Lomography 360 Spinner review

[18maricar]

What does DEV mean?

[horganator]

@18maricar "Dev" is short for "Develop", meaning to run the film through chemicals and "fix" the images as either negatives or transparencies, which you can then scan and print.

[SibelleOz]

best review on the 360!!

[kopparskol]

Do you put the camera to R mode when you don't shoot? Or do you just leave it on sunny or cloudy between the shoots?

[jetrockers04]

Thanks for the great review video and helpful tips!

[Harleeeeey]

How many pictures can you take with one film ?

[horganator]

@Harleeeeey It depends on how hard you pull the cord, which determines how far round the top spins and how much film is exposed each time. I can't remember to be honest and all my negs have been cut up. Not many though - maybe eight from a 36 exposure.

[billbobkid2]

nice teeth

[horganator]

@billbobkid2 Yeah, I think so too. Thanks for the compliment :-D

[sunshineloveshappy]

What if you load the film in when its set to R.... can you just change the mode to sunny or cloudy after wards ?

[horganator]

@sunshineloveshappy Yes, you can change the sunny/cloudy setting between shots on the same roll.

[selenelele1010]

what if your computer doesnt have negative mode?

[horganator]

@selenelele1010 If you scan them yourself, you need a scanner that can scan negatives.

[chaosspacemarimarine]

I think I would just let them develop the negatives without cut then ask them to print the picture in separate peaces and i'd stick them together on a thick piece of paper

[Ueski]

whats a good scanner that would work ? i really want to get and use one of these i just don't know how to scan them in or get em deeloped.

[tinaqyj]

would you teach me how to convert after i scan the negative film in my computer to a regular color picture? ( i used the regular scanner) thank you so much

[horganator]

@tinaqyj Hi, if you use a "print" film as I did here you'll end up with negatives. These should be scanned with a scanner that has a negative mode (and a backlight). The scanner will handle the colours and give you a normal colour scan.

If you use "slide" film, you'll end up with colour transparencies. You'll need a backlight on your scanner, but they won't need to be converted to colour.

I don't know if it's possible to scan a neg as a trannie and convert it in Photoshop. Anyone else?

[Cycycycyk]

that was nice, i envy you

[emzoii2009]

how did you develop the photos? can you actually get them developed as a really long photo or do they only come out as a long negative? THIS VID WAS A HUGE HELP btw. you're great!

[horganator]

@emzoii2009 I don't know of any lab that will develop and print them as a long photo. Part of the problem is that they all come out at different lengths, depending on how much the camera spins (it can spin more or less than 360 degrees).

I'm planning to print mine on A3 paper, crop them and laminate them myself.

Glad you enjoyed the video :-)

[horganator]

@cwyeung912 You weren't listening closely were you? I mention that in the video.

[goggishdotcom]

Does it come in digital? I'm familiar with the debates between old and new, but still curious...

[horganator]

@goggishdotcom No, analogue only.

Some of Sony's new digital cameras (such as the NEX-3, NEX-5, and Alpha a33) have a good "sweep panorama" mode that's about the closest thing to this in digital form, but they'll only do about 180 degrees.

[kapperlmensch]

yay! great review thanks! i just read about this one in a magazine and couldn't quite imagine how this would work. have you ever tried it with a black/white film? :)

[horganator]

@kapperlmensch Thanks. I haven't used B+W film in it yet, no. Must do that soon.

[adamax08]

a very important question to me: how do you scan it ?

[richyskrayz]

@adamax08 the lomo shop now bundles the spinner with a scanning mask called the digitaLIZA

[shannast4869]

awesome review! answered all my questions

[ryoizard]

nice shots, buddy!

[horganator]

@ryoizard Ta!

[ilmatteo95]

nice review, nice pics and beautiful eyes by the way

[horganator]

@ilmatteo95 Thanks. That makes a nice change from people criticising my teeth ;o)

[ilmatteo95]

@horganator ;D

[Dan1ukDSJN]

2:43 Richmond Green? :)

[horganator]

@Dan1ukDSJN Correct! Have two points.

[suspected94]

Wooow From 1:40-1:49 i hear a Woman speaks in Bulgarian.

Where did you take these Photos?

[horganator]

@suspected94 I wondered if anyone would recognise that. It was in Richmond, Surrey, England.

[matucana4]

with what camera are you recording?

[horganator]

@matucana4 This was recorded on a Sanyo Xacti VPC HD2. I don't think they make that any more but the Xacti range is still going. It's a good camera, does 720p HD, and has a good macro focus for close-ups.

What I don't like about it is that because of its shape, it won't stand up on its own, so you need to hold it or use a tripod. Also because of its shape, it can topple over quite easily on a small tripod. The lens is angled upwards, so you need to point it down a bit, which unbalances it.

[matucana4]

@horganator thank you for your answer. You made a good description of it and quite clear. Nice vid.

[eleven38]

@matucana4 is there a digital version of this??? ty

[gaban50ribu]

thank you for the review! my spinner is coming in 2 weeks, can't wait to give it a try! =)

[flippytunes]

[evilev4]
