the moving image. Panorama Lomography leaves everything open while capturing the whole lot.
Now you can take a nice piccy of that beautiful new cosy kitchen corner bench complete with Granny, Uncle Abe and little Bobby, or the 10 winning cows at a livestock auction in Leicester, all your bawling colleagues from that match against Dynamo Moscow, or even the Presbyterian women's choir from North Point in the finest of Chinese New Year's garb.
