Product Description
Swing your head around and imagine your two eyes multiplying into 8 winking in a 2.5-second, serial succession. You, my friend, have tasted only the very beginning of Oktomatic pleasure. With one touch of the shutter button, its 8 tiny lenses fire in turn, creating a multi-frame mini photo vignette. Upload your masterpiece to lomography.com and create a full-action MiniMovie! Uses standard 35mm film and standard processing. SHOOT!! And 8 clack's later your subject is cleanly sliced into 8 little frames, boiled, and served. It's no Hollywood feature, but believe us, 8 frames can tell quite a tale. With the Oktomat, you're on your way to a shining Lomographic academy award

 Freaky Fun April 4, 2005

This is a cool addition to your camera bag, it is a cooky cool way to create "Art"! 8 little shots, you'll need to pay for the largest size prints allowed by your budget though to get the full 8 piccie effect, on each frame. As with all Lomo effect cameras the colours are skewed, the pictures are not bitingly sharp (getting a high res 35mm film helps though), and the effects are very much hit and miss, but the hits are superbly bizarre. Once you see the effect you'll be hooked, it is really a basic wind, point and click, hear the classic "whirrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzclick" sound and you are done! It works best with a moving subject, crowd scenes, pets, kids, etc.... I took some shots at a hippy market in Totnes, UK and the results were great! Really odd and strangely unwordly. I took some straight shots with a Nikon D70 too and although these were interesting, the Lomo brought out the spaced outedness of the scenes, the colours and movement are pure Lomo. I love it and so will you too, for this price it is worth the gamble! Pop one in your pocket and whenever you come across a scene with bright colours, movement, shifting patterns the Lomo 8 lens camera will come into it's own. Shoot low to avoid 8 pictures of the sky and the tops of people's heads. Keep the wrist strap away from the front too.

I've had this camera for about 3 months and I think it's very unique and is definitely worth trying out. The only thing that I can think of that is a disadvantage is that it doesn't have a flash- you must take all pictures in sunlight or they don't turn out. It's really fun to take pictures of things like birds or cars on the highway because you get a completely different image in each of the eight images. I would recommend it for anyone into art.

i had this camera for maybe about a month, and i only got to take one roll of film before it broke on me. the film advance lever is really cheaply made of plastic, so it had a hard time pulling the film across and then eventually it just broke on me. What a waste of 40 dollars! its a pretty interesting camera, but if it can't even survive pulling your film across the camera, whats the point of it.
 mine broke too :[ October 18, 2006

It broke after my 3rd roll.
I was so disappointed!
Otherwise the effects and everything are really neat.

mine broke first roll. and it destroyed the film. it's a total piece of plastic junk and waste of money. it should cost under $1, or be in a gumball machine somewhere.
