RE: Horizon 202

You're not unlucky, the most of the models does get a trouble (advance as
yours, rotating irregular, risk of broken pieces, etc...=
I may consider (saddly) Horizon new model as a camera toy.
Noblex 35 & 120 Format, apx.150 Degrees Of Vision  heve to stay on
consideration.
also Widelux, Al-Vista are strong values But I saw slides made with a second
hand Widelux and zones bars was truly visible...
Have a look to :

repport and Versus widelus and Noblex

Noblex factory in Dresde (Ex-east Germany)

I was in Kiev two weeks ago and did not found any horizon. Horizon are only
available in Moskow camera shops
In Ukraine, it is very easy to find Kiev88 models (Hasselblad 1000's copy)
for approx US$ 100 - 150
