Summary: Let's hear it for easy fun and creativity
Comment: This adorable lightweight camera is perfect for people who want a unique look to their photos but don't have the money to invest in fancy camera bodies and wide-angle lenses. The fisheye camera is as easy to use as any point-and-click, and it's fixed-focus lens means no zooming, focusing, or other photographic buzz-killers. What you see is what you get, wrapped into a gently bended shape with vignetted corners. The only consideration is that you must photograph well-lit subjects or shoot outside, as there is no aperature or shutter speed control-but it's a lot of fun!! Try to recreate all your favorite band photos from the '90s by shooting on high-speed black and white film.

Summary: This Camera is all about YOU!
Comment: I read the comments (even the bad one) before I purchased this camera. I took a chance because for something that might be really cool, its only $40. And he was right, the viewfinder is useless, but they even tell you that in the manual. Also, you do have to get really close to the subject, and shots only come out good if there's LOTS of light (especially indoor). Anyway, my first set of prints came out just okay, with a few amazing shots. From that set of prints I learned how to maximize the potential of this camera. The key is to fill up the frame. I took a shot of my friend out in a parking lot. The foreground was just her and the background was the sky. It came out so cool because the entire frame had something in it. There were scattered clouds everywhere, if the sky had been clear it would have just been clear blue space. But because I filled up the frame with objects everywhere, there were things to be distorted with the fisheye. I took another shot of the courtyard of a tall apartment building. That came out great because there were so many vertical lines and the fisheye could bend them. This camera doesn't take great pictures by itself so don't expect it to. If you've got the talent, imagination, or just plain curiousity, it's a great way to spend $40. I love it!

Summary: Lomo - rarely all it's cracked up to be
Comment: This is my second Lomo camera - 1st being the Kompact. I was disappointed with that one and I'm not too thrilled with the fisheye.
They aren't lying when they tell you the viewfinder doesn't work. In fact, it's partially blocked by the lens.
I just developed my first roll of film today - shots of pets and friends out on the town.
They basically looked like snap shots within a circle on a 4x6 sheet of paper plus, there was a large dark blur on the bottom right of each "circle"... maybe some flaw? Not sure.
I think this camera is best for daytime, scenic, outdoor pics or incredibly close shots. I thought I was close to my cat being a foot away from his nose (they say to stay about 3' away from your subject) but a large portion of the floor was also in the shot and he there was no real fisheye distortion.
Also, the white rubber trim, lens cover, and straps are just asking to look flithy after a few trips out.
If you are financially capable of developing a few rolls of film to get that ONE fantastic shot... then, Lomo is the brand for you because when you DO get that great shot - it's fabulous!

Summary: It's about fun.
Comment: Cheap little camera with a pretty good glass lens. Produces suprisingly sharp and striking photos. Fixed focus and shutter / aperture, and the lens barrel partly blocks the flash, so use fast film - 400 or 800 speed - and shoot in well-lit rooms or daylight. I spent the last week sticking it in peoples faces, and the prints made us laugh. If you're expecting a Nikon, you'll be disappointed - so, Don't Expect a Nikon! Expect a fun little camera with a lot of laughs for the buck. 5 stars because it does all it tries to do.

You have a unique way of seeing things, and so does the fisheye lens. This one comes ready for shooting in a nifty 35mm compact camera. The ultra-wide angle views give subjects-like your Aunt Edna's nose-a whole new dimension, making up-close subjects appear even closer. The background buildings, landscapes and settings bend around the center of the frame to render a sense of depth and roundness. Huge depth of field captures both the foreground and background in complete focus. A premium glass lens offers bright colors and knockout contrast. The world's first 35mm with a built-in fisheye lens, the camera captures a sweeping 170º field of vision, along with a cool interpretation of your personal perspective. Built-in electronic flash. Uses normal 35mm film. Includes wrist strap, lens cover and full instructional booklet. 2-1/2Hx4L".
