Perhaps the oddest camera in my collection (of about 30 last count) is the Lomographic Society's Horizon Kompakt. It's a clockwork driven 35mm panoramic swing lens camera. The lens a 28mm f/8 lens swings around exposing a stretch of film about twice that of a normal 35mm exposure, for some, frankly, astounding images.





Just a couple of shots.

really cool looking pics and even cooler sounding camera. where and how did you end up with it?

Thanks it's a really neat/fun camera to use (the swing lens is powered by a clockwork motor, no batteries needed). The camera is available through the Lomography Society (http://www.lomography.com/), I won it in a draw a few months back and it ended up getting tucked away still boxed. As I was looking for something else, I happened across the camera and took it out for it's first use.

I've seen one like that before. Back in 6th grade, they took a photo with one like it of my rather large class.  Great shots !

wow, would love to see more of these  *hail*

Great shots and lens. It reminds me of a inverted fisheye lens.
