Hi, I would like to try a swing lens 35mm panoramic camera, for example one of the following models in good working condition. Since it will be my experiment, I would like to keep the budget low at about $300. But if you have a model significantly better than the listed one, I can increase my budget.

- Horizon S3 Pro or S3 U500
- Horizon 202
- Lomography versions of the above
- Noblex 135S

I'm based in San Francisco Bay area.

Seawood Photo in San Rafael has a Widelux for sale. A bit dear for a fling, though-

I have a 1972 metal Horizont camera. It works fine but does not have the special wide angle finder or the grip for the bottom. I have another that I use regularly and bought this for parts and have never needed it. I lubricated it about 6 years ago.
I would like $200 plus the shipping if you are interested.

I have a recently overhauled (including rebuilt drive wheel) Noblex 135U.

The (expensive) overhaul was performed by Bob Watkins of Noblex and Widelux service fame (Jeff Bridges has had his Widelux serviced here). More info on his services - Precision Camera Works - Noblex

This is significantly more than the first three items on your list. It has more shutter speed options than the 135S.

Let me know if this is something that would interest you and I can supply images and more details.
