I didn't know it was made by the same company as the Holga, I love the 120FN I got a while ago for medium format film. Even after taping it up, I still get some occasional light leaks. Distorted photography is fun to play with, and that is why I was asking about the Lomographic fisheye camera. I wanted to try a different camera to shoot with, because everyone in my color class has an SLR of some type, and quite often in photo classes you see a lot of the same type of photos.
Just because I want to play with a cheap camera, doesn't mean that I'm a pretentious tool. I process all of my black and white film myself, color I bring to the lab, because E-6 chemistry is easily contaminated and expensive. I'd rather let someone else do it.
I asked /p/ about the Lomographic camera because I've found a lot of useful information here. I actually took offense to being called a "trendy pretentious tool," but it's the internet, so I couldn't give less of a shit. I know the type of person you're talking about - there's a guy in one of my color classes who is a photo student because his girlfriend is, and hates color photo because we scan color slides into Photoshop and "computers are fucking gay."
Where are you finding them for $4? Even eBay had them for $50, the $40 I said in the original post was from B&H Photo/Video, who had the cheapest price I could find (I was also going to order a Tiffen 80A filter and a monopod from them).
If you really think that its a $40 piece of shit, and a total waste, then please give me reasons other than "it's made by Holga, you are a pretentious tool," then please, let me know. So far it seems to be of better quality than my Holga 120FN, as it has a fixed focal point and a glass lens (compared to the pathetic "focus" and plastic optics of the Holga).
Thanks for you input! (even if you were kind of a jerk about it)
