Lomography always does a fantastic job breathing life back into the ever fading art of film photography. With the convenience and quality of digital cameras, analog film continues its decline but Lomography pushes hard to keep it alive by creating unique products to draw people back to the roots…

The first movie camera from the masters of throwback film photography
Taking the next great leap in their photographic evolution, Lomography has launched their first-ever movie camera. The LomoKino, which dropped today, is a compact, crank-powered movie-making machine that maintains the aesthetic and quality expected from the Lomo brand. Harkening back to the handheld crank cameras typical of home movies in the ’50s and ’60s, the LomoKino is a far cry from feature-packed HD setups you find in local electronics stores. As with all Lomo products, the LomoKino celebrates the beauty and romance of film while offering an amusing and experimental way to express yourself.
The LomoKino will work with any roll of standard 35mm film. The camera exposes the film in a constricted manner to turn 36 frames into 144 frames, giving the user about 40 seconds of movie magic. Other than an f/5.6 to f/11 aperture range, a “close-up” button and a hot shoe mount for Lomography flashes there aren’t a lot of controls to worry about and that is part of the point. The LomoKino is designed for the fun, playful and creative—it’s an exciting way to reconnect with the heritage of homemade movie-making while bringing the classic Lomo look alive in beautifully vivid colors, textures.
The LomoKino sells for $79 from Lomography or as a package with the LomoKinoScope, a viewfinder that lets you watch your movies right after processing, for $99.
Lomography adds an ultra-wide angle camera to their classic compact line
An exciting addition to their line of legendary analog cameras, today Lomography releases the Lomo LC-Wide. The continuation of the iconic LC-A+ line retains its classic aesthetic but adds greater functionality—specifically the ability to shoot ultra-wide angle photos.
Relatively compact in size, the camera sports a 17mm lens with three different shoot modes (full, square and half format) that allow photographers to snap extreme close-ups and extra-wide panoramic shots. While it promises to keep producing the shadowy, saturated shots of the previous generations, it opens up the playing field by greatly expanding range and flexibility.
The box comes packed with extra goodies including film, an instruction book and a Lomography portrait book. One accessory sold separately, and definitely worth picking up, is the Instant Back. Simply pop it on and transform the LC-Wide into an instant camera.
The LC-Wide is available from Lomography online or in any of their retail stores for $390 and the Instant Back retails for $25.
