written by zark on 2011-12-19 #gear
The Yashica Electro GSN is a 35mm Rangefinder Journalist-style camera, or what I call the "Night Owl" Rangefinder. It's as near as I will get to a Leica for the next couple years.

written by dogma on 2009-02-11 #gear
One day accidentally I met my old friend. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so we spoke for a while about how we are doing and so on. I told him about my new sickness LOMOGRAPHY, Cameras and films. My friend remembered that somewhere at home he has old weird Russian camera. Next day he brought to me that little plastic box and gave me like a present.

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash
written by tikayiyay on 2011-02-04 #gear
If GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) is a problem of yours as it is mine, then you must spend a lot of time on the lomography store website or ebay just looking and lusting after cameras. This beautiful, medium format, box camera caught my eye on ebay. It looked so cute and interesting and was selling for just $10. I couldn't help myself and the rest as they say is history.

My First 110 Camera: The Asahi Pentax Auto 110
written by amytam on 2012-11-21 #gear
Since the release of the new 110 film from Lomography, I have been tempted to get myself a small camera and give this small format a go. But being a lover of bargains and my attempts to keep my spending down, I rummaged through Trademe (New Zealand's version of Ebay) listings and purchased my new vintage baby - Pentax Auto 110!

Horizon 202: The Forerunner
written by nation_of_pomation on 2011-03-05 #gear
Now that I’m college, one of my first missions was to find a photo lab, and I was lucky enough to find one that is also a camera store. While looking through their vintage cameras for sale, I happened on something I thought I’d see in person: a near-mint Horizon 202, the precursor to the Horizon 303 that Lomography’s Perfekt is based on. Now, it’s mine! Let’s see what she can do.

The Fed Experience - A Fed 3 Review
written by achocolatemoose on 2011-06-07 #gear
I ordered the Fed 3 without much thinking. Its looks had me at hello. I wanted a rangefinder camera for quite some time and only when the little guy was already on its way I started to really pay attention to reviews written on Lomography. And what I saw kind of scared me. I was in for a heavy old camera with a mind of its own.

Zenit TTL - The Teddy Bear Tank
2009-07-30 #gear
This is my go-to camera when I need an extra bit of control. This SLR is heavy as a brick, clunky, and oddly comforting to hold. A bit of a tank. On the outside it looks much like it's older Zenit siblings, but it's the inside that counts.
