Ok. This may make me unpopular but I just have got to say it. Most of the Lomo cameras that have achieved cult status are just a bunch of shoddily made, over-hyped and exhorbitantly priced toys. The action/cybersampler has nothing to do with the Russian factory; it's made in China. QC is non-existent for this camera, and don't be surprised if your camera was a total lemon to begin with.
Here's a well-argued piece against Lomography, written by a 20 year old camera aficionado:

That said, the 4-lensed camera can be fun to play with, but unless you have lots of dough, stick to the cheaper Lomo-lookalikes. The quality is probably as good (bad?), if not, better. and my guess is that it's so unpredictable, you'll outgrow of it quickly.
Just my $0.02's worth!
