Pros

The Big Picture

For those who don’t know Lomography is the commerical trademark of Lomographische AG, an Austrian company who produce and distribute a wide range of analogue photography based goods around the world. Yay!

This site is absolutely massive, there are plenty of different models of camera from the more serious Medium format HOLGA to fun 8 lense OKTOMAT hybrids. The main point here is to have be creative, tell a story like they used to before big-flash-multi-taking-digital-cams showed up giving everything about as much atmosphere as a room full of people wearing denim.

A big plus for this site is how they display the different cameras each has it’s own mini-site with tips & tricks, history of and gallery sections to give you a real idea of what you can get out the different models of LOMO.

We love the overall clean and simply styling used where they let the products speak for themselves, and the photographing community show what can be achieved with an old russian camera and some coloured bits of plastic.

Cons

Red-Eye

Not much to gripe about, but we advise if you have only ever taken digital pictures in your life this might be a bit of an uphill battle! As much as they like to think the whole plastic camera thing is a cheap and fun way to photography, prepare to part with some of your hard earned cash…

This is on my wishlist just check out some of the magnificent things that can be done with this beast
