Lomography OKTOMAT Compact 35mm Camera with 8 Serial Lenses

This is a cool addition to your camera bag, it is a cooky cool way to create “Art”! 8 little shots, you’ll need to pay for the largest size prints allowed by your budget though to get the full 8 piccie effect, on each frame. As with all Lomo effect cameras the colours are skewed, the pictures are not bitingly sharp (getting a high res 35mm film helps though), and the effects are very much hit and miss, but the hits are superbly bizarre. Once you see the effect you’ll be hooked, it is really a basic wind, point and click, hear the classic “whirrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzclick” sound and you are done! It works best with a moving subject, crowd scenes, pets, kids, etc…. I took some shots at a hippy market in Totnes, UK and the results were great! Really odd and strangely unwordly. I took some straight shots with a Nikon D70 too and although these were interesting, the Lomo brought out the spaced outedness of the scenes, the colours and movement are pure Lomo. I love it and so will you too, for this price it is worth the gamble! Pop one in your pocket and whenever you come across a scene with bright colours, movement, shifting patterns the Lomo 8 lens camera will come into it’s own. Shoot low to avoid 8 pictures of the sky and the tops of people’s heads. Keep the wrist strap away from the front too.

I’ve had this camera for about 3 months and I think it’s very unique and is definitely worth trying out. The only thing that I can think of that is a disadvantage is that it doesn’t have a flash- you must take all pictures in sunlight or they don’t turn out. It’s really fun to take pictures of things like birds or cars on the highway because you get a completely different image in each of the eight images. I would recommend it for anyone into art.

mine broke first roll. and it destroyed the film. it’s a total piece of plastic junk and waste of money. it should cost under $1, or be in a gumball machine somewhere.

This product could be a really great medium of art, but it’s too cheap. For one, it has no flash, which forces you to look out for sunny days to use it. Secondly, it broke on me during my second role of film. Not too surprising, being that it is made of cheap plastic. Invest in a lomo camera with a flash and durability.

I was so excited for this camera but it broke right away (30 secs after opening it) and I have experience with cameras. I think it is just badly made. My 80′s camera made out of plastic lasted a long time but this is cheap plastic. I loaded the camera and it would not advance and I was careful. This would have been so much fun. But I will just take tons of pictures with my old SLR camera and work with that.
