I was quite surprised by the "distortion" evident in the photo. I'm not
sure why it is except that I suspect it's caused by the varying
magnification as the distance to the subject varies. I think this
camera exposes a slit as it sweeps across the image. This sample
doesn't show that marked degree of distortion, (my guess) is probably
because the subject is further away.

Monday afternoon, the FedEx guy brought me an awesome gift from a friend and
fellow photographer. It was a Horizon 202, a Russian-made panoramic camera
that uses a rotating lens to capture a very wide view.
The day was already fading, but I couldn't wait to try it, so I popped in a
roll of Ilford Delta 3200 film and photographed this house in my
neighborhood.
