But it's just everything those cameras are not -- a serious camera for people who like to have full control of their shots.

written by nation_of_pomation on 2011-03-05 #gearNow that I’m college, one of my first missions was to find a photo lab, and I was lucky enough to find one that is also a camera store. While looking through their vintage cameras for sale, I happened on something I thought I’d see in person: a near-mint Horizon 202, the precursor to the Horizon 303 that Lomography’s Perfekt is based on.

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.

Zenit TTL - The Teddy Bear Tank
2009-07-30 #gearThis is my go-to camera when I need an extra bit of control. This SLR is heavy as a brick, clunky, and oddly comforting to hold. A bit of a tank. On the outside it looks much like it's older Zenit siblings, but it's the inside that counts.

Somebody's Trash is Someone Else's Treasure: Analogue Cameras Retrieved from the Dumpster
written by dux_x on 2012-06-01Listening to Garbage's album "Not Your Kind of People" and thinking about the meaning of their name (garbage is trash, but the band sounds great) I got myself remembering how many times someone threw away a camera (or any analogue device) believing it was trash at the same time that, for us, it's a treasure! Definitely, they are not our kind of people!
