Five Lomography Accessories to Check Out

In film photography, finding the right accessory to fit our ideas or preferred aesthetics can lead to bursts of creative energy and excitement. The amount of accessories around such as lens adapters, filters, and more, makes film a layered craft where we can take many different directions or follow new approaches, all according to our vision or whimsy!

In this article, we're looking at a few accessories available at our online shop for film enthusiasts or professionals looking for inspiration to shoot film a different way!

Daguerreotype Achromat Lens Macro Adapter

The Daguerreotype Achromat Reverse Macro Adapter for Canon EF and Nikon F is for any film photographer who'd like to take a closer look at their subjects with the Daguerreotype Achromat Art Lens using their Canon EF or Nikon F mount cameras.

With a focusing distance of up to 15 cm, this macro lens adapter is perfect for macro photography with a Daguerreotype Achromat aesthetic twist. The soft blur lends a delicate feel to any subject, such as in artist Christian Heidebur's macrophotography and multiple exposure series, which he also talked about in an interview with Lomography.

Lomo Krab Underwater Housing

We all know about the damage that water (especially saltwater) can cause to cameras, but it's easy to prevent this outcome with a handy underwater camera housing such as the Lomo Krab Underwater Housing for the LC-A+ and LC-Wide cameras.

This underwater camera accessory can help you shoot clearly up to 20 m deep, making it a great fit for anyone who enjoys film photography by the beach, the pool or even underwater.

Meanwhile, there's also the Simple Use Underwater Case for those who want to capture fun underwater with Lomography's Simple Use Camera.

LomoGraflok 4×5 Instant Back

Designed for wide instant film, the LomoGraflok 4x5 Instant Back allows you to shoot large format in an instant. The instant result is a great option for photographers wanting to explore another way of doing large format photography (or vice versa, instant format shooters who want to try out large format), or for those who would simply like to shoot large format more conveniently.

The instant back can be used for Graflok-equipped 4×5 cameras and uses Fujifilm Instax Wide film. See these photos taken by community members @tzecmol, @yoshitoshi-saito-7 and @somapic of the instant back in large format cameras for inspiration!

Lomo’Instant Splitzer

Speaking of the instant format, the Lomo'Instant Splitzer is a great accessory for anyone who wants to have a little more fun with instant photography. A beloved accessory compatible with any of the Lomo'Instant cameras, the splitzer allows you to slice and dice your images to come up with some of the most intriguing and entertaining instant film photos.

As can be seen in these photos by community members @gocchin, @dop, @poonsabrina, @lisafot, @dory31 and @merry, the Lomo'Instant Splitzer can be used for different kinds of subjects, including creative portraits.

Metal Chain Camera Strap

Sturdy and fashionable, the last on our list, the Metal Chain Camera Strap is a great way to carry your camera and shoot securely. The camera strap has a length of 45 cm and can be used over your shoulders or around your neck, making it a good fit for Lomographers who carry their cameras anywhere and everywhere to capture that perfect spontaneous moment on film.

The Metal Chain Camera Strap is suitable for lightweight cameras with a 1 cm wide strap lug and is perfect for use with the Lomomatic 110, Diana F+, the Half-Frame Lomourette, Lomo’Instant Cameras and LC-A 120 cameras.
