When I first saw it reviewed in a magazine - some time in the mid 70's 
perhaps - I think it was 30 advise getting for the Horizon (or perhaps a 
Noblex if I was feeling rich.) My Horizon is still working after some 
pretty careless handling and a few thousand exposures. Not a perfect 
camera but great value - if it fell to pieces tomorrow I'd feel I'd had my 
money's worth and almost certainly get another.
