So there's Lomography plc or something which makes cameras in Russia, then there's Lomography AG which is some Austrian guy who bought an old, flawed, nasty plastic camera in Vienna as film was dying and digital was beginning, one makes actual crappy cameras, and one just polishes them up and sticks stupid price tags on them. This guy thought this camera was ace, and marketed it skillfully to make the flaws of a crappy camera seem like a big bag of cool. The LC-A was born. And off the back of that purchase the Holga, Diana, Sardina and Smena were revitalised. So I love that the company gets people shooting film again, but I'm sad that they only trumpet crappy cameras. My collection is made up of amazingness. A Nikon FM, (and I want the FM2 and the F3). I've got fast zoom lenses and a fast fifty. I can shoot in all conditions and get great results. I can frame a picture and focus it perfectly. I know at each wind on the film actually advances. None of which are guaranteed with the LC-A. I use a Minolta XD11 which costs about the same as an LC-A if you get the f1.4 lens with it. Beautiful and slick, the Leica SLRs were based on it. I use a Contax 137 with Carl Zeiss lens, about the same price again, but this one designed by Porsche. Basically what I'm saying is if this cost $2 then sure, it's a lot of unpredictable fun and it's tiny (fits in a pocket) but its £100 so why would you accept such poor controls and flimsy features when you can be shooting with classic, precision pieces of equipment. As for the unpredictable lomo flaws. Well, they're unpredictable, don't hold your breath.Read full review
