Description from the seller

KMZ FT-2 Panoramic Camera (1958–1965)

Rare panorama camera produced by KMZ (Krasnogorsky Mechanical Plant) in the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1965. The FT-2 is an early precursor of the well-known Horizont series and creates 24×110 mm panoramas on standard 35 mm film – an impressive achievement for its time.

Specifications:

Manufacturer: KMZ, USSR

Production years: approximately 1958–1965

Format: 24×110 mm panoramas on 35 mm film

Lens: Industar-50 f/3.5 (28 mm)

Shutter speeds: 1/100 s and 1/200 s

Unique swing-lens mechanism with spring winding

Details
The camera features a rotating lens construction that 'scants' a wide image across the film surface – a technical masterpiece from the analog era. This makes the FT-2 an iconic collector's item among panoramic enthusiasts and Soviet camera collectors.

Condition
The movement of the swing lens operates smoothly. Appearance with very light signs of use. Comes as shown. Not tested with film.

A rare and characterful panoramic model from the early years of KMZ, ideal for collectors of vintage Russian cameras or enthusiasts of special analog techniques.
