What's the best general use Lomo camera I can buy for under £100? Can't make up my mind which one to get.
Anyone got the Fed 5 B or Seagull 205A?

Anyone recommend shelling out the extra cash for the LC-A?

correct me if i'm wrong. but isn't there just one current lomo camera (the lc-a)? the other ones aren't from the same russian manufacturer as the lc-a right? they are just sold by lomography.com hence the confusion with lomo? could be wrong though. talking about lomo. they should make a digital version of the lc-a, same crappy lense and lightmeter but with a digital back. maybe it'll get too expensive. but still. i stopped using lomo and switched to digital because i spent a fortune on developing and contact sheets.

did you check ebay or something? are a lot cheaper than new. and the camera is so lo-tek that it hardly can brake down.

Ok I hate to admit it, what the hell is Lomography? I went to the site, and sense they were so intent on design I couldn't get the info. Baby i need the info!

it started by selling lomo lc-a's. the russian factory was basically bankrupt after lomography (if i'm not mistaken they are from austria) bought a shitload of lc-a's to sell online. to be honest the price is a bit too steep although i've really enjoyed the lc-a crappyness. anyways, it grew out to something a lot bigger with a platform etc. and they started to sell other camera's as well.

oh and the whole lomo and lomography got a bit confusing since they started selling other camera's under the name of lomography which caused people asuming that those we're lomo as well which they aren't. some have the same lense, some don't. and there is more to it than just the lense.
