THIS is camera porn.
they explain it way better than i ever would :
"It’s something about that plastic body. Something about peering down through that waist-level finder. Sizing up your subject with the top lens and capturing it through crispy glass lens with the bottom. It’s simply irresistible to people who love and adore life. People who are open-minded, enthusiastic, free with their ideas, philanthropic, endlessly curious, always travelling, constantly documenting,
and completely awestruck by the enduring power of analog photographs. In other words – people like you!
Shooting with the Lubitel+ is different than anything you have shot before. The combination of its glass lenses, the flexible 120 or 35mm format, fully manual everything, fully automatic nothing, peering into a waist-level finder, slowing things down with focusing and dialing in the correct exposure settings, and a myriad of other analog factors make it a full-bodied experience that activates all of your senses and brings you into a special and very intimate place.
Lubitel+ pictures have their very own look and special analog character. They’re more “professional” than any 35mm camera, but less professional than a Hasselblad. Of course they are sharp, crispy, artistic, painted with light, and grand. But they’re also occasionally random, sometimes too vibrant, often vignetted at the edges, and totally flexible to your wishes and innovative tinkering. Rather than reflecting the objective reality in front of you, they reflect the subjective reality of the Lomographer behind the camera. They will make you look twice.
Grab a seat, take our hand, and let us introduce you to this passionate twin-lens lothario."
need i say more??? *biting knuckles*
click here to see it in all it's glory. its a really sweet toy camera & at 50$ (or around 400 RMB) it was a bargain and seen as a toy - so i dont feel too too guilty.
www.lomography.com = is an all time top 5 fave. i've been receiving their weekly newsletter for quite a while for entertainment purposes and to see amazing photos - THIS is the 1st time i am really really sold on a product...they do have mad marketing skills. damn them.
i see what the lubitel does on flickr once in a while and it does produce magical images that have a wonderfully dreamy (japanese?) feel. this one would be more of an investment thats for sure...
