 It's about fun. November 27, 2005

Cheap little camera with a pretty good glass lens. Produces suprisingly sharp and striking photos. Fixed focus and shutter / aperture, and the lens barrel partly blocks the flash, so use fast film - 400 or 800 speed - and shoot in well-lit rooms or daylight. I spent the last week sticking it in peoples faces, and the prints made us laugh. If you're expecting a Nikon, you'll be disappointed - so, Don't Expect a Nikon! Expect a fun little camera with a lot of laughs for the buck. 5 stars because it does all it tries to do.

I read the comments (even the bad one) before I purchased this camera. I took a chance because for something that might be really cool, its only $40. And he was right, the viewfinder is useless, but they even tell you that in the manual. Also, you do have to get really close to the subject, and shots only come out good if there's LOTS of light (especially indoor). Anyway, my first set of prints came out just okay, with a few amazing shots. From that set of prints I learned how to maximize the potential of this camera. The key is to fill up the frame. I took a shot of my friend out in a parking lot. The foreground was just her and the background was the sky. It came out so cool because the entire frame had something in it. There were scattered clouds everywhere, if the sky had been clear it would have just been clear blue space. But because I filled up the frame with objects everywhere, there were things to be distorted with the fisheye. I took another shot of the courtyard of a tall apartment building. That came out great because there were so many vertical lines and the fisheye could bend them. This camera doesn't take great pictures by itself so don't expect it to. If you've got the talent, imagination, or just plain curiousity, it's a great way to spend $40. I love it!

Lomo cameras are a lot of fun. Shooting from the hip, so to say, is their motto and it works with their cameras. This camera has an awesome lens that capures your world in a whole new way. Yes this camera is plastic and cheap feeling, but the results are awesome. Rich in color and it bends your world through its fish eye lens. Have fun! I am!

This adorable lightweight camera is perfect for people who want a unique look to their photos but don't have the money to invest in fancy camera bodies and wide-angle lenses. The fisheye camera is as easy to use as any point-and-click, and it's fixed-focus lens means no zooming, focusing, or other photographic buzz-killers. What you see is what you get, wrapped into a gently bended shape with vignetted corners. The only consideration is that you must photograph well-lit subjects or shoot outside, as there is no aperature or shutter speed control-but it's a lot of fun!! Try to recreate all your favorite band photos from the '90s by shooting on high-speed black and white film.
