KMZ Horizont "Горизонт" [camera]

Recently I'm suffering from a lack of my Lumix G2, so I decided to test one of my newest cameras: KMZ Horizont. What is so special about this one? It takes panoramic pictures with moving (!) lens. Also film isn't placed flat, but arc-shaped.

Industar-69 28 mm 1:2.8 [M39]

Have you ever heard about Chaika cameras? I simply adore them! They're small analogue compact cameras that take 1/2 of full frame photos (type 135 film). I've collected few models and once I got a bonus - a single Industar-69 lens. That's right! Chaika had interchangeable lenses. Unfortunately I've never seen anything, but those Industars.

Vivitar 28 mm 1:2.8 MC Close Focus Wide Angle [OM]

It is a beautiful sunny day today. What's more, I couldn't stand noise in my apartment - my neighbour is having some major repairs done. So I took my Vivitar for a walk in the fields.

I remember I rather gave up on this lens. Well, it's nothing pretty special. Focal length 28 mm and aperture 2.8 doesn't make it unusual in any way. I got it with my Olympus OM-10 and used it with that camera as wide angle lens only. But attached to a Micro Four Thirds it gives you eq. of 56 mm @135 type.
As I checked out some online offers, it turns out it's a rather cheap and common lens. Close-up gives you more opportunities to use it. Take a closer look at snaps below.

Vivitar 28/2.8 is really convincing lens for field photography, close-ups and macro shots.
