Lomography has announced a new nautically themed edition of its Fisheye No. 2 wide-angle 35mm camera.
The blue-and-sand Lomography Fisheye No. 2 La Mer features the design’s 170° lens and delivers “dreamy bulbous Lomographic snapshots full of vignettes, light leaks and analogue charm”.
Lomography said in a press release: “The Fisheye No. 2 La Mer is for those who want to push the boundaries of their lives, lenses and film. With a sweeping fisheye perspective, it is about exploring creatively, and seeing the world through a bigger picture (and lens). Paint the palettes of your portraits during the sunny days or warm summer nights with the built-in flash and get up close and personal with its 10cm closest focusing distance.
“The detachable viewfinder gives you freedom to get lost in the sea of possibilities and trust your instincts on any romanticised escapade. Live freely, love loudly and set sail into any voyage boldly – no matter how the tides change.”
The camera takes characteristic fisheye-style images, with circular images surrounded by elements of the lens housing.
This edition of the camera – which was first released in 2009 – is made of periwinkle-blue plastic with a sand-coloured detachable viewfinder.
It is available to buy now from the Lomography Shop and in the UK costs £69.
