This Horizon 35 mm camera is a swing-lens panoramic camera panning through to 120 degrees, using a fixed MC 28 mm f/2.8 multi-coated lens. The lens with aperture scale of f/2.8-16 has a focus range from 0.5 m (1.6 feet) to infinity. The Horizon 202 model can be loaded with 35 mm perforated film roll to give 24 mm by 58 mm frame sizes, totalling 22 frames per roll of film of length 1.6 m (5.4 feet). Shutter and aperture speed levers on the top panel just below the viewfinder indicate the values set for shutter and aperture speeds. Low exposure times on the Horizon 202 can be set at 1/2 s, 1/4 s, and 1/8 s and high values are set at 1/60 s, 1/125 s, and 1/250 s. A built-in optical viewfinder with 0.4x magnification, located above the lens on the same axial plane, helps eliminate parallax on this Horizon 35 mm camera, showing a 110-degree field of view. A reflected image of the bubble level built in above the viewfinder alerts the user about camera level. The Horizon 35 mm camera also features a metallic shutter release, a self-resetting film counter, an analogueue memory storage device, a neck-strap eyelet, a film rewind knob, and a programme selection switch. This swing-lens panoramic camera weighs 900 g (2 lbs) and is 11.8 cm wide by 14.6 cm high by 7.3 cm deep (4.6 inches by 5.8 inches by 2.9 inches).
