Lubitel 2: A Lubitel 166+ Minus 164
A much cheaper version of the Lubitel 166+ and in my opinion, just as good. A TLR which I feel is very underrated in the Lomography community and in the whole photography community. It has a nice bright waist level finder, sharp T-22 75mm f./4.5 lens, and very easy to use fully manual controls. -
The Dominant Brown Shades of Esselunga Films
Until last year, a chain of supermarkets were selling the Esselunga films (in 100, 200, and 400 ISO). I do not know if these films were actually produced by Ferrania with another name, as is often said. Probably yes, but I'm not 100% sure of this. The behavior of these films is interesting, especially if you use Russian and former East Germany (Helios, Pentacon) lenses, because in this case, your photos are characterized by a dominant brown / amber that is very pleasant. Take a look after the jump! -
Widelux 1500: A Whole Lotta Camera
When I got the chance to try out a medium format swing lens panorama camera, the Widelux 1500, it took my breath away. And it's not just because of the weight--almost 2 kg!

Kodak T-Max 400 35mm Versus the Competition
Back in May 2011 I reviewed Kodak T-Max 400 and praised its qualities with barely a bad word to say. I thought it would be interesting now to do a retrospective review and compare it to some other black and white film I've since had the chance to use. -

The 110mm Diana F+ Telephoto Lens: Get Close, and Get Dreamy
I have a love-hate relationship with my Diana F+ 110mm Telephoto lens. Of all the Diana F+ lenses I have, it’s the one I struggle the most with. But with a little persistence (and a little luck!) I’ve managed to take some of my favourite photos. -

Kodak FunSaver Camera 2005: A True Poop Cam
About half a year into my love-affair with Lomography, I stumbled upon an old Kodak disposable camera that I had bought in high school. The expiration date was set for 2005, so I thought it would be fun to take some random shots and see what the results would look like! Trust me, they're fun... but not that pretty. -
