Lomography Fisheye 35mm Camera Reviews
You have to expect and embrace the imperfections, otherwise this camera will drive you crazy. This camera isn't perfect, which it the point. Part of the fun is in not know exactly how your picture will turn out, and usually it turns out great. Inside, the pictures tend to turn out dark without the flash, or white washed with the flash, as the flash tends to be too strong.
Because this is a fisheye camera, I find that I've stopped using the viewfinder. This camera works best in bright, natural lighting. I've had this camera for about a year now, having forgotten to review it when I first received it, and I love it. I used it while flying kites with friends and loved the results.
The colors are surprisingly vibrant, more so than I had expected, and the camera has a nice feel to it. But for those looking for something fun and different, I fully recommend the Lomo Fisheye. I just point the camera at my intended subject and shoot.
Also, it works best outside. I suggest getting a cheap role of film to shoot some test shots before doing anything serious. This camera is really easy to use once you get the hang of it. Clearly this isn't a primary camera but it's nice to have in your camera bag for a more unusual or artsy shot.
This camera is pretty fun to play with. So be mindful of your lens cap and your feet and just go to town. And if you're not careful, your feet may end up in the shot because of the lens being so wide. When you get your prints back, the image is in a black circle. I guess I had different expectations for how the the pictures would come out. But once I knew what to expect I had a lot of fun with it. Also I got a few shots with the lens cap dangling in the way.
Go Spend a thousand on a specific lens. Its great fun, a great travel camera. For what it is it is darn amazing, if you want critical sharpness don't spend thirty dollars on a single exposure 35mm fisheye.
Wasted almost my whole first roll because I should of used the flash more. Camera is great. The lens doesn't seem to grab as much light as a regular lense, so use the flash often. Total user error though. Enjoy. Love it. Camera is awesome.
