NOTES:
  "The Russian-made Horizont camera, shown at the Photokina exhibition
  in 1966, was similar in appearance to the Widelux. Its f/2.8, wide-
  angle lens had an adjustable aperature, and three traversing speeds -
  1/30, 1/60. and 1/125 second-were possible. The 0.9x2.3-in. (24x58mm)
  pictures were taken on standard 35-mm film in conventional cassettes,
  and the horizontal angle of view was 120°. A wide-angle, direct-
  vision finder showed the full angle of view." (Coe, 1978).
