The Horizont (sometimes marked in cyrillic: Горизонт) is a Russian panoramic camera, similar to the Noblex. Some 49,849 were made by KMZ from 1967-1973^[1]. The rotating 28mm f2.8 lens took 24x58mm frames on 35mm film, giving a 120° view. The viewfinder - which includes a circular spirit level^[2] - is fitted into a vertical shoe on the front, to sit on top of the camera on the user's left.

Horizon Revue and Global-H seem to be alternative names for the Horizont. The Horizon 202 is a later, updated version with an ABS body and the viewfinder built-in, centred on the top-plate.

Horizon 202

The Horizon Kompakt is similar to the Horizon 202, but finished in cream, with knob wind, where the 202 has lever wind. This is sill (2008) available.
