lomographic junk
I purchased the camera on 8/2/06 and shot a roll of film over the course of about 2weeks, when I was finished I tried to rewind the camera and it would not rewind, the film was exposed and ruined. I thought I had done something wrong so I shot another roll of film with the same rusult,the rewind did not work. I reread camera instructions and looked up rewinding instructions on the internet. Like an idiot I shot a third roll of film,the camera is defective"; a piece of junk. I am out 3 rolls of film and irreplaceable photos.

Exciting Way to Take Pictures
If you are looking for a fun, exciting new way to take pictures,
definitely give the Lomography Action Sampler a try. What you get is a photo that is in quarters, so four little photos in one all taken rapidly (they say one second!) apart from each other in sequence. You can get really fun action shots - jumping or just moving the head, funny faces, swinging hair, waving - the possiblities are endless!

I'll agree with the other reviews that suggest using high speed film (400 works best for me), when I first got the camera, I put regular old 100 speed in and most of the shots were a little blurry. They still looked really cool, but with the higher speed film, you get much sharper images.

Another tip I learned is that when you drop the film off for processing, it's a good idea to tell them that you are printing film shot with a Lomo. My processing place told me that a lot of times they just try to make sure the center of the print is in focus while processing, but with this film the center is four corners of your pictures (hope that makes sense!) so it takes a little more effort on the technicians part to get good prints from your negatives.

All in all, I am absolutely in love with my Lomo Action Sampler. It travels in my purse daily and I get some great shots! I couldn't ask for anything more.

Fun--but get close, I mean reeealy close
This is a fun camera for action shots. You need to be 3 feet or less away from your subject or you get some really sketchy results.

We had a lot of fun with this for our xmas photos.

my first lomo experience
i stumbled across these lomo cameras on the amazon.com website. they sounded fun so i ordered this particular camera. wow! i was pleasantly surprised with the different effects you can achieve by "shooting from the hip". definately use 400 or 800 speed film and definately take it everywhere you go. the case of the camera does seem like a cheaply made camera but WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE PICTURES THAT YOU WILL GET. definately worth the money and i will definately order more lomo specialty cameras....got my eye on the fisheye camera!
