[Del_CtrlnoAlt]

hmm been thinking... either get a Horizon Perfekt or get some Lomo to try...

Any idea how much or availability of these locally?

which model is better? heard that Lomography get rights to sell horizon and now markup to sell...

or u guys think use a fisheye on a film body better?

The horizon has a lens that is fairly more sharp, detailed and contrasty OR in other words 'look more interesting' than any Canon or Nikon fisheye lens.

I'll go for the horizon

After fiddling with a lomo for the past week, I've somewhat fallen in love with it. I'll probably get myself one and as I was browsing through the website the Horizon Perfekt and kompakt(is this how you spell it) really appealed to me, as did the frogeye. Unfortunately, the perfekt appears to be nearly a grand sing dollars; the kompakt appears to be much cheaper, but still expensive by lomo prices, at 400+SGD. That being said, it's much cheaper than a Xpan.

shove?? wah lau..so chor lor

how big are the 'holes'? for film strips there usually arent any separators. ie..1 long rectangular hole. if more squarish holes then those are for mounted slides.

hmm..what i do is i use the 35mm holder..use a software call silverfast and instead of scanning it auto mode..i scan them to size..meaning i select the size which i want to scan..which is the size of the horizon negative and scan accordingly.

haha..not sure if im making any sense.

the other way is to put it on a flatbed with a film area guide..my scanner has that..just place all the negatives in the guide..there's no holder though so your negatives may move..den jus scan loh.

I'm using the Epson 4990.
