“Don’t Think, Just shoot” is the Lomo motto. Back in print, this is the first official publication on the phenomenon of Lomography. The Lomo camera, which emerged from Russia in the 1960s, is cherished for its ease of use and immediacy. Because of its simple, quality glass lens and low-light sensitivity, it remains the tool for capturing the moment, and an antidote to all things automatic and digital.

Lomography now enjoys a vast international following with fan clubs, events, competitions, and galleries all over the world, plus an official website, www.lomography.com, where camera, films, etc. can be purchased.

Harnessing the best features of the original Lomo LC-A, and rising above it witha host of new capabilities the Lomo LC-A+ is simply the finest, most delightfully unexpected, robust, pocketable, vividly colorful, and soundly addictive snapshot camera of all time. First off, it's got the lighting-fast zone focusing and on-point automatic exposure of the original. Next, we faithfully & lovingly duplicated the original Russian Minitar 32mm f/2.8 lens - yielding the same radiant colors, the knockout contrast, the edge vignetting, the powerful multicoating, and the occasionally temperamental focusing of like the original. On top of that, it now offers a Multiple Exposure switch, expanded film ISO setting to 1600, and a cable release thread. Size: 4.25" (10.5cm) x 2.5" (6cm) x 1.6" (4cm) Weight: 0.65lb (0.3kg) Format: all 35mm (color negative, slide, b&w) Lens: Chinese-made Lomo lens Focal length: 32mm Available apertures: 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16 Shutter speeds: 1/500 to unlimited (via auto-exposure) Exposure: program automatic (selects aperture & shutter automatically) Multiple Exposure switch for unlimited shots on 1 frame Flash: standard hotshoe with second-curtain sync Standard tripod & cable release thread Film can be processed at any 35mm lab, supermarket, drug store, swapmeet, etc.

Visualize yourself bowled over by the devastating colors that only fine glass can deliver. The world's first honest-to-God Fisheye camera is here and waiting to swim into your life.

This little beauty is the one and only incredible four-lens-photo-photo-photo-photo ActionSampler. With one shot you get a series of four images on one print & a macro-movie to be relished online! Now even more robust, ultra-heated and, in its awesome packaging, the ideal gift.

The Action Sampler takes a great idea and turns it into a fun little camera. This camera uses four lenses to capture four different photos on one frame of film. The Action Sampler takes the photos a fraction of a second apart, creating an "action sample" that shows the sequence of motion. (Click on the "More Pictures" link at the top of this page to see sample photos that were taken with the Action Sampler.)

Brought to you by the same folks who produce the famous Lomo camera, the Action Sampler shares the Lomo's wacky, creative image--as evidenced in the glossy, photo-filled little manual that comes with the camera and is a work of art in itself. The Action Sampler is also a study in styling with its colorful, plastic see-through case. It doesn't have a flash and sports only a flip-up square of pink plastic to frame your photos. Everything is manual, including film loading, winding, and rewinding, and there are no settings to fiddle with.

As the manual blithely states, "The Action Sampler is not a finely tuned piece of apparatus made only of the finest in hand-crafted modern materials. It's made of plastic." In short, this means you shouldn't expect sharp, detailed pictures. However, you can expect truly unique, fun, and often striking sequences of photos. The Action Sampler uses normal 35mm film but needs plenty of light (outdoor photos turn out the best), so if you want to use it indoors, we recommend using a higher-speed film (ISO 400 or higher).

The Action Sampler is a blast to use, and it makes a great gift. While it has its limitations, its distinctive way of seeing the world is fun and exciting. --Holly Blumenthal
