Lomography’s super-cheap film cameras look like disposables
Thanks to the smartphones in our pockets, we all have a basic understanding of digital photography, even if we don't own a fancy DSLR. But this casual familiarity can make delving into analog, film shooting a bit daunting, at least initially. Champio...
Deal: LomoKino 35mm Movie Maker & LomoKinoScope
If you like the look of grainy retro style images, no digital filter can compare to good old analog film. This Lomography kit lets you snap a variety of neat analog effects and turn them into short movies.
The LomoKino shoots a film of 144 frames on a roll of standard 35mm film. It can create such effects as color negative, X-Pro, redscale & black-and-white movies – depending on the film you select. Here’s a sample of the kind of lo-fi movies you can capture with it:
Also included is the LomoKinoScope, which lets you play back and view your developed film. Just load up the film, look through the lens, and turn the crank and exclaim “Old school!”
The complete bundle is available at the Technabob Shop now for $59.99(USD) – a savings of 39% off the MSRP.
Lomo’Instant Camera: Instant Photos With Added Options
Instant cameras aren’t anything new, but Lomography manages to bring something new to the table with the Lomo’Instant camera. If you’ve ever used a Polaroid or a Fujifilm Instax, then you know that shooting options for instant cameras are quite limited. Basically, you just point and shoot and hope for the best as you wait for your photos to develop.
That’s where the Lomo’Instant camera starts to differ. First of all, it’s packed with a bunch of additional options and extra features so you can tweak settings and shoot more creatively. It’s programmed with three shooting modes, so you’re in control when it comes to lighting. Plus you can shoot unlimited multiple exposures so you can experiment and combine multiple shots into one frame.
The Lomo’Instant camera uses Fujifilm Instax Mini film, which is widely and readily available, so you don’t have to worry about running out of film. It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a pledge of $89 will get you one of your very own.

Lomography intros Konstruktor: craft your own film SLR for $35 (video)
It's easy to build your own camera if you're determined to capture images on the cheap; it's another matter if you want something just slightly more refined. If that's the case, Lomography has you covered with its new Konstruktor kit. The pack gives DIY types everything they need to build their own 35mm film SLR, including a removable 50mm f/10 lens and customizable panels. There's no control over aperture or shutter speed, but Lomography's retro-inclined crowd will like the quick toggle for long exposure shots. They'll also like the $35 price -- it's possible to buy 100 Konstructors before matching the cost of just one EOS 5D Mark III. Should that kind of math be too much to resist, you'll be glad to hear that the camera is already on sale at Lomography's shop.

Lomo-Copter: The Artsy, Hipster Drone
There was some uproar about the possibility of using unarmed drones over US soil to locate that cop turned killer fugitive, but maybe that’s because drones have a bad rap because of all of the bombs they’ve been known to drop. Now, engineers at FliteTest are trying to make a kinder, gentler drone, the kind that captures artsy images.
The Lomo-Copter is a remote-controlled tricopter, outfitted with a medium-format Diana F+ Lomography camera with an instant back and remote-triggering mechanism. This brings fuzzy, light-leaky, and vignette stylized imagery to secret spy footage.
The Lomo-Copter also has another camera mounted to the Lomo-cam’s viewfinder, which transmits real-time footage to the operator’s stylish goggles for first-person-view operation of the drone, so they can snap pictures remotely with the old-school analog camera. Here’s a comparison of the FPV goggles and a Lomo print:
So if you’re worried about drones flying over your neighborhood, don’t be because some of them are actually pretty nice, and they might just Instagram you some photos of your garden gnomes.
