The One and Only

Simply put, the Lomo Compact never leaves my side. With it's tiny size and that great metal lens cover, I have it in a bag or a pocket at all times.

Why? What makes this camera so special to me? Simply put - it's the images. I have no formal training in photography whatsoever, but I am able to shoot some of the most amazing images that I have ever seen with this little item. Surely, I shoot a few blurry and screwed-up pics as well, but the unpredictability is part of the charm. After you drop off your film, you can almost always expect to have a few images which are absolutely mind blowing. Using the camera is easy to grasp, although not too easy - so you still feel a sense of accomplishment after you "master" it. In my opinion, it's a perfect item for a beginner.

With all due respect to my Amazon peers, the reviewers who feel negatively about the camera are missing the point.
It's not made with the precision of a Canon or Nikon. It doesn't have the sharpness of a Zeiss or Leica. It's not the correct camera for someone who really wants to learn the technical in's and out's of photography.

But that's where the magic is. It's made in Russia by hand. The images it creates are beautiful and completely dripping with soul. Colors are super-strong, contrast is huge, and (defect or not) the vignetting effect is very cool. Outside of that, it's small, cute, easy to use, and has this awesome mechanical-oil smell.

If you want a normal, super-reliable Japanese cam that takes nicely exposed, in-focus shots every time, then pick one up.
As everyone else said, they generally have more technical features for a better price. If you want something truly unique, utterly beautiful,, and (at times) a little temperamental - then go for the Lomo. You won't be disappointed.

Lomo 4-Ever!

i am really happy with my lomo. when i flip through my photo album i can really see a difference between photos before and after my LC-A. the colors of my LC-A photos are so vibrant and beautiful. i've been a lomo fan for years. i love photography and am a bit of a camera collector. i have several lomo cameras and this one is my favorite by far. i actually have several cameras from other companies too and the camera i carry with me everywhere is my lomo. i have had this camera for more than a year and i've never had a problem with it. it's really easy to use. but what i think is most important is how beautiful the images are. i love this camera.

Take your Lomo to Burning Man

I am a long time attendee of the Burning Man festival in Nevada. I love going each year, and since I got my Lomo, it always goes with me. When you spend a week in a city full of neon, LED lights, art cars, and things on fire...you NEED a Lomo. Nighttime shots are amazing, and captures the surreal quality of this event to perfection. Daytime shots are crisp and lovely, with the desert sky a brilliant blue.
It took me a year to 'eyeball' the distances for good focus, but now that I have a handle on that, most of my pictures come out amazing...and even the blurry ones look good!
If it weren't illegal or immoral, I would sleep with my Lomo.

Yeahhh Just Shoot it.

I bought mine an old version and im lovin it. Taken 4 rolls of films... altho it didnt come out as vivid as i hoped for (probably cuz of the cheap films i bough in bulk), the slight vignette and grain effects were fascinating!Im still trying to get used to the settings, altho its not neccessary. Highly portability is what i liked most.. bring it anywhere everywhere! Although I would like to know which Film brand works best with the Lomo effects... please do inform me if u know, Thx.

Overall, its a great buy for casual shots. LOMOFY urself guys!
LOL.

Love the photos, Hate the camera

Theres a reason this is called a "bad camera" or a "toy camera".

It is by far the most well made camera that Lomography has put out and it is still a piece of junk. I've had two screws fall out already. I'm planning on taking it to a watch repair place to see if they can replace them tomorrow.

Go for an olympus XA2 if you can find one on ebay, they are cheaper and the images come out about the same.

I was given a Lomo Crate with about 15 different lomo cameras in it, The only one in there I would recommend using is the SuperSampler. I have 3 of them and they're pretty solid for a toy camera.
