Lomo Kompakt Automat

Belle&Sebastain · 25th July 2002

projectshopBLOODbros will be carrying the lomo kompart automat camera very soon to be launch in our boutiques. ITs on consignment basis so even i could not get a discount.

I was in the meeting for this camera today and i must say its quite a fun 'manual' camera. It features a 32mm wide-angle glass lens multi coated, a sub plastic/metal body in black colour.

It has a hotshoe mount, aperture of up to 16f ,ASA (ISO) 100-400 and adjustable focal point of 0.8m to infinity. The shutter speed is determined by the camera sensor. When shutter is depressed you will hear a click followed by a second click when the shutter closes. It could take very long exposures -salesrep claim he took a pics of bar lights in very dim conditions and the shutter opened for at least a minute, washed the film and it turn out nicely!

To view it, please go to www.lomo.com[/url]

I think its retailing for $339.90 (not confirm) and so far two of my colleagues express interest in it (for its cool retro feel!).

I was holding my FM2 side by side and told myself i have enough cams

.

Anyway its in very limited stocks so go see it when its release (next week i think).

Enjoy!

actually the lomo autokompact is being offered at ~$330 at the lomographic society headquarters here. You can also get it at the same price (+GST) at Kinokuniya.

it's a fun camera - doesn't always work all the time, but the colours produced on ordinary film are quite gorgeous.

My Store Manager told me that the ppl there all dress funny 'English' and have weird names like the guy who come up to give us a brief, his name is LITTLE.

Anyway, a little rant. Today i went up to 'teach' 10 people who know 'nuts' about camera the features of a manual cam and loading without even having a sample at hand. But i think i got them into the right track. Some of them even ask me what if they load a iso 100 film and dial a 400 on the cam. I say 'push it', they say, which button?
