5 comments about Holga 35mm Film Adaptor Kit for Holga 120 Medium Format Cameras.

1. This adapter is great, I don't have to cut any foam to hold my 35mm film in. If you want to get your film developed at walmart or wherever just use the 24 click method. I'd recommend this to anyone!



2. Received the adapter kit very promptly, and for a great price. Very pleasant shopping experience.



3. Great for taking pictures with Holga using 35 mm film. Holds the film firmly in place.



4. When you're working on a Holga using 35mm film, you do tend to lose some of the lomographic niceties you get when you are using either instant or 120 medium film. This adapter is good in that it fits over the exposure area, firmly keeping your film in place without being bulky or heavy. The image does not extend to the perforations with this adapter.



5. The 35mm film adapter for the Holga does work like you'd expect it to but it's not the easiest thing to deal with. It does come with a nice sticker to put on the top of your film advance wheel and that does work quite nicely actually, got them developed easily at WalMart's drop-off box. But the reason for me getting this was to save money from having to get 120 film developed and that reason is kinda gone. I found out that WalMart will develop 120 quite cheaply through it's drop off box which is a big plus and so it's actually cheaper to develop 120 film than the 35mm, the 35mm cost me a pretty penny to get done and the 120 is actually cheaper from what I hear. But with that said this product does work as advertised but there are two things I didn't like about it. Having to change out the film in a completely dark room was more hassle than I knew, I found only one room capable of this and it's only capable of this at night since light leaks in during the day and so it's not exactly convenient if you get to the end of your roll in the middle of the day. Also one other thing was the scratches across the film, I'm not sure if it was the adapter that caused this or a film processing problem with FujiFilm who did the pickup process from Walmart but it wasn't nice to find on my film.

5 comments about Lomographic Fisheye Number 2 Camera.

1. I just received my package today, and I ordered this Lomo fisheye number 2 camera.. as soon as i opened my package i was so disapointed because they sent me the wrong item!!!!! I was really pissed bacause i paid for the item i want but they didnt send it to me..they sent me the first version of this fisheye camera!.....im soo mad right now. Can someone help me on what actions i should do to get the right item because ive been emailing The ebasement they dont respond at all.!!!!!



2. This camera was everything I was looking for. I didn't think that analog, fisheye cameras even existed. I'm glad to have found this one. It's tons of fun =)



3. I am still trying to get the hang of this camera since I haven't used a 35mm in a very long time. Digital is all I have other than this. But taking pictures with it is so much fun. All the different effects and things you can do is great! They can come out absolutely beautiful or upon first glance really crappy, but then you take another look and you think, "That isn't so bad. I like how this camera makes things distorted and weird." I love the double exposure where images will overlay and look funky, as well.
   
   The only thing is the construction is very flimsy, it's all plastic with a little bit of metal (if it's even that) around the frame. It looks like a toy camera a kid could buy in Toys-R-Us... I think it's a little pricey despite the great effects you get with it.



4. This is a great buy. I didn't really expect such great image quality, in bright sunlight you get great results no matter what speed film you're using. In low light, I strongly recommend a hot shoe flash. I ordered my fisheye 2 with a replacement color splash flash. This combination leads to killer photos. The multiple exposure switch is a great addition, for even more amazing, trippy effects.
   The cons are size and lens cap. The size of the lens makes it difficult to carry around all the time, though it does fit nicely in a messenger bag. The lens cap is garbage, it falls off all the time, and is made this translucent silicone/rubber(?) material, I wish it was black, because I am quite compulsive and like to hit the shutter at random moments with the cap on. I find that wrapping the strap around the lens cap like a rubber band keeps it on just fine.
   All around, I still give this camera a 5, because the photos come out great, and its a nice alternative to purchasing the hundred and something dollar fisheye lens for the LC-A



5. I, like most people on Amazon, spent a lot of time browsing through other reviews when looking to purchase a fish eye camera. This one was the perfect starter fish eye to pick! I bought it as a gift, and I was shocked by the quality of the camera itself. It is very light weight and easy to use. The design is perfect, and I love how it looks! I'd tell anyone who is looking through the different models of fish eye cameras to buy this one. You won't regret it!

5 comments about Polaroid 600 Film Twin Pack.

1. It is close to impossible to get Polarooid film and i need it for work- thanks to you I got some;-)



2. I got my non-photographic boyfriend a Polaroid camera last year for Christmas, and we found that he had undiscovered talent!
   
   Since then, I have periodically bought him 3, 4, or 5 packs of film. This is the fastest I have ever gotten any of the film I ordered. He was able to take pictures on the weekend trip that I irresponsibly waited until the last minute to order film for. Thanks for making up for my short-comings!



3. I'm guessing that the Polaroid film will make a comeback. I used to by this film at CVS for a lot less than $38.95.
   I'm hoping it does make a comeback even though it was bought out.



4. I was so excited to find this film because I went to numerous camera stores and could not find the film for my camera! Quick shipment too!



5. Nada como una foto instantánea y el revelado de ésta frente a tus ojos... lástima que estén tan caras...

4 comments about Fujifilm INSTAX 210 Instant Photo Camera.

1. The 210 seems to be the same as the instax 200 but is a different color (black) and the 210 comes with a close up lens (which I have not been able to get anything in focus to come out of). I just received it and have put one pack of film through it. I have experience with all sorts of Polaroid cameras. The photo quality is similar to the 600 film with a little better color saturation. The main problem is you can't turn off the flash. I am trying to decide if I should return it or not. It seems capable of taking pretty good photos but the flash is washing things out. I'm experimenting with covering the flash with three fingers of my right hand while pressing the shutter button with my little finger... If it was $19.95 I would be happy with it but I am not sure the annoyance is worth almost $100. Hopefully the Impossible Project people will get that Polaroid film factory running again and Instax will become unnecessary.



2. This was a present I bought for my fiancee, and she loves it. She can't stop using it and snapping pictures of everything. We both are amazed by the quality of the pictures.



3. This is one of my favorite new instant cameras. I love the frame size and the quality of prints, but the actual camera body is very fragile. It is plastic, and I have had it break for myself and three of my friends. If you even slightly knock or bump it, it could shut off and stop functioning. I have had to replace two already. I love it so much, so i keep coming back. But, just know, you will have to be way more careful with this camera than any other camera I have ever tried using.



4. This camera is much bigger than you'd think, but it is going to work perfectly for what I need. I took a picture with it and it does pretty much exactly what you think it will; makes a noise and prints a picture. The picture takes a few minutes to develop but the kids I was babysitting got a huge kick out of it : )

5 comments about Polaroid Spectra Film Twin Pack.

1. This is an old film. I have opened the pack so I am keeping it. The colors are all brownish hue after curing. First I thought maybe the light or exposure, but its on all pictures taken any time.



2. My husband uses his Polaroid camera to take a photo of jigsaw puzzles when we finish them to keep a record. We have one on the den table all the time. We're retired and it's something to do when we get tired of yard work etc. He was very upset when he finished the last of the film he had purchased locally and couldn't find it. Noone carried it. I am the computer person so I decided to check the web and yeah I found you. I ordered the film for his birthday and he couldn't have been happier. We have a model railroad outside (garden railroad) and he takes quick shots when we finish an area. So thank you for continuing to carry this product. I suppose our Staples, Sams, etc. feel it is obsolete.



3. Only place to purchase this now of out of production product which I use in my ESL classes to group students by country and to ID them so that I can learn their names.



4. Film is expired by 3.5 years and only performs marginally. Nowhere in the product description does it state the fact that this is expired film. Colors are washed out and this product is not worth the money at all. On the other hand shipping was extremely fast. This technology is a dinosaur and this transaction proves it.



5. glad amazon is out there, because you can't find items like this in stores anymore.

2 comments about Lomography Black & White Negative 120mm Film 3-pack (Black/Grey).

1. I had two problems with this film when I used in conjunction with my DianaF+ that I don't have with other film providers: 1) The black backing makes it very difficult to see the frame number. It's easy to go past a frame, which wastes film. And 2) The film was difficult to wind. I don't know if that factor was the reason I had scratches on the developed film, but I suspect that it played a role.



2. Purchased this three pack from Lomo's website (Amazon and elsewhere are cheaper). The first roll I shot had serious difficulty winding and the frame numbers are extremely difficult to see - even in good light. When loading the film on the spool for processing I noticed how flimsy it felt (verses Kodak film which is all I had processed at this point). Once I scanned the Lomo film I noticed a ton of scratches. This is in part due to my Lomo Diana F+ which seems to scratch about everything I've shot so far, but this roll was even worse. The resulting images where very contrasty and had a nice grain (maybe a little too much for 100). I liked the shots that turned out - some have an almost "vintage" or "classic" look to them.
   The real issue I had is this - the other two rolls tore in the camera. After loading the film and advancing towards the first shot the paper backing ripped apart. This happened on one roll then on the other. I guess I could have attempted to use the film and advanced past the first shots - the fear of the whole roll having been exposed and potentially wasting time and losing images kept me from doing so.
   Again the roll that turned out yielded some great contrasty and grainy images reminiscent of old school black and white photography. I am not buying any more of this film based the lack of frame number visibility and the fact that the other two rolls ripped apart in the camera.

5 comments about Lomography Diana F+ Medium Format Camera.

1. Received camera broken. Lense broke away from camera body. It looks as though this was broken before shipping due to the way the camera was packaged.
   
   Returned this camera for a refund and subsequently bought another of the same kind from Urban Outfitters



2. i love diana cameras. i love holga cameras and i love lomography.
   
   i do not love this new version of the diana camera.
   
   i have tried several rolls of film and the camera will not advance properly and jams up at the center of the back.
   
   i am partially heartbroken as this was conceptually a brillant idea--to make a 'new' diana...but my advice: go to ebay and get a vintage or buy a holga as they don't have the problems i've experienced with this camera.
   
   at least mine came with the diana book so i don't feel completely ripped off :(



3. I love this camera! The medium format is probably my most used and adored film format and this camera can do just about anything. B&W, color, whatever! It's also a pinhole, which is fantastic because you can have color pinhole photos and have one or two on a role and just keep switching it out. I highly recommend buying some of the other lenses that go with this but come separately. Also, I purchased the ringflash, which adds another dimension to your creative capabilities. If you get the 35mm attachment, you're really in business! Yes, it's a bit expensive (these cameras originally sold for literally pennies when the first generation came out decades ago) but what you can do with these cameras is worth every modern day dollar!



4. After all the other reviews, I expected my camera to be either totally brilliant with awesome colors and such, or just a piece of crap. Instead, the pictures turned out fairly average, with only slight changes to normal - but only eight of them turned out, and it was about 5.50 to get them developed. Mostly, though, I like the way it looks, because it's super cute (And a lot bigger than I expected it to) But it wasn't bad, not at all :)



5. I just purchased this camera recently and saw my developed film. Its looks great! I recommend using the 16-shot frame mask to get the most out of your film. Take this camera everywhere you go. You will not be disappointed.

5 comments about Lomography Fisheye 35mm Camera.

1. Out of curiosity I bought one of this camera which said that it has a 170 degree Optical-Glass Lens but it actually has a PLASTIC lens. I hope someone from Amazon will change the Technical Detail and Specification of the AD. This lens can be easily scratched so be very careful. In fact mine camera came with a clear scratch on the side of the front element. I felt that a $40 for this plastic camera is a bit expensive. The only big merit to this toy is its 170 degree lens and the kind of images you can take will cost you a few hundreds dollar more usually for a real optical Glass lens.



2. Nice camera for fun snapshots... give a great fisheye effect. It's much cheaper than an actual fisheye lens for a digital camera, but about the same image quality as a disposable camera, so don't expect the sharp images that you'd get with a real nice camera. Maximum fisheye effect occurs real close to the subject (within a foot or so... but not too close as the subject will then become blurry), but you still can get a nice effect if you take pictures from further away (although if you get too far the object will become tiny or even invisible).
   Be prepared to buy a lot of film and spend money getting them developed though (especially when you're first getting started and want to take some test pictures, as it's mostly luck how good the pictures turn out). I can say that they do improve with experience. You really do need to get used to the flash... it must be used while you are indoors, but it's a little bright so it might make the subject look blown-out. Best thing to do would be to cover the flash with something (like a napkin) to lessen its strength, or just to only use this camera outside on bright, sunny days.
   A warning though, this camera is made of plastic... and after several uses, the knob to wind up the film (when you run out of exposures and want to remove the film from the camera) broke off on mine. The camera is still usable... but it's a pain taking the film out now.
   One last thing I like about this product... you can buy the Lomography Fisheye Submarine Case (Clear/Red) to use this camera underwater, in which you can get some great shots.



3. This is such a fun camera and I was so happy with the first roll of film I developed. I'll be honest, you have to experiment with the camera in order to get the optimal fisheye shot. It's obviously not as fantastic as a real fisheye lense on a (D)SLR but for $30, it beats having to buy a $800 camera and a $300+ lens. The majority of my college campus is built of bricks so pictures on campus are amazing. I love this camera!



4. This is a camera to have fun. I'm waiting to finish the film, so i can see my pictures.



5. The rewind mechanism broke on the second roll of film, rendering the camera useless, and I lost a roll of film in the process of figuring out what was wrong.

3 comments about Fujifilm INSTAX MINI Film Camera (Pink Trim).

1. I've had a slight obsession with polaroid cameras for years now and have been wanting one for quite some time. I recently received this Fujifilm instax mini 7S instant camera with the pink trim and I was instantly OBSESSED with it. The pictures are an adorable credit card size and the quality really isn't terrible by any stretch of the imagination. Everywhere I take it people become infatuated with it and my pictures have all turned out great. It's very easy and fun to use. I would enthusiastically suggest it to anyone!



2. my girlfriend really loves it, but the film was missing
