LomographyDigitaLIZA 35 mm Scanning Mask - Anti-Slip Pads Version

i stumbled across these lomo cameras on the amazon.com website. they sounded fun so i ordered this particular camera. wow! i was pleasantly surprised with the different effects you can achieve by "shooting from the hip". definately use 400 or 800 speed film and definately take it everywhere you go. the case of the camera does seem like a cheaply made camera but WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE PICTURES THAT YOU WILL GET. definately worth the money and i will definately order more lomo specialty cameras....got my eye on the fisheye camera!

Its an awesome camera! It works great and is very cool. Great quality pictures and nice effects! Im very pleased with this product.

Okay, let's be clear about something. The Action Sampler is not a Lomo despite it's being sold and branded by Lomography.com. It IS a toy camera. What you get are 4 frames, each timed 1/200 of a second apart on one frame of 35mm film.You do not get focus, ASA/ISO controls, shutter speed controls or anything other than a very basic light sensor that determines whether or not the flash fires and the flash itself which is supposedly synchronized to the shutter, although I'm not convinced that it actually is.The four frames are cool but that's this camera's one trick. It's all it does. The optics are terrible quality. If you're old enough to remember the old Instamatic cameras with the 110 film cartridges and the terrible resolution they had, well, this will make you feel all dated and nostaligic.That said, this camera is a blast. You can take pictures of movement but because the lenses all point in slightly different directions, it's you can shoot still images and get 4 very different photos to choose from. And if you like the lo-fi picture quality or the subtle Andy Warhol-esque look of your new 4 framed pictures and don't care too much about getting a really good picture, you'll have a wonderful time.The lenses are focused at "infinity" meaning everything after a few feet is in in focus. Close-up/macro stuff is out of the question. As far as ASA/ISO, I use 1600 or 800 and have it pushed one stop in the lab (effectively making it 1600 with artifacts) or the pictures come out too dim in anything other than the brightest sunlight. That's right, indoor shooting or shooting in the shade is out unless you use really fast film, which also degrades the detail quality.Like the Lomo LC-A and LC-A+, there is a little vignetting but this is not a Lomo and you shouldn't order one thinking that it is. The Lomo LC-A is it's own delightfully weird little camera and takes brilliant shots that put this little toy to shame. The action sampler is also about twice as big as a real Lomo.Think of the Action Sampler as a great nearly disposable party/road trip camera. More fun to use with your friends than alone. If I lost mine, I am not certain if I would replace it but I have seriously considered buying a bunch and giving them out as stocking stuffers next holiday season.This is a 2.5 star camera but I'm giving it a 3rd star because of how much fun it can be. Not a serious camera but a really fun toy.

This guy was a long time coming. I got the original Actionsampler a few years ago, and always wanted to shoot it indoors. Alas, all of my attempts came out pretty grainy and dark.Enter the Actionsampler Flash. I've been basically married to this buzzing little thing - it's awesome! The mechanics are smoother and the images are a lot sharper then the original Actionsampler. And, the four-step flash is great - it's fast as lighting and surprisingly strong. This item is really dope at a concert or party.A few suggestions for prospective buyers...1. Definitely buy this over the original Actionsampler. It's like night and day.2. Use 400 or 800 speed film - that shutter moves fast, and anything slower might blur your images (unless you like that).3. WAIT for the flash to charge fully and the ready light to come on. It can take about 12 seconds or so. If you fire before the flash is recycled, then one element might not flash and you'll get a black frame.

This is what'll happen when you buy this camera:1) you'll have fun with it for a short period of time2) it'll break and that's that.

The media could not be loaded. Compre este producto sin muchas expectativas pero la verdad que me sorprendió lo fácil de utilizar y lo rápido que es para colocar los negativos de 35mm y escanearlos de inmediato con los bordes. Le da un look muy original y bonito a mis fotos.

My friend had purchased the action sampler before me and I was instantly entranced by it's sleek look so after reading a few of the reviews on here,I decided to order one for myself.I also had another lomo camera[the fish eye] and thought that since the pictures taken with that one came out pretty cool,the action sampler ones would too.Lomography did not fail me!The camera arrived on time in perfect condition and I started click click clicking away.It comes with a roll of 36 exposure film and its own batteries which was convenient.Unfortunately i only got half of my film from the first roll since an idiot in my class opened the back and exposed my film so make sure you don't make the same mistake I did.Overall the pictures came out really trippy and awesome!In most of them,each frame differs and even in those that don't,the final product is great.I would advise on always using the flash and though it says the closer you get the better,that's not true because unlike the fish eye if you get too close,the picture will be of just the person's cheek or w/e.I highly recommend this camera especially if you like pictures that are random and not just myspacey!

I gave this as a gift and it was faulty and didn't work. Wouldn't recommend.

Vediamo i problemi in ordineIl primo problema si presenta proprio nel posizionare l'oggetto sul tavolo dove volete lavorare. Per farlo bene l'oggetto in posizione "aperto" dovrebbe essere piano, invece come potete vedere dalla foto 1, che gli ho fatto mettendolo sottosopra, non lo è. Quindi non poggia bene rendendo tutte le operazioni più difficili di quanto non siano già come vedrete leggendo il seguito. A questo però potete rimediare mettendo uno spessore di alcuni mm sul tavolo dove andrà a poggiare la parte superiore, ma è una "toppa" che un prodotto del genere e di questo costo non dovrebbe richiedere,Il secondo problema, indubbiamente più grave, è proprio nella funzionalità base di posizionare la pellicola e qui rimedi non ce ne sono.La pretesa del costruttore sarebbe quella di poter inquadrare anche la parte "dentata" della pellicola e per fare questo è ovvio che rimane uno spessore minimo per fare una buona presa sulla pellicola che richiederebbe, e neanche basterebbe, una pellicola perfettamente piana.E anche così facciamo due conti facili.La parte visibile che verrà inquadrata è di 33mm (vedi in foto 2 la linea rossa con le frecce), la parte invece dove "andrebbe a poggiare la pellicola è quello fra i dentini di sopra e di sotto indicato con una linea blu (sempre in foto 2 e sempre con le frecce alle punte). Questo tratto blu conta, come è giusto che sia, 35mm quindi il costruttore conta di tenere la pellicola ben posizionata con 1 solo mm per lato.Vi assicuro che anche con una pellico spianata al 100% è un esercizio molto difficile e con le pellicole che si hanno a casa il risultato lo vedete nell'ultima foto 3.Sarebbe stato saggio rinunciare ad una piccola parte del bordo dentato (che non credo interessi a tutti), ad esempio destinando invece che un solo millimetro sopra ed uno sotto destinandone 2 sopra e due sotto.La presa sulla pellicola sarebbe stata migliore , la speranza di avere un effetto "spianante" anche quella maggiore ... e magari funzionava,Così rimane un oggetto come da titolo: robusto, con una buona idea dietro ma che nella pratica non funziona per una errata scelta delle misure.Un vero peccato.2 stelle solo per la buona volontà

Wir haben nun bereits unser 3. Lomocam-Model.Die entstandenen Fotos sind echt nett. Jedoch haben wir bei allen 3 Produkten das gleich Problem: die schlechte Qualität.Alle 3 waren nach spätestens 1 jahr defekt oder hatten grobe Mängel (Schließklappe nicht mehr dicht, weshalb Licht auf den Film kommt, etc.)Wir werden uns keine Lomocam mehr zulegen

It`s a really good camera as a joke, because really fun to use it, but I am not use to film camera anymore, so it will take a while before I`ll develop the film.
