Kodak 66 Model III
written by msnicks on 2011-02-15 #gearDespite all the money I've spent on all my cameras, the one I inherited has proven to be my favourite. Take a look at one of Kodak's last folding cameras. Produced between 1958 and 1960, this oldie has produced remarkably reliable and incredibly crisp photos. Plus it looks awesome.

The Fed Experience - A Fed 3 Review
written by achocolatemoose on 2011-06-07 #gearI ordered the Fed 3 without much thinking. Its looks had me at hello. I wanted a rangefinder camera for quite some time and only when the little guy was already on its way I started to really pay attention to reviews written on Lomography. And what I saw kind of scared me. I was in for a heavy old camera with a mind of its own.

Mixing 400 ISO with 800 ISO
written by rancliffhasenza on 2011-02-26 #gearI bought a Lomography 800 ISO film this winter, just to try it out. As I put it in my LC-A, I found out that the ISO settings reach to 400. I got a bit frustrated, although I still hoped that the film could come out well. And actually, it did!

A Favorite to Cross-Process: Kodak Ektachrome E100G
written by weihsuan on 2011-08-09 #gearKodak Ektachrome E100G is a professional slide film from Kodak. Although quite well received for E-6 processing, I personally prefer to cross process it. Colors are not wildly shifted, just basically saturation and increased contrast. Do try this if you prefer the colors to be preserved and enhanced!

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.
