well i have to say this camera is great it has its and good and bad but beside that it a pretty neat camera to mess around with wish it came with a usb connector but buying film isn't bad
Because this is a fisheye camera, I find that I've stopped using the viewfinder. I used it while flying kites with friends and loved the results.
You have to expect and embrace the imperfections, otherwise this camera will drive you crazy. Inside, the pictures tend to turn out dark without the flash, or white washed with the flash, as the flash tends to be too strong.This camera isn't perfect, which it the point.
I've had this camera for about a year now, having forgotten to review it when I first received it, and I love it. Part of the fun is in not know exactly how your picture will turn out, and usually it turns out great.This camera works best in bright, natural lighting.
But for those looking for something fun and different, I fully recommend the Lomo Fisheye. The colors are surprisingly vibrant, more so than I had expected, and the camera has a nice feel to it.
I just point the camera at my intended subject and shoot.
Clearly this isn't a primary camera but it's nice to have in your camera bag for a more unusual or artsy shot. Also, it works best outside. This camera is really easy to use -- once you get the hang of it. I suggest getting a cheap role of film to shoot some test shots before doing anything serious.
When you get your prints back, the image is in a black circle. Also I got a few shots with the lens cap dangling in the way. This camera is pretty fun to play with. And if you're not careful, your feet may end up in the shot because of the lens being so wide. So be mindful of your lens cap and your feet and just go to town. I guess I had different expectations for how the the pictures would come out. But once I knew what to expect I had a lot of fun with it.
Its great fun, a great travel camera. For what it is it is darn amazing, if you want critical sharpness don't spend thirty dollars on a single exposure 35mm fisheye. Go Spend a thousand on a specific lens.
