Chris Burke Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I think this camera rocks. I bought one and have shot about 8 rolls with it. But now the take up reel is acting up. I have to exchange it. Your video is the best I've seen in quite a while. How did you scan it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt scan it personally, they did everything for me at the processing shop ~ it was dirt cheap as well, only 40 HK Dollars (about5 USD) for each film rolls including scanning etc! ;) Yes Lomokino is so much fun! I love it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Alderslade Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've enjoyed watching some of these films, its nice to see people embracing the grungy look film can deliver in a creative way. The camera seems quite limited for practical purposes though, slow lens and a short exposure time (considering its only 4 frames per second) I imagine limit its potential. But then the camera is cheaper than a 400' roll of 35mm motion picture film and sometimes limitations can be creative, like with the Pixelvision!

Matt Stevens Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would like to take one to Saigon this Spring and set it up on a rock solid tripod for a variety of city living shots. So far what I am seeing is under or over exposure on these instead of proper exposure. So the question is, how to get it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 2, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't think "correct exposure/focus" is really the idea behind the thing. it's interesting, and cheap enough, though to pick up and play 'round with. Hell I might even just grab one and point it at my fish-tank.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Keith Walters Posted January 3, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted January 3, 2012 what do you guys think of this 35mm camera? :) Kevin That's excellent. Even on YouTube, film looks better. I can see another "Die Einfell" parody coming up: Officer #1: "Mein Fuhrer...." Officer #2: "The video was..." Officer #1 (terrified): "The video was shot on a LomoKino..." etc etc :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way you can find out what kind of scanner and how they did it. It looks like they might have cropped a bit or did you? In order to stabilize the image. Probably the sharpest lomokino footage I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
