About FT-2 and Horizont

This is a group of all that own or borrow and use Horizont or FT-2 russian panoramic camera from the KMZ, the Krasnogorsky Mechanichesky Zavod factory. There are already groups using the more recent Horizon cameras, so I wanted to create this group about the old version. Here users can post their photos and post tips and advices about the old Horizont (1966-1973) that can have different problems and qualities than the recent versions.
I include the FT-2 (Fotoapparat Tokareva 1958-1965) also, since I have one and that version is the previous production line that led to the more modern Horizont and Horizon cameras. But it is not easy to find, nor to use, it seems and it has a longer panorama frame 24 x 110 mm vs 24 x 58 mm on later Horizont and Horizon cameras.

Oh, and I almost forgot, post your best photos here made with the FT or the Horizont, so everyone can see :-)
