The Horizon 203 Panoramic Camera is a swing-lens panoramic camera that takes in a 120- degree field of view with its sharp, well-corrected 28mm f/2.8 lens. It uses standard 35mm film and produces twenty-three 24x58mm images on a 36-exposure roll. Low and High panning speeds plus three focal plane slit widths provide exposure times of 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 second (Low), and 1/60, 1/125 , 1/250 and 1/500 second (High).
A built-in optical viewfinder shows a 110-degree field of view, as well as a reflected image of the top-mounted horizontal bubble level (which is also visible from the top of the body).

Advantages of the camera: - the lens with high resolution rotates during taking within the pan angle and ensures an excellent quality of image across the whole frame field. It takes place at the expense of absence of an inevitable optical distorsion which may be possible during the analogous taking when using wide angle lenses;
- to have the increased exposure time range from 1 up to 1/250sec, what may be better for a photographer?! Durable exposure times allow shooting under the conditions of low illumination and at night. One may have an interesting picture taking a moving object by day;
- the optical viewfinder gives the possibility to define accurately the limits of the taken object. The correct position of he panoramic camera is controlled by means of the air bubble seen in the field of view of the viewfinder. Would you like to let your imagination run away? Shift the bubble up or down you will have an unusual special effect;
- the body of the camera is light, it is strongly built and highly ergonomic. It was designed in such a way that one could easily hold it under the various taking conditions.
