There is a review article on this camera with the 45 mm lens on the

June 1996 issue of Photon magazine (UK). The article is available

on line @ http://www.Photonpub.co.uk/photon/jun96/horseman612.html

Not sure if the 45 mm Grandagon is the best on the market. It's pretty cutting-edge. 45 mm for a 6x12 format is indeed much wider

than a 20 mm for the 35 mm format. The 55 mm and 65 mm lenses might work better for the equivalent of a 20 mm lens on the 35 mm format.

There is a photo feature on Tokyo at night taken with the Horseman SW612 w/ 65mm grandagon

in the August issue of Asahi Camera. The photos appear to be a little overexposed (due to

the city lights at night, but it's not any fault of the camera), but sharpness and contrast

are very good, and distortion is undectable. I also don't detect any of the corner darkening,

so I presume the user used a center-weighted ND filter.

I have Linhof technorama PCII . It4s much better camera than the Horseman. It has new lenses like 58mnm f:5.6. And it4s lightyears better than your Nikon with 20mm. + you can use it handheld like the Horseman. But if you take longer format like 6x17 you always has to use tripod. I have also Fuji 6x9 very good cameras and lenses
