Horizon Kompakt
INTRODUCING THE HORIZON KOMPAKT This cream-colored knockout is designed for one sole purpose: dead-easy and endless panoramic snapshots! With a fixed aperture and focus, all you have to do is aim...point, and shoot! A fast setting for day and slow setting for night afford you 24-hour and indoor/outdoor access to the overwhelming joy of panoramic pleasure. If the Horizon's 60 years looks like ancient history to you young'uns, then I have some more news for you – panoramic photography as an art has been around for over 150 years! The Pan orama-afficionados around the world owe a collective “Danke” to Austria 's own Joseph Puchberger, who patented a hand-cranked panoramic camera consisting of successive Daguerreotype plates. The resulting image yielded an amazing 120 degrees of vision. Taken at its most basic functions, not a whole lot has changed since Herr Puchberger's days. It goes to show – the best ideas can truly stand the -*test*-('") of time. Lomography Microsite http://shop.lomography.com/horizon/kompakt/

I love Kompakt being fuss-free, but Perfekt is better as it can take night shots better. Both are equally heavy though.
