Jupiter Horizont

The Horizont is a Soviet 35mm panoramic swing-lens camera, introduced in the late 1960s. It uses a rotating lens drum to expose a wide negative — roughly 24×58mm — across standard 35mm film, giving an angle of view much greater than a conventional rectilinear lens of comparable focal length.

Hammer prices for the Horizont in the UK auction market sit between £92 and £160 across the four recorded sales, with a median value close to £120 — wholesale results achieved at saleroom level rather than retail asking prices. Those sales all fall between 1999 and 2001, so as of today in 2026 they read as historical reference points for what the camera has fetched at auction rather than a live guide to what it is currently worth. Fresh comparable results would be needed to set a confident present-day price.
