 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!

This is my second Lomo camera - 1st being the Kompact. I was disappointed with that one and I'm not too thrilled with the fisheye.
They aren't lying when they tell you the viewfinder doesn't work. In fact, it's partially blocked by the lens.
I just developed my first roll of film today - shots of pets and friends out on the town.
They basically looked like snap shots within a circle on a 4x6 sheet of paper plus, there was a large dark blur on the bottom right of each "circle"... maybe some flaw? Not sure.
I think this camera is best for daytime, scenic, outdoor pics or incredibly close shots. I thought I was close to my cat being a foot away from his nose (they say to stay about 3' away from your subject) but a large portion of the floor was also in the shot and he there was no real fisheye distortion.
Also, the white rubber trim, lens cover, and straps are just asking to look flithy after a few trips out.
If you are financially capable of developing a few rolls of film to get that ONE fantastic shot... then, Lomo is the brand for you because when you DO get that great shot - it's fabulous!

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!
