Re: Horizon 202 Questions

[cmiller@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Curt Miller,EMW)]

Thanks to all for the responses to my questions about the Horizon.  I must
say I'm overall very satisfied with the results I get with it.  

I've looked critically at my 14" prints thus far another time and really
believe that any unsharpness I get along the top 1/8 of the image area is
probable related to some field curvature characteristic of the lens and not
a defect in my camera.  The unsharpness goes away with objects imaged at
certain distance/f-stop combinations - I'll just need to learn what they
are.  The vignetting is ever so slight and is only along the very top edge -
conceivably related to excess light hitting the print from the easel blade
during enlargement, though I've not noticed it before (I started using a 4
blade Saunders just a few months ago).  When I look at other's images on
their pages that were made with the Horizon, to the extent it is possible to
tell from a computer screen, mine stack up quite well.

Bottom line: I'm, a B&W fine art photgrapher with a fairly solid following
of customers and I've gotten two orders for fine art prints of imaged made
over the past two weeks work with the camera :-)
