Fisheye 35mm Camera--the world's only 35mm camera with a built-in fisheye
lens--is waiting for you.
Hold on tight. Imagine everything above, below, and around you streaming
through your eyes and compacting into a nice little ball. Think about your
best friend's nose being vacuum-sucked into your lens, all the while their
eyes and forehead are s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d back. Visualize yourself bowled
over by the devastating colors that only fine glass can deliver. The
world's first honest-to-god 35mm fisheye camera is here and ready to swim
into your life. Open your heart, stretch out your hands, and grease up
your fins.

Features:
170-degree field of view
The heart, soul, and blood of the Fisheye's brilliance: an enormous field
of view that takes in literally half of the world around you and compacts
it into a nice and tight circular image. Barrel distortions twist and bend
your subjects around the edges, stretch them towards and away from your
lens, and converge their lines towards the center. See for yourself--the
effect is simply stunning.
Extreme close-up potential
Not an exercise for the timid--the Fisheye lavishly rewards those who
bravely advance within a whisper of their subject. Get right up to their
face, and watch their nose get sucked into your lens while their ears and
forehead s-l-i-d-e-s backwards. Sharp, beautiful pictures are possible
from even the closest quarters. Party on.
Huge depth of field
Super-wide-angle images like the ones spat out by the Fisheye come with a
wonderful bonus: focused sharpness from the front to the rear of your
image. Each fisheye image shows massive depth of field, so your subject
and background will be nice and crispy clear.
Premium glass optics
Sitting inside that massive snout are several of the loveliest
optical-glass lens elements that you have ever seen. They work together in
perfect harmony to give you bright colors, punchy contrast, super-blue
skies, ultra-red lips, and yellow bananas like you have never seen before.
Built-in electronic flash
Whenever you need him, this bright little hombre is ready to light up and
fire a solid burst of white. Your Fisheye pleasure is no longer limited to
daylight hours.
Sleek goldfish embossing
Swimming off the right side of your camera is a beautifully detailed "koi"
goldfish. One part children's illustration and one part yakuza
tattoo--it's a real looker on the Fisheye.
Forget the viewfinder
Because it doesn't work anyway. With the Fisheye's massive field of view,
it sees much more than any simple viewfinder or even your own eyes can
see. The Fisheye truly invites you to "shoot from the hip" and capture
everything from the Earth to the heavens in the process.
What's in the Box
Lomography Fisheye camera, hand strap, editorial booklet, and full
documentation.
Product Description
You have a unique way of seeing things, and so does the fisheye lens. This
one comes ready for shooting in a nifty 35mm compact camera. The
ultra-wide angle views give subjects-like your Aunt Edna's nose-a whole
new dimension, making up-close subjects appear even closer. The background
buildings, landscapes and settings bend around the center of the frame to
render a sense of depth and roundness. Huge depth of field captures both
the foreground and background in complete focus. A premium glass lens
offers bright colors and knockout contrast. The world's first 35mm with a
built-in fisheye lens, the camera captures a sweeping 170º field of
vision, along with a cool interpretation of your personal perspective.
Built-in electronic flash. Uses normal 35mm film. Includes wrist strap,
lens cover and full instructional booklet. 2-1/2Hx4L".

It's about fun., November 27, 2005
Reviewer: J. Skilton
Cheap little camera with a pretty good glass lens. Produces suprisingly
sharp and striking photos. Fixed focus and shutter / aperture, and the
lens barrel partly blocks the flash, so use fast film - 400 or 800 speed -
and shoot in well-lit rooms or daylight. I spent the last week sticking it
in peoples faces, and the prints made us laugh. If you're expecting a
Nikon, you'll be disappointed - so, Don't Expect a Nikon! Expect a fun
little camera with a lot of laughs for the buck. 5 stars because it does
all it tries to do.

Lomo cameras are a lot of fun. Shooting from the hip, so to say, is their
motto and it works with their cameras. This camera has an awesome lens
that capures your world in a whole new way. Yes this camera is plastic and
cheap feeling, but the results are awesome. Rich in color and it bends
your world through its fish eye lens. Have fun! I am!
