To the group,

I saw this Chinese panoramic camera at a recent NYC camrea show. It is just 
like a scaled up Horizon. There is a little grab bar at the lens slit; you 
"cock" the lens by dragging/rotating the drum 180* from one side to the 
other. It was $1000US and I liked the look of it. But, as I remember, it 
only had two shutter speeds, 1/125 and 1/60, a real turn off!

If I see the camera again, I will make notes and report.
