My 4 quid Zenit E takes Pentax lenses.....though it came with a Helios 55mm.


I think I'm going to sell it on ebay with a Lomo tag on it for for 150 quid....unless of course anyone here wants to make me an offer....
3 quid?

I had one of those once too. I mean, it was fine but why wouldn't you want something better? If you can stretch all the way to ten pounds you can buy a functioning SLR camera - even one with autofocus!

Hmmm... looks like what I'd call quite a pleasant spot.

That second to last one... wow!

They look nice to me, could do with a bit of curves to brighten them up and give them a bit more contrast. Looks like a good flower lens!

I 'get' some aspects of lomography, but I'd rather shoot with a 'proper' 35mm or MF camera, and scuzz the image up in photoshop if I wanted the effect, than be tied to shooting scuzzy images all the time. You could get a nice Bronica for less than the price of your Lubitel, and I know which I'd prefer.

And down the 35mm route, you can get a good solid Pentax body for absolute peanuts...

If the magnesium shell was as thick as the plastic they use, it would indeed be heavier! Magnesium is stronger so the shell can be thinner (shaves a few mm off the camera dimensions too).

What worries me is what if you accidentally touch the camera with a naked flame, will it burn like a welder's torch?
