Jay P.'s experience with elaborate set design and extensive lighting are key to the success of his illustrative work.
Such a cool camera design! Nowadays it's so much easier just to take several photos and stich them together but this...this is all in-camera and I really can appreciate the work to do that! Awesome!
Yeah, it is just a little different and fun to work with!
In the pre digital era, there was a time that I was considering buying this camera because I love shooting panoramas. I never did though. Nice to see it being featured now in your video.
You can still get them. Have fun with your panos!
Love seeing what you are pulling out of the archives of your office to shoot with!
Thanks Ryan! It is fun looking into the past!
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.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I have one of the older metal cameras. Great to use. Makes me look at composition very differently.
Cool. It is a nice change of pace!
What fun! Taking photos with this camera is a full-involvement experience analogous to using an audiophile turntable to play old-technology LP records. You have to do a lot of things to get the desired results. There is no computer to do it for you. BTW, Death Valley is gorgeous this time of year, isn't it? Great video, Jay P!
Thanks William. Yes, Death Valley is great in the winter!
If you want to see some great classic panoramic film photography look at the photos Jeff Bridges has been taking throughout his hollywood career on and off set...
That's cool. Thanks for sharing!
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!
Definitely better for still subjects. It might be fun to experiment with moving subjects!
I have one of these Horizon 202 cameras. I need to get it out, too. You make it look like a lot of fun - nice images!
It is a lot of fun. I shot with mine this past weekend. I picked up a second one so I can have a B&W camera and a Color camera.
Fun - back on the 80s I rented the Fuji 6x19 a few times. Also used a 35mm Widelux, similar to what you are using in this video but a more expensive Japanese camera.
That's awesome. Bet you got some great shots!
Thanks so much for this informative video! Super helpful! Just picked one up. Quick ? Why are there some lines on the upper part of the frame on your b&w frames?
It is an old camera and scratches the film. It's part of the charm.
This reminds me of the Widelux cameras I played with in the 80's! Fun shots.
Thanks Dennis! It was fun to shoot with!
You might want to try a Lubitel.
It uses 120 film as far as I can remember.
We will do that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Perspective with rotating lens is different from say XPAN. Horizon takes a bit of getting used to but I love mine.
If I remember right I think Linhoff made a real expensive one of these. Back in the 70s I drooled over Linhoff cameras.
I will have to check that out!
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.
Thanks Jasmine. That is a great offer. I will research these cameras and get back to you. It may be a while.
Great show! May I please ask, what light meter do you use in the video. Thank you.
I use an old Sekonic light meter
Lovely shots. Question. Are the horizontal lines, appearing on the photos, an issue with your particular camera or would all of them produce the same lines? Do you know? Thanks.
I believe it got some dirt in it. After cleaning it it is better.
This is so cool! Nice results!!
Have you seen the Dora Goodman 6x12 Zone they've just launched? That seems an awesome alternative but would love to see/hear more about it
We will check it out. Thanks for your comment!
I used to have one of those....wish I still had it.
You could always get another one!
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?
You are correct. Mine is the same as yours.
I dally watch your videos Sir I improve my video skill all credits goes to you love from Pakistan ❤️❤️👍👍💯 t
Great to hear. Keep on learning!
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?
We were wondering if it was some dirt. Not sure. Something to test out again.
Hi, can i ask something. Just interested in how much it costs to dev & print 35mm nowadays and if theres any good deals out there? Love your desert shots
Best thing to do is check you local lab. We used Richard Photo Lab: www.richardphotolab.com/
I get a lot of light leaks in my horizon 202 any idea what could be causing those? I have a feeling it has to do with how the camera is loaded.
I haven't had that problem. Try taping black tape around the door. Or make it an artistic look!
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).
Yep, and this one does have a hand grip that is pretty nice to use.
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?
I was very careful to only handhold at 1/250th of a second and I did not see any issues.
How about a stereo camera? I have an old one made by Hansen from the late 40s or early 50s. It takes 828 film. It was my dad's and I only shot one roll of film with it back in the 70s.
That sounds awesome. We will look into that!
@@TheSlantedLens I love your videos. I use them for my online photography class. Thanks for all you do.
Amazing photos, I would buy them
Glad you liked the images. Thanks for watching!
Keep having fun with photography !
Will do and you do too!
Great video. Please do a video with an old Kodak Brownie camera. I have one from about 1935.
We will definitely check that out!
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.
That's cool. Thanks for sharing that information!
The camera you are thinking of is the NOBLEX 135. There are various models with enhanced features. It is driven by an electric motor and is more accurate than the spring-driven Horizon.
One question, why does it look kind of blury and out of focus only on the very right side of some shots? Like on the image in 4:15, or the one next to that
That has to do with the way I tilted the camera. It was an artistic choice but keeping it level won't do that.
The slower exposure times are of yourse not 2, 4 and 8 secs but 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 sec.
OMG you just motivated me to dust off my Xpan an now I wish I didn't sell my Noblex Pro 150
Let us know how it goes!
Good Video, but now the prices for that camera will go up :)
It will be interested to see if that happens!
Jeff Bridges shoots with these apparently.
Yeah, he uses another brand. It's fun to look at his images!
@nickcarver should see this.
Thanks for watching! Have a great rest of your week!
Otto Berning Robot camera
That looks like a pretty cool camera!
Should have added - in new condition.
Yeah, this one was in great condition!
They aren't cheap anymore. Most on eBay are $300 with ridiculous shipping costs it seems every time someone does a review, the price goes through the roof
Not surprising. Hope you can find one if that is what you want!

Thanks for watching and keep on clickin!
