@desolationcinderella that is great - enjoy it! I might organise Lomo 'big day out' event for us all.

I would not go as far to call it a toy.

@ITSbigwillystyle I'm troubled by the fact it cost me £40 and the advance winder broke within 5 min of opening this badly made camera. They could at least upgrade/troubleshoot the inner workings of a camera 'worth' that sort of money.

I own this, but I'm still troubled by the fact I payed 60 bucks for it

Wait, how do you take two photos on top of each other?

And how do you NOT take two photos on top of each other? :')

@amyleemarie cool. Never heard of that shop, font think they are in australia. All developing and printing shops can burn to disc in my experience. Enjoy!

@thatnikonguy thanks dude, you're awesome. yeah, i guess i shouldn't care about the sharpness! but the guy made it seem like a huge difference, so it made me concerned. however, i've seen pics taken the diana mini though and they look just as nice. plus, as you said, medium format is definitely not as convenient or cheap. so i thinkkkk you helped me make my decision. i'm going for the diana mini :] thanks! 1 more question: can the people at cvs/walgreens put the pics on a cd for me?

[thatnikonguy]

@amyleemarie I go for cheap and nasty films, or ingres sold at lomo stores. Sharpness is not a reason to buy these cameras! :-) they are all low tech and retro. The f takes much larger film, mauve a lot more to pay in film and developing. I put mine to cd. No troubles with film.
