Customer Review: The One and Only
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply put, the Lomo Compact never leaves my side. With it's tiny size and that great metal lens cover, I have it in a bag or a pocket at all times.
Why? What makes this camera so special to me? Simply put - it's the images. I have no formal training in photography whatsoever, but I am able to shoot some of the most amazing images that I have ever seen with this little item. Surely, I shoot a few blurry and screwed-up pics as well, but the unpredictability is part of the charm. After you drop off your film, you can almost always expect to have a few images which are absolutely mind blowing. Using the camera is easy to grasp, although not too easy - so you still feel a sense of accomplishment after you "master" it. In my opinion, it's a perfect item for a beginner.
With all due respect to my Amazon peers, the reviewers who feel negatively about the camera are missing the point.
It's not made with the precision of a Canon or Nikon. It doesn't have the sharpness of a Zeiss or Leica. It's not the correct camera for someone who really wants to learn the technical in's and out's of photography.
But that's where the magic is. It's made in Russia by hand. The images it creates are beautiful and completely dripping with soul. Colors are super-strong, contrast is huge, and (defect or not) the vignetting effect is very cool. Outside of that, it's small, cute, easy to use, and has this awesome mechanical-oil smell.
If you want a normal, super-reliable Japanese cam that takes nicely exposed, in-focus shots every time, then pick one up.
As everyone else said, they generally have more technical features for a better price. If you want something truly unique, utterly beautiful,, and (at times) a little temperamental - then go for the Lomo. You won't be disappointed.
