joe- many years ago while bopp schwalberg was
alive and working for leitz in wetzlar i was able to get an older f.3.5
elmar with its focusing mount installed on one of my panophics as a personal
job, paid. collector in japan owns it now. the split element focusing on
factory installed  lens left a lot to be desired. simon nathan

I owned a Horizon 202 before buying the Noblex 150F.  I loved the camera,
its ease of operation and its viewfinder with level and shutter speeds.
What I didn't like was the soft lens.  It was ok in a 10" print but at 20 or
30 inches is was just not what I wanted.   I have heard before just how
fantastic that lens is but the one I owned wasn't so hot.  So, I opted for
the more expensive and larger film of the Noblex 150F.  I am not sorry that
I did.  I gave the Horizon to my teenage photo enthusiast nephew and he
loves it.
