Multicoated OF-28P 28/2.8 glass lens
This crispy glass heart of the horizon is just as lovely as it sounds: a multi-element masterpiece that yields eye-popping color, jaw-dropping contrast, and slamming sharpness all around.
Swing-Lens Technology Cocking the Horizon's shutter charges its clockwork mechanics, and touching the shutter release sets the lens into motion. As the lens swings from side to side, a narrow vertical slit between the lens and film rotates along with it ˇV thereby progressively exposing the film as the lens moves. The film plane is curved, thereby keeping the film tight and maintaining a uniform distance from the lens.
Whisper-Quiet Clockwork Mechanics
If you've ever shot the old-school Horizon 202, then you may have heard its buzzy ˇ§little engine that couldˇ¨ clockwork engine each time a long exposure was selected. If that sound charmed your heart, then you're in for a disappointment with the Perfekt, as its motor is silky smooth and dead-quiet. That yields subtle operation when you need it ˇV such as in museums, graduation ceremonies, poetry slams, funerals, and chicken mummification rituals.
Variable Aperture Settings
From a wide open f/2.8 to a teensy-tiny f/16, you can dial in your precise aperture setting to get the optimum exposure for each shot. On the flip side, you can also control the depth of field for your own creative uses. Choose a large aperture (f/2.8) for a crispy subject against a somewhat blurred background. Nice for portraits, that is. Or, choose a small aperture (f/11 or f/16) for razor-sharpness from front to back.
Variable Shutter Settings
A blazing 1/500sec top shutter speed gets you high-speed freezes on the brightest days of the year. A shhhh-looowww ½ second brings partially-lit nights and gloomy indoors into full, glowing brilliance. And all the settings in between (1/250, 1/125. 1/60, 1/8, ¼) are just perfect for light conditions that areˇKin between.
Built-in Pro Accessories
This little touches make your Perfekt an absolute joy. The tripod thread and cable release thread, when used together, give you the most perfect shake-free long exposures that folks have ever seen. The bubble-eye level, available through the viewfinder, allows you to perfectly place the ˇ§horizonˇ¨ of each photograph. And the fat handgrip gives you a slow-steady hand for those low-light situations when a tripod just ain't proper.
Battery-Free Operation
Everything that your horizon does, from the shutter firing to that little lens moving left to right is powered by a classic clockwork motor. If you and a buddy trek to Outer Mongolia , and his megapixel machine kicks the bucket for lack of power, then you'll be able to fill the empty slots of his travel album with your unending Horizon snaps!
Uses all varieties of 35mm film That's right - all the 35mm color negative, black & white, slide, infrared, ultraviolet, and anything that we haven't heard of can be loaded into your Horizon's greedy little gullet.
