| The FT-2 was manufactured from
1958-1965 by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory in Krasnogorsk,
USSR. The FT-2 has a 120 degree angle of view and produces a 24mm
x 110mm negative. (Although the camera uses standard 35mm film,
the film must be rewound into the special cassettes that fit in the
FT-2.) The lens is a 52mm f5.0 Industar-50. (The
aperture is fixed at f5.0.) The camera has three shutter speeds
(1/100, 1/200, 1/400).

While swing-lens panoramic
cameras yield a wide image, they can be difficult to use. The
horizon bows up or down if the camera is not kept absolutely level, and
straight lines tend to appear as curved in the resulting photographs.
