• Welta Belmira

  
  My quest for finding the best and most beautiful cameras from the former east german republic, let me discover a very special and unusual camera named "belmira" produced by the Welta. The cameras is known also under the name of "Belca Belmira". In fact the camera was first produced by the" VEB Belca Werk" from 1953 to 1958 and then, after the integration in a new industrial structure, was continued by the "Welta Kamera-Werk Freital". Both entreprises came from Dresden, and were founded before the 1st world war and were re-organized after the 2nd war by the new DDR socialist régime. Welta itself was integrated in the VEB Pentacon after 1964...

• Colorsplash – The Party Camera Of Choice

  
  Nothing captures the woozy, manic memories of a great party like the Lomo Colorsplash. While others wash out the room with a blinding harsh white flash, you paint the moment in yellow streaks, glowing blue orbs and bright red faces. The Colorsplash has a thousand uses, but a party is where it truly comes into it’s own. Lightweight but strong, it’s something that can be held comfortably in one hand (preferably the one not holding a beer) as you wait for an opportunity to momentarily blind a fellow partygoer!

• Konica Chrome Centuria (35mm, 200 iso) user-review

  
  A Little Surprise! I picked up some of this film on a whim. I had never tried to cross process film before and didn't really have any clue which film to use, so I just picked up the cheapest thing that said "slide" on it.

• Lomo LC-A - Loveliest Camera Alive

  
  The classic lomo camera and the reason why we all are here! The Lomo Compact Automat is my all day camera. It has a reason why this camera started a new way of photography. One of the reasons is Minitar- lens, a 32mm russian lens that produces a vignette (the corners are getting darker, so you have a focus on the middle of the picture) and that lets colours explode. The original LCA has a automatic exposure (app 2.8) with five different asa- settings (25 to 400) so you can shoot with her in ANY light- conditions. If you want, you can add a hotshoe- flash (like colorsplash flash with its four changeable colour- filters). The original LCA has different apperatures (A = automatic (2,8), 2,8 – 16) with fix exposure times (good if you want to use a flash for portraits, so use 16- setting and you can get close without overexposing the face).

• Lomography Oktomat: 8 Choice Cuts

  
  I'm really into experimental films and directors, so I've always wanted something that I could create my own films with;plus I kind of fancy myself a film director. After having bought my Holga and several other cameras that I learned some technique on, I had heard people throughout the Lomography community talking about the 8 lens wondercam, Oktomat. I had checked out the Oktokino and saw what the Oktomat could do, and I had to get one.

• Horizon Kompakt is Magic!

  
  When I discovered Lomography, I immediately felt in love with the Horizon Kompakt camera. Wow, what stunning pics this camera could produce, I couldn't stop thinking and dreaming about it! But I couldn't afford this camera at the time and hoped to save enough money to buy one in the future.

• Ilford XP2 (35mm, 400 iso) user-review

  
  Some people say B&W is not Lomography. There may be nice images done on Holga but that's all about it. True lomostyle is in colors. In bright colors. And cross process is a king there. Well, I wouldn't be so narrow-minded...

• Lomography Lomolitos - Staff Review

  
  Compact-sized and colorful, the Lomolitos single-use cameras preloaded with 24 exposures of color film and an integrated colorflash. It offers convenience and fun at an affordable price. These lightweight analog babies which come in four colors (red, green, yellow, and blue) allow you to add a burst of color with its built-in colorflash. It works great as a fill-in flash during daytime, and a more intense colorsplash during the nighttime.

• The Pop 9: Golden* 9Eye is Watching You!

  
  There are lots of plastic beauties featured with four lenses, even with eight lenses, which show you moves and bring some action into your life. Among all these plastic fantastic cameras there is one with a little eccentric touch – the golden 9eye! She’s the static queen and pictures a moment of calm 9 times. This means that to shoot one object looks like a fantastic design and that’s why it is almost impossible to mess up a photo. It is often a big surprise to see the results of your film – even when you think that you took some shots which do not live up with your high expectations.

• Voigtländer VF101

  
  Searching through the internet what kind of new camera I could buy, I caught a sight of a nice rangefinder camera branded Voigtländer. The magic name of this optical factory and my desire for a cool semi-automatic rangefinder camera convinced me to buy this Voigtländer VF101. After a few researches I found out a mathematic formula for this camera: "Voigtländer + Zeiss Ikon + Rollei = VF101" – wow - that sounds a strange combination! How did these 3 prestigious names of German camera producers go together to produce this little tiny and sweet VF101 (who has also a twin-sister called Zeiss Ikon S312)... well, that needs a little history lesson ...

• Fuji Neopan (35mm, 1600 iso) user-review

  
  Fast and Loose Fuji! Regarded as the photojournalist's choice where high-speed shooting (and developing) was a priority in the days before digital, Fuji Neopan 1600 is still the film lover's preference when capturing street and portrait photos under pretty much any lighting conditions.

• Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim

  
  You won't believe the results you get with this 100% plastic camera. I bought my Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim (known as a 'Viv' in some circles) from eBay after years of lusting after one. It has everything required for anyone with a good eye to become an amazing photographer: absolutely no control over anything, fixed exposure/aperture/focus, no battery or flash; just put a film in and away you go.
