A cool new addition to your collection! I guess I'd have to see a regular shot of the front of that Safeway to see how much distortion is caused by the Horizon. For example, the structure does have the arch, right? I mean, that's not caused by the camera, is it?
I was always under the impression the Horizon was kinda like the old Widelux, in that it was a medium format camera. But if you're shooting Fuji Superia, I guess it's 35mm, right? Unless Fuji is marketing Superia as medium format now? So, assuming it's 35mm, how many exposures do you get to a roll of 36 exposures?

Back in the film days, I hovered over picking up one of these cameras (I was also looking at the Noblex/Widelux), but it was simply out of my budget at that time!
It's a heck of a way to get 120 degree coverage and a nice juicy negative to scan/print. I'd love to get my hands on the Horozon 205pc, or better yet the new S3Pro.
I'd say you are in for a lot of fun.
Thanks guys.
I was away for 3 days, so haven't been able to reply.
@cooltouch, yes the Safeway does have an arch, but the camera does create curves out of horizontal lines that are above and below the center.
The Horizon (all but the 205pc), and the Widelux (all but the 1500) are 35mm cameras. With a 36 frame roll, you get 21 frames.
@Clarkey, they a quite fun, and have a very unique perspective.
Good luck finding a 205pc, I read that there were maybe 24 ever produced
AFAIK, there is some debate as to whether the S3Pro is any better than the 202.

This shot shows the curved horizontal lines. The steps are actually straight.
