I bought this camera to work with distorted effects in photography. When looking through the lens one does not see the fisheye effect, it occurs on the negative. The first few rolls I shot were in black and white film(kodak 400 b/w processing) and I was not satisfied. However, I began to shoot in color film (kodak 400) and the photos are absolutely beautiful. The lens has a depth of 170 degrees so aim up more when shooting vertical as to not include yourself in the image by accident. Also,beware of photo technicians, many of my photos were crop incorrectly. Overall, it is a lovely camera and I definately suggest it.
 It's a fun little camera, but overpriced... November 27, 2006

A pleasant little camera that takes good (for a toy camera) quality fisheye shots. The image circle is smaller than a 35mm frame, so be prepared for images that look like they were taken through a toilet paper roll. You'll see the inside of the lens barrel. The build quality is just a hair above a disposable camera, dressed up with some faux leather. It's certainly a good alternative to going out and buying a "real" fisheye lens just to screw around, but as you would expect from the Lomographic Society - it's about twice as expensive as it should be.

Being a long time photo nut, for the holidays, my wife bought me the fish eye, in gold no less.
I shot Fujicolor 400, took pictures of my car from all kinds of crazy angles, streets, people, all were shot with the awarness that the viewfinder just was an aid.
Took the the film into a one hour developer, with the following instructions, no prints, just do the negatives and put them on a cd, he did that,got them home and viewed them.
They were wonderful, did a little work on them with Picasa 2 and converted some to black and white, it seems like artwork.
Today in Queens NY, Floyd Bennet Naval Air Station, the Concord was taken off the deck of the Intrepid and is now on view to the Public, am taking the Lomo with me, should be fascinating.
My only negative about the Fisheye is that the film advance is a bit raggedy, but really works fine.
I love this camera

This camera is a pretty basic cheap film camera, but it takes surprisingly good photos. I love how some of my photos came out with it, I caught a hot air balloon show, and the fish eye view makes it look totally surreal. this is definitely worth the money.
Much fun! February 16, 2007

This camera is a lot of fun. It's not just for snapshots; many pictures can be distorted through the Fisheye lens for artistic pictures.
