I have just visited your site. Very informative. I notice that you use IR
film with the Horizon. I have never thought of that, probably because I am
based in Hong Kong and the weather is _hot_. I tried once and the film was
fogged.

Based on the technical data provided, I am going to try the Horizon. Not
sure who is selling them here though.

You have mentioned clipped on filters for the Horizon. Are they sold by the
set? Is it possible to buy them individually? What kind of filters are
available? Are, eg, your IR filters custom made?

Yes, I have just tried the Noblex. It is impossible to predict the exact
moment when exposure starts. Being used to Leicas, I find that extremely
disconcerting.

Thanks for info and best regards,
