I just bought somebody the lomography fisheye 2 camera for christmas and don't know what kind of film to get for it. I'm not like retarded, I do know that is uses 35mm and stuff, I just don't know what that means. I've only ever used digital.

Is that just normal film that I can get anywhere? I want to make sure I get the right stuff. Thanks.

go into a camera store and ask them because they will probably be more help than us.

Also you probably need some generic 400.

Well there you go, it's happening already. Even though it wasn't that long ago that film was the most common people are already forgetting all about it. That's a milestone question in my eyes.

Go into a camera shop and ask them and say what you want it for too.

If you can't figure it out yourself with the huge wealth of information freely available about the topic, you have no business owning a camera. Just give it away, digital too, and find a new hobby. Perhaps Russian roulette would suit you better.

I am actually giving it away. Thanks, I just wasn't sure if it needed some kind of fancy blackroom (iknownothingaboutfilm) stuff or something.

The end

what do you wanna shoot?

i use to have one of these when i wore tight jeans and tight black t-shirts with my ramones haircut trying to pick up indie girls with self-esteem issues at these concerts i use to help run. (i'm actually old enough to be pre-emo)

oh to be a teenager again.

Seriously though, these things suck cock. Shit. Absolutely shit. Fuckin scenester posers carrying them.

but back on track for B&W i used Kodak Tri-X 320, i didn't cross process so that was fine. For colour try sensie X pro, that shit was awesome... will be hard to find though.

Lulz.


Anyway, "35mm" is the kind of film it uses. It refers to the width (more or less) of the strip of film in the little cartridge. Just go out to your local grocery store or whatever and pick up some 35mm film--it's labeled as such. Also, it is by *far* the most common kind of film. If it says "Polaroid" in big letters on the front, you've got the wrong film; if it says "Advantix" in big letters on the front, you've got the wrong film; Otherwise, you've almost certainly got the right film.

Lomos and holgas are absolute poser shit. I have NO respect for anyone who goes on and on about "the art form" and "creative expression"

What a total lump of steaming shit, these cameras are absolute trash and you just got fleeced out of $50 or whatever you paid for it.

so um, what exactly is a lomo/holga? i thought it was just a different brand of camera - how different are they to any other SLR or normal camera?

iv heard many debates about them without knowing wtf they actually are.

Terribly overpriced toy cameras. They're loved by artfags everywhere.

he following are the company's "10 Rules of Lomography":

1. Take your LOMO everywhere you go and whenever you go.
2. Use it any time - day or night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
4. Shoot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
6. Don't think.
7. Be fast.
8. You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
9. You don't have to know afterwards, either.
10. Don't worry about the rules.


6. Don't think.
