Is it as good as say, an eyemo 35mm movie camera? Nope. A Bolex? Abosolutely not. I have a really nice Bolex H16 that I never use because the film is hard to get and develop. I can buy film for the Lomokino at the supermarket and get it developed there(Ask them not to cut the negatives)or I can develop it myself in adaylight tank, which is how I did this film. Is it one of the forces driving the younger generation back to film? Yes. Is it fun? Oh yeah... I'm not sure I would bust the handle off an Arriflex or Bolex to crazy glue a nut on the side so I could use a cordless screwdriver to run it, but I did it without thinking to this camera. I also had no problem getting a crew together asap, and after had several people volunteer to help/act/crew in the next one. The 1st group called to say they really had fun, which really,is what it's all about. It's easier to use than Super 8, which I also love. For 79 bucks plus tax you can afford it. The negs-only option cost under 4 bucks to develop. Try that with 16mm at your supermarket. Also, I bought 1000 ft of 35mm BW for 20 bucks, which will make approx 60 minutes of film. Since I self develop , in theory I can make a One Hour film for under 100 bucks, camera and film included pre tax. try that with any other film camera setup.

This is shot entirely on Lomokino (save for the end credits) and edited Windows Movie maker...It's a great toy to get that 'Vintage look "

I am telling you guys,any 35mm movie camera you can get under 100.00 whether it's an eye-mo or Lomo kino is a good start. I bought one, hacked it to drive it with a Crappy Tire cordless screwdriver (under 20 bucks new)and it will crank the drive at 200 rpm steady.Then you can make scenes like this The possibilities for more are there.
