Lomography Fisheye 35mm Camera Best Review

Nice camera for fun snapshots… give a great fisheye effect. It’s much cheaper than an actual fisheye lens for a digital camera, but about the same image quality as a disposable camera, so don’t expect the sharp images that you’d get with a real nice camera. Maximum fisheye effect occurs real close to the subject (within a foot or so… but not too close as the subject will then become blurry), but you still can get a nice effect if you take pictures from further away (although if you get too far the object will become tiny or even invisible).
Be prepared to buy a lot of film and spend money getting them developed though (especially when you’re first getting started and want to take some test pictures, as it’s mostly luck how good the pictures turn out). I can say that they do improve with experience. You really do need to get used to the flash… it must be used while you are indoors, but it’s a little bright so it might make the subject look blown-out. Best thing to do would be to cover the flash with something (like a napkin) to lessen its strength, or just to only use this camera outside on bright, sunny days.
A warning though, this camera is made of plastic… and after several uses, the knob to wind up the film (when you run out of exposures and want to remove the film from the camera) broke off on mine. The camera is still usable… but it’s a pain taking the film out now.
One last thing I like about this product… you can buy the Lomography Fisheye Submarine Case (Clear/Red) to use this camera underwater, in which you can get some great shots.

Broke on second roll of film – Flannery 626 – Orange County, California
The rewind mechanism broke on the second roll of film, rendering the camera useless, and I lost a roll of film in the process of figuring out what was wrong.

Fun! – E. Cavazos – Monterrey, MX
This is a camera to have fun. I’m waiting to finish the film, so i can see my pictures.

Buy this!!!! – Polly – Gainesville
This is such a fun camera and I was so happy with the first roll of film I developed. I’ll be honest, you have to experiment with the camera in order to get the optimal fisheye shot. It’s obviously not as fantastic as a real fisheye lense on a (D)SLR but for , it beats having to buy a 0 camera and a 0+ lens. The majority of my college campus is built of bricks so pictures on campus are amazing. I love this camera!
