LC-Wide: A Review After One Year and 30 Rolls of Film
written by shuttersentinel17 on 2012-06-14 #gearWhen I first got my LC-Wide last year a few days after it was launched, I initially wanted to write a review about it after shooting a couple of films with the camera. Yet, something held me back -- I felt that this camera possessed so much potential and undiscovered talents in it -- something that would not be justified with just an article after only such a short time using it. I gave myself about one year to know the camera inside out before writing this review.

The Non-Lomographic Use of My Lomo LC-A
written by sirio174 on 2012-04-26 #gearThe last of the Ten Golden Rules of the Lomography says: "Don't worry about any rules." So, I use my old Lomo LC-A, which I owned from the beginning of the 90s, in a traditional way, not the "lomographic" way. Always think about the composition before taking a picture!

Agfa Isoly Junior - 50 Years On and Still Fabulous!
written by jojo8785 on 2011-07-09 #gearSo there it was. A vintage German camera sitting at a flea market stall. It had a brown cover and not much else. It reminded me of my Diana in an eerie metallic kind of way. The seller could not guarantee it still worked. For $8, I thought I'd find out.
