Say Hello to the first Lomo Movie Camera
Lomo, the company that resurrected its light-leaking, plastic fantastic 35mm film cameras from Soviet-era Russia, has now added a movie camera to its lineup.
Called the Lomokino, the hand-cranked camera also shoots on 35mm film, and thanks to its low framerate and non-full-frame captures, it manages to squeeze 144 frames onto a single 36-exposure roll. That’s enough for about 50 seconds of shooting.
Specs-wise, the camera has a variable aperture that runs steplessly from ƒ5.6 to ƒ11. The shutter speed is 1/100sec, the frame rate is 3-5 fps and the lens is a fixed 25mm.
To view the results, you’ll want to pick up the companion Lomokinoscope, which lets you crank the processed film to see it. Or you could ask your photo lab not to cut the film, then scan it yourself and feed it to your movie-editing software of choice.
*I swear I got to get this!*
