<<Hi out there!



I have 2 major problems with my camera:



1. The left side of the picture is soft, just like out of focus, up to

the middle.

The right side is OK.

2. There is a blue/purple line on color film on the bottom of the

picture - across

all the frame, 1 mm thick. Why the hell is that???



Any cure?



thanks,



Norbert


>>> I bought a Horizon 202 about two months ago.  I was disappointed when my
first roll of film came out with the right side out of focus.  It turned out
that I wasn't loading the film correctly.  It has to go under the bottom
roller on the left side of the film cylinder.  Since it is exposing reversed
on the film, that was why the right edge was out of focus - the film was not
being held flat against the cylinder.

As to the mark, it sounds like scratching.  Feel the cylinder very carefully
for any grit, burrs, etc.

All in all, I am now quite pleased with my Horizon.
