Re: Horizont Camera Questions

[Daniele Noris <danielenoris@xxxxxxxxx>]

Premised:
Horizont  one camera of Russian production. Like all the products of
Russian origin, the highest quality not is. The problem (also in types of
cameras) is that the Russians (or otherstates in the outskirtses) are not
in a position to guaranteeing one constant quality on their products.
Therefore I have noticed that some problems are noticed in some models,
while other models have other problems. The Horizont I only use it for
amusements and not for job (in fact I do not want to buy a noblex that
creed is better)

With my machine I have not never had problems of scratches on the photogram
(even if have already felt from someone of this problem)

I do not have particular problems to rewind the film

The quality of the objective  painful (the objective  approximately a
28mm). I have some blowups of taken photo (width of 70cm) but they are much
soft, insufficient defined and to the extremities it becomes worse.
A my customer has of the problems of airframe of the negatives. Also my
camera begins to having some problem...

I hope to be of aiding you... Perhaps you ask also Willem, knows also he!

Ciao
