this was so helpful
What about Holga???
I've got a four lens, I love it :D
I really liked this post. I've been looking for a film camera like this for a while and was thinking of getting a Holga. These are pretty nice! I had never heard of multiple objective cameras!
Awesome!
I simply need to get a film camera soon!
Hey, okay, so i found my fathers old nikon slr, but i decided i'd switch it up and buy lomo film...
will that make a difference on the color quality?
(i want it to)
I have a film SLR, but I'm dying to get my hands on a medium format camera. Oh, the dream.
This is great!!
But just a few suggestions, YOU FORGOT THE LC-A!!! That is like, essential! And also, the ten golden rules of lomography would be a pretty good addition
( 1. Take your camera everywhere you go
2. Use it any time – day and night
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it
4. Try the shot from the hip
5. Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible
6. Don’t think (william firebrace)
7. Be fast
8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film
9. Afterwards either
10. Don’t worry about any rules )
And finally, it's just 120 film, not 120mm :)
The Octomat reminds me of a spider! Great write-up!
So this has totally inspired me to start looking into Lomography and searching for a good camera. I've seen these types of photos before; just didn't know what it was called. Thanks! Future posts on this subect would be much appreciated!

great post, and yes the rules is a good point, also Lomography started in the late 70s.
in 2006-ish i used to go to the library and take the only lomo book available but it was in Russian at that time I didn't know anything about Lomo I always wonder what is this? how did they took all this photos?.... :s ....I used to spend HOURS just looking all pages. Eventually later that year I did my research and knew all about Lomo.
Such a lovely post!!!
This is amazing ♥
What cute cameras! I really want one now.
what an awesome post! thanks so much for doing this :) i've only recently acquired a holga and i'm already looking to expand my lomo collection, haha.
i need that last one in my life. It is pretty just to look at !
But it's the Diana Mini that you've got right? The Diana is so pretty. It's the best among the affordable right?
