The Horseman SW612 is a 6x12 panorama camera system using 120 film and manufactured by the Japanese firm Komamura.
It is a fully mechanical system that requires no batteries to operate. It consists of the body which has a finder, spirit level and strap lugs. There are six Rodenstock lenses available. Finder masks are required for various lenses. It uses Horseman Roll Film Holders for 6x7, 6x9, or 6x12 formats. A ground glass back can also be used.
