For Sale: Cameras - Panoramic - Fisheye - OM1

Posted on
  • I have a masterpiece of Russian engineering for sale the Horizon Perfekt. This panoramic camera works on a clockwork mechanism it lens sweeps 120° at varying speeds to capture awesome panoramic images (on 35mm film).

    Basically it is a Russian made Zenit re-branded by Lomography. It is in great condition and is only three or four years old and has had maybe just ten films run through it.

    It comes with a very nice leather case, three filters (UV, Neutral Density and Yellow Green), All documentation and original box from Russia plus the Lomography box (which is a little tatty).

    The only downsides is it has been stored for a year and a half so smells faintly of a charity shop, there is a very small crack in the lid of the handle (which stores the spare filters) but it doesn't effect its function. And i cant find the book it came with but to be fair the book was rubbish anyway.

    You can find more info here and specs: http://uk.shop.lomography.com/cameras/panoramic-cameras/horizon-perfekt But i have just noticed it doesn't even come with the leather case anymore.

    £240

    Next i have an Olympus OM-1 a classic and imo the best slr ever. It is the absolute perfect camera for learning on because it is purely manual and very easy to use. The OM-1 is very compact and very rugged.

    It comes with a fixed 50mm Zuiko lens with a skylight filter fitted, i will also include a macro filter which give really cool narrow DOF images and a very tatty but still protective olympus fitted case.

    The downside is that it seems to have had a knock and shows a dent where the hot-shoe adapter connects (I don't have a hot-shoe adapter so have not tested if one still fits) but i have tested the camera and it still functions well. There is a tiny bit of dust in the view finder (to be expected) and it will need a new battery.
    Apart from the dent it is in good cosmetic and working condition.

    Sold£40

    Next is a Fisheye 2 made by Lomography, info can be found here:http://uk.shop.lomography.com/cameras/fisheye-cameras/fisheye-cameras/fisheye-no-2a It has a multiple exposure and bulb settings, it has a built in flash aswell as a hot-shoe. It is in great working condition, the only thing is it doesn't come with the viewfinder (which was ridiculously inaccurate and so unnecessary anyway) and also I've replaced the flimsy rubber lens cap with a proper clip on plastic one.

    Sold£20

  • PM'd

  • that horizon is absolutely awesome.

  • dibs fisheye

  • Sorry but doyoublaze has provisional dibs on the Fisheye and the Olympus but ill let you know.

  • Also the Horizon is on hold for ExTra but ill update if whether they sell or not.
    Ill be sad to see it go but it needs a good home and i need the money.

  • How are the light seals on the OM? Have they been replaced recently / were there any light leaks on the last film?

    I can't see the ding in the photos, could you describe it?

  • 3rd (?) dibs on the Fisheye please...

  • The seal has become slightly degraded but i havn't been able to detect any leeks from it.
    The ding has been there since i bought the camera, it seems that the camera might of been dropped and landed on its hot shoe which would have taken most of the impact but has compressed the part the it screws into slightly.
    Basically the threaded part where the hot-shoe is mounted has been pushed in on one side by 1-2mm.
    Having another look the rewind crank also appears to have been impacted slightly but it still turns freely.

    Basically the camera is not tip top condition, but it still looks good, functions well and takes great photographs. I think it would suit a budding art student or similiar who can give it some much needed love.

  • Olympus and the Fisheye sold to the very nice chap; DoYouBlaze?.

    The Horizon is till available, now for £240.
