Lomography
Lomography is a registered trademark of Lomographische AG based in Vienna . The cameras and films sold under this brand name are generally associated with the photographic technique of Lomography .
The name originated from the English translation of the German suitcase word Lomography , which is composed of the name of the Russian miniature camera Lomo LC-A and the term photography .
history
.jpg)
In 1991 a group of Viennese students discovered a model of the Russian compact camera Lomo LC-A on a trip to Prague . After the snapshots taken from the hip in combination with the partly blurred lenses found more and more fans and the students found more and more potential buyers for the LC-A, they founded the Lomographic Society International (LSI) in 1992 . At the end of 1992, the Vienna city administration provided you with a building in the 7th district of Vienna , where the first exhibitions took place and from where the LC-A cameras were also sold.
In 1994 the first version of lomo.com, a website for networking Lomography fans worldwide, went online. In 1997 this page was renamed lomography.com and expanded to include a shop and a community, which enabled the exchange of images and other projects. In 2015 the site underwent a remake, which made it easier for members to browse the more than 12 million photos and 50,000 magazine articles.
In 1998 they launched their first own camera, the Actionsampler, under the brand name Lomography. In 2001 the first Lomography Store opened in Vienna, where you could buy films, cameras and accessories. The next few years were marked by new models and films. Lomography stores have also opened in other cities. In 2012 the Lomographic Society International celebrated its 20th anniversary. In addition, a pocket film called Lomography was presented after all other manufacturers had stopped production in 2009.
Cameras
Lomography cameras are mostly characterized by their experimental character, but sometimes also by their cheap processing. There are cameras with nine lenses or cameras that also expose the perforation of the film. There is also a wealth of accessories for many models, such as lenses, flashes or underwater housings. Not all of them are listed here.

Lenses
In addition to cameras and films, lenses are now also sold under the name Lomography. In many cases, this involves adapting old lenses for new camera models.
New Petzval 85 type lens
The New Petzval 85 type lens is a new interpretation of the first portrait lens of the history of photography, the Petzval lens from 1840. After a successful crowdfunding campaign on kickstarter.com appeared in 2013, the lens with a focal length of 85 mm for the Canon EF and for the Nikon F bayonet . It has neither autofocus nor electronic contacts. The f-number cannot be controlled electronically or with an aperture ring, as is the case with a modern lens , but has to be regulated via plug-in apertures that are inserted into the lens. Apertures with f / 2.2, f / 4, f / 5.6, f / 8, f / 11 and f / 16 are available. The lens is manufactured by Zenit in Russia.
New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control Art lens
The New Petzval 58 Bokeh Control type lens is also based as the Petzval 85 type lens on the design of Petzvalobjektivs. It differs, however, by the shorter focal length of 58 mm and the larger aperture (maximum f / 1.9 in contrast to f / 2.2 with the Petzval 85 lens). In addition, it offers the possibility of having the bokeh turn out to be different degrees using a controller on the lens. The lens was again financed through kickstarter.com and there reached its financing goal of US $ 100,000 within three hours. It will be released from May 2016 for cameras with Nikon F and Canon EF bayonets.
Lomo LC-A MINITAR-1 Art Lens 2.8 / 32 M
The Lomo LC-A MINITAR-1 Art is a lens which Lomography sells based on the lens built into the Lomo LC-A . The lens is focused in the same way as with the Lomo LC-A: Using a zone focus (four levels: 0.8 m, 1.5 m, 3 m and infinite). The lens is only available for the M bayonet from Leica, but with adapters it can also be used on cameras with other lens connections.
New Russar +
The new Russar + is based on the Russar MR-2 super wide-angle lens, first introduced in 1958. The Russar + is a 20 mm f / 5.6 lens. It is available for the M bayonet as well as for the M39 lens connection . With the appropriate adapter, however, it can also be operated on other cameras.
