well i agree the lc-a is way too expensive if you buy it new. it's just that the whole lomography.com trend thing is behind it. then again, if it wasn't for them the lc-a's would have been oddities and prolly more expensive.

ya what I was trying to ask is how do u convert your photos to digital ?
- rabattski0
scanning it or outsourcing it. if the quality isn't good i would suggest using a better scanner or a professional shop who can do it for you.

A decent scanner. Myself I get the shop to transfer to CD as well as prints. If you're doing it yourself, try and scan from a good print rather than a negative - you'll get a better result I find.

Wow, this is cool. I had never even heard of lomography before I saw this thread. I ove old cameras, bought a praktika from eBay last year but it'd dead (all pics came out pure white, must have SERIOUS light leakage) Anyways, being a n00b, can someone please tell me: How do you get medium format film processed? I take it boots don't do that kinda thing?

its best to scan the negs. i use this :

Always take your photos to a real lab. The one hour thing is cheap and cheesy.
Of course - if you're going for that, then knock yourself out.
I'd be surprised if boots knew what medium format is.

the majority of my photos are taken with lomo cameras...i'm a huge advocate of their products and the movement itself, mainly because i get so much inspiration from the other artists on the their site. I think that's why their products are so expensive--not necessarily because they're trendy--but because they offer free hosting, and probably need to cover/justify their expenses...also, they have contests and give away lots of free products...if you're looking to get into photography and want to avoid the "what is the social context of your work?" elitists, this is a great way to learn about the medium and have fun in the process

"...i'm a huge advocate of their products..."
i thought the lc-a was the only lomo brand they carry / have. the other ones aren't made by lomo, russia.

superbaka - very nice. what film you shooting on?

thanks!i shoot on velvia/sensia mostly, 100 or 75 asa. thats positive film, of course.
since the lca creates tons of cool artifacts, you should shoot on as grainless stock as possible to not introduce more noise into the image..imho..

Boots wont do it. Jessops should. There's also loads of places in London that will do Medium format and more.
