I wont leave a detailed review as many of those can be found on youtube regarding this camera. The camera is all plastic and one can feel it. But it os not like it is badly made or anything like it feels solid but not something I would recommend dropping. Fun to use and just like many Lomography products getting the right exposure can be tricky at times buy then again. It is Lomography so it should not matter :-)
This camera is nearly flawless! I can't recommend it enough. Here are some of my favorite things: focusing is really good; bulb setting lets you take long exposures; you can turn off the flash (which you cannot do on the fujifilm wide); awesome extra lens attachments like wide angle & close-up; multiple exposure setting; and even a socket to connect an external flash! Read up on the specs & you'll realize this camera blows away any instax camera Fuji makes.
The camera and the features are awesome. I’m a full time photographer and got this to replace the shooting I did in studio with a land camera and peel apart film as it’s now discontinued. Love that it can be connected to my strobes. All the features are great and better than Fuji. However, this camera is nearly impossible to frame and compose properly! You basically have to blindly shoot and hope you even come close. The viewfinder is nowhere close to showing you how the photo will be composed. I’ve wasted so much film due to this. If anyone has any pointers I’d love to know! Also really tough to get an unblurry photo. Focusing and distance is all guesswork. Fuji Instaz cameras kill this in the cons I stated above. The features that I love are a moot point if you can frame or focus a photo.
Does anyone else have the issue of the film black protector not being able to come out as the first shot?
Whenever I click to release it (after putting a brand new pack of film inside) the black sheet ALWAYS gets stuck and NEVER comes out the way it should... it jams somewhere and I now have to open to camera to take the film out and pull the rest of the black sheet out by hand....
Mind you, this causes the first 2 shots to be completely unusable due to the exposure of opening the camera after the film has been loaded...
I thought it was just because it was the first time using it.... but no! I’ve replaced 3 different sets of film and it has happened to ALL 3 of them!!! That’s 6 films that have gone to waste because I didn’t want to give up on this camera...
I’m really hoping it’s a defect of the camera and that I can get a replacement because I’d really love to be able to shoot w all the different features it offers...
Die Kamera ist schon echt ein cooles Teil. Es macht sehr viel Spaß damit zu fotografieren. Zwangsläufig befasst man sich auch wieder mehr mit den möglichen Einstellungen, Bildausschnitt, Lichtsituation usw., da ja nichts gelöscht werden kann bzw. weil man halt mit dem Auslösen bereits alles fix macht... Dafür hat man dann sofort tolle Unikate in der Hand und nicht nur auf dem Handy, auch das größere Format finde ich Klasse... Meine Familie und ich sind begeistert, es macht einfach richtig Spaß!!!
LE lomo wide vient remplacer un instax wide ( déjà 2 en panne) !L usage permettra de voir si le lomo est plus fiable..En terme du qualite photo les images produites par le Lomo sont tres proches de l instax... l avantage déterminant du Lomo est son objectif d origine qui voit deja plus large que l instax , mais surtout le complément optique grand angle! .'.' Ultra grand angle...on est proche je pense du 20 mm au format 24x36 et du 14mm en reflex Aps. Et ca change tout..Ca permet de faire vraiment des photos différentes... plongée, contre plongée, et premier plan indispensable... La mise au point est délicate avec le complément optique macro photo rapprochée... pas facile à domestiquer.'.'. la pose longue géniale pour faire du light painting...'pouvoir décider de forcer ou non le flash est in vrai plus, ainsi que le correcteur d exposition. CEt appareil est plutôt destiné à ceux qui veulent se casser un peu la tête et réfléchir à leurs images si on les veut différentes. Les gélatines pour le flash sont pratiques.. ma préférence pour la jaune. Pour le splitzer, je conseillerais de ne faire que. 2 expositions, au dela ca devient tres aléatoires, L accessoires est bien conçu pour en faire d avantage. COnseil pour le mode surimpression sur l ensemble de l'image : regler sur -1.. Télécommande ultra pratique!!: Certes le prix est bien plus élevé que l'Instax Wide, Prohibitif si vous l utilisez comme un simple instantané, prix tout à fait raisonnable si vous explorer toutes les possibilités! Dernier COnseil en pose longue trépied ou support stable indispensable , et les meilleurs résultats qd il y a de la lumière à main levée..'
Old school style instax wide camera with so many creative options! Considerable amount of parallax as viewfinder is really far from the lens but with practise, you'll get dreamy and lomography style pictures. Took a while to get the framing right, especially for subjects that are close but worth the price. If you are looking for perfect looking pictures, this is probably not for you, instax wide 300 is probably better for you as a point and shoot.
