Lomography has been at the forefront of the analogue revolution for decades. Starting in 1992 with some Viennese students falling in love with the aesthetic of a particular Soviet camera (the iconic LC-A) - they founded a movement and a company that would introduce a new generation to the joys of plastic cameras and experimental film. Periodically innovating new cameras for existing formats - and sometimes bringing back formats specially for their cameras! - they are vibrant and creative

Well, it’s an experience.
I haven’t gotten round to using the camera yet, but before you can, you have to build it.
Don’t assume this will be easy. Be patient; it is tedious. Cardboard can fray, and some of the slots are very tight. I also found one of the parts to be labelled the wrong way round (the 2 top panels).
I went for a walk, came back, dismantled a few pieces, rebuilt it, and completed it.
It is, surprisingly, sturdy and robust, but obviously don’t take it out in the rain, or drop it.
The lens looks alright, and the fit is very tight and overlapping, so I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work as it should. I will update once I get round to shooting and developing.
Just don’t buy thinking it will take 5 minutes to build, it won’t. I’ve read online where some people can’t complete it.
It is fun and I’m glad I finished it, but in hindsight not sure it’s worth £50. Plenty of better cameras to buy for that.
I don’t think this will age too well with repeated use, but time will tell.
And if it wasn’t already obvious, it is rather large, and inconvenient to carry around.
