Lomography has recently released a number of new editions of its lo-fi 35mm cameras such as the Fisheye No. 2 and the Sprocket Rocket.
The first of the new editions is the Fisheye No.2 Papaya, a bright-orange camera inspired by tropical fruit.
Lomography says: “A tropical treat for the senses, scoop up this juicy gem to capture your experimental antics in an incredible 170° fisheye view!”
Like all editions of the Fisheye No. 2, the camera has a fisheye lens with a 10-degree angle of view, an aperture of f/8 and a fixed shutter speed of 1/100 or B – though the camera also has an integral flash allowing it to be used in lower light.
Two new editions of the Sprocket Rocket panoramic camera have also been released.
The blue Baja Blue and rich red Bittersweet complement the original all-black Sprocket Rocket.
The camera takes panoramic-style images on 35mm film which also include the sprocket holes. The fully manual cameras also include a frame rewind function for double exposures.All three of these cameras are priced at £69.99 in the UK.
In March, Lomography released the el Nil edition of the Lomo Instant camera, which shoots on Fuji Instax film.
The el Nil camera is wrapped in a covering inspired by the Egyptian Nile. The camera has shutter speeds ranging from 1/125 down to eight seconds in Auto mode and up to 30 seconds in Bulb mode. The camera has two apertures – f/8 for portraits and f/22 for landscapes.
The el Nil camera comes in a kit including fisheye, close-up and wide-angle attachments and is priced at £179.
Last week, the Fluffy Omelet edition of the Lomo Apparat was released. This edition of the 21mm wide-angle camera features a vibrantly illustrated exterior.
The camera comes with the usual array of accessories – including coloured gels for the integral flash – and the set costs £99 in the UK.
