The KMZ Horizont is a 35mm panoramic film camera produced by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory (KMZ) in the Soviet Union. It employs a swing-lens mechanism to capture wide-angle images with a 120° field of view on standard 35mm film, producing negatives of approximately 24×58 mm.

The camera uses a 28mm f/2.8 Industar-28 lens, a multi-element glass optic designed to maintain uniform sharpness and geometric accuracy across the panoramic frame. The lens is mounted in a rotating drum, which moves during exposure to project the image sequentially across the film plane, achieving a continuous panoramic effect without distortion typical of stitched images.

The mechanical shutter operates at two drum rotation speeds, providing exposure times between 1/30s and 1/250s, with manual aperture control from f/2.8 to f/16. Focusing is fixed, optimized for hyperfocal distance to maintain clarity from medium range to infinity.

The Horizont features a robust metal body, a bubble level integrated into the viewfinder, and a tripod mount for stabilized shooting. Film advance and shutter cocking are linked via a single winding lever, ensuring consistent frame spacing.

Engineered for precision panoramic capture on 35mm film, the KMZ Horizont remains a mechanically sophisticated rotating-lens system designed for wide-field photographic applications.
