Here are a couple shots from my Horizon S3 Pro. I'm not sure about it yet so I'll give it a couple more rolls.

Not bad. Color looks good. Sharpness looks a little lacking, but it's digitized so it's really hard to tell. Less curvature than I would expect. It might just be a keeper, Brad. Cheesy
I'm holding out for a Seitz Round Shot. :2yippee:

Love the second shot, the first is just coming thru as an X since I'm at work.  Made me instantly think of the area where my parents grew up.  Googled Germania and found out it's not that far from where they grew up.  My grandparents were born in the Ridgway/Kane area and my parents grew up near Tionesta, West Hickory to be exact.  Probably have long lost relatives near you.

Nice! Very little distortion.

My old father always wanted to use a panoramic camera. I don't really feel the calling, but your results look promising.

What size of negative do you get from these?

Real nice I have been looking at the 120 version of one of those. How were those scanned or printed? that may be part of what you don't like.

 Let me play with one send me the file and I will see what I can do.

Here is what I did from your little file.

Glenn....Yes I think it's a keeper! There might be some camera movement. I'm having a hard time locking the camera to the tripod.

Larry...They are scanned negs. What did you do?

Julio1fer....The negative is 24x58mm. There is a bubble level built into the camera. Keep the bubble in the center & the horizon should be level.

Brian...that pretty wild about your parents & grandparents! Were they in the lumbering business?

John...Germania is on the way to my house from were you stay. Looking forward to June!

Brad

My grandfather was in the oil business, worked for Keystone Oil all his life after WWI.  Kept the family fed and clothed during the Depression.  My great-great-grandfather left Northumberland/Berks County around 1840 and somehow the name changed from Rebuck to Raybuck, my mother's name.  My ancestors the Rebuck, formerly Reboch, formerly Rehboch immigrated from Germany thru Philadelphia in 1750 during the Pennsylvania Dutch immigration.  There's actually a village (or at least a Post Office) named Rebuck, PA in Northhampton County.

Brad I bumped up the contrast a little lightened some shadows and applied a little sharpening.
