35 mm swing-lens panoramic
Year of manufacture / Country:
1970, USSR
Serial number:

Features:
when the shutter button is pressed, a drum carrying the lens is rotating from left to right. Inside the camera through a small slit on the back of the drum, the captured image is projected on the film, which in turn also sits on a curved carrier. By varying the width of the slit, the time each segment of film is exposed to light is changed. With this trick, different shutter speeds can be achieved without changing the rotating speed of the drum. The entire mechanism is powered by a spring. The focus of the lens is fixed on infinity, when stopped down to aperture 16, all objects from about 1 meter onwards will be pictured sharp. The viewfinder is removable and fits into a clip on the front of the camera. The dimensions of the clip are the same as the clip for attaching a flash unit. The correct position of the apparatus - strictly along the horizon, can be obtained using a bubble level visible in the viewfinder's field of view.
