LOMO Holga kit CMY edition Lomography camera?
I found this camera back in fredflare and uo and I think it's totally cute and http://fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=3791&cat=309 I looked at the name and found the comments on the holga back normal (black), which has very good reviews and I wonder if this is basically the same camera only with an exterior color or different? or if someone has it and can tell me if they like it or not? thankss! :]
This is the same as the Holga CFN – which means it has the original plastic lens (some new versions of glass, giving sharper images – Holga charm is the distorted picture though), a flash, and different colors (red, blue, yellow, normal) for the flash. I am debating whether to buy the CMY or plain black CFN at the moment – I love the bright colors, but the only disadvantage that all Holga accessories (such as adapters to take 35 mm film or movie name) are black, so it would be a bit strange when I'm with them! This website – www.squarefrog.co.uk is good for all things Holga, as www.lomography.com (just look in the shop section) if you still want more info:)
Holga Lomo
Good Toycamera makes? Like Holga and Lomo? Cheap but good?
Preferabley 35mm film.
P.S Where can I get 35mm or 120 film developed cheaply on the internet, or in Suffolk?
Which lo-fi camera should you get? 35mm cameras are a good place to start. Why? They are cheaper and simpler cameras. If you get one of these cameras, it keeps the cost of exploring lo-fi photography on the cheaper side. You won’t get quite the same look with the 35mm film, but it is so much easier to learn with and it’s lower cost of camera and film will help you figure out if this works for you. If it turns out that toy camera photography is your passion, then you can explore getting the larger format 120 cameras.
Take a look at one of these 35mm cameras:
Holga 135 or 135BC
Supplier: http://freestylephoto.biz or http://bhphotovideo.com for about $46.
Similar cheap lens and operation as the Holga 120 cameras.
1 aperture setting (yes, the camera has 2 settings, but they are identical), 2 shutter settings, N (1/100 sec) and B (Bulb setting)
tripod mount, cable release socket
If you want the corner vignetting like on the larger format camera, get the Holga 135BC.

Superheadz Black Slim Devil
Supplier: http://www.fourcornerstore.com/ or http://freestylephoto.biz for about $30.
This is a clone based on the popular vintage Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. It has no exposure controls and no flash option, but with it’s wider than normal lens (22mm) it is capable of taking some outstanding photos.

There really isn’t a good Flickr group for these cameras yet, so the sample photos are from the Vivitar UWS

The Diana Mini
Supplier: Lomography.com for about $60
Lomography took the Diana camera, and shrunk it down to 35mm format. The Mini, while it lacks the interchangeable lenses of the full sized Lomography Diana+, is still a feature packed camera (at least compared to the Holga and Black Slim Devil). The frame format is unusual. They stuck with the square format of the Diana camera, but it is centered on a standard 35mm frame. The reason for floating the square on the 35mm frame is that be using a standard 35mm format, most 1-hour labs will be able to more easily deal with making scans or prints, since they are set up for regular 35mm film. You can also set the camera to half-frame 35mm, which is 2 vertical 24mm x 17mm images. This translates to 2 images on a standard 35mm frame. Currently a favorite of mine, it lives in my camera bag so it is handy where ever I go.
2 aperture settings, 2 shutter settings, N (1/100 sec) and B (Bulb setting)
tripod mount, cable release socket
This camera is unusual in that it offers square format,24x24mm on a standard 35mm frame (24x36mm). It also offers a half frame option, 17x24mm frames (it doubles the number of exposures you get on a roll of film)
Whichever camera you choose, remember that the point of lo-fi photography is to have fun and don’t sweat the details!

I have lots of tips, tricks and photos taken with plastic cameras.

I am also starting up a Ning Network for Lo-fi photography. I envision a place for people new to Lo-fi photography to come and ask questions and have fun conversations about Lo-fi photography.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
