Good-humored, ironic, rock 'n' roll, and very, very wide, the Lomography 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.

Lomography Fisheye 35mm Camera
A sampling of day- and flash-lit Lomography Fisheye 35mm Camera images.
The Lomography Fisheye sees a sweeping 170-degree view--compacting everything around you into a circular image. Get right up to your subject's nose for slamming distortion effects. Huge depth of field renders both the foreground and background in complete focus. Its premium glass lens offers bright colors and knockout contrast. Rocks a built-in electronic flash for use day or night. Uses normal 35mm film that can be processed anywhere.

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.

4Vibrant and Fun  Jul 01, 2008
I've had this camera for about a year now, having forgotten to review it when I first received it, and I love it. The colors are surprisingly vibrant, more so than I had expected, and the camera has a nice feel to it. Because this is a fisheye camera, I find that I've stopped using the viewfinder. I just point the camera at my intended subject and shoot. Part of the fun is in not know exactly how your picture will turn out, and usually it turns out great.

This camera works best in bright, natural lighting. I used it while flying kites with friends and loved the results. Inside, the pictures tend to turn out dark without the flash, or white washed with the flash, as the flash tends to be too strong.

This camera isn't perfect, which it the point. You have to expect and embrace the imperfections, otherwise this camera will drive you crazy. But for those looking for something fun and different, I fully recommend the Lomo Fisheye.

4Fishie  May 14, 2008
This camera is really easy to use -- once you get the hang of it. I suggest getting a cheap role of film to shoot some test shots before doing anything serious. Also, it works best outside. Clearly this isn't a primary camera but it's nice to have in your camera bag for a more unusual or artsy shot.

4Fun and funky little camera  May 06, 2008
This camera is pretty fun to play with. I guess I had different expectations for how the the pictures would come out. But once I knew what to expect I had a lot of fun with it! When you get your prints back, the image is in a black circle. And if you're not careful, your feet may end up in the shot because of the lens being so wide! Also I got a few shots with the lens cap dangling in the way. So be mindful of your lens cap and your feet and just go to town!

5Great  Apr 26, 2008
For what it is it is darn amazing, if you want critical sharpness don't spend thirty dollars on a single exposure 35mm fisheye. Go Spend a thousand on a specific lens. Its great fun, a great travel camera.

5Awesome......take advantage of the flash!  Apr 25, 2008
Camera is great. Love it. Wasted almost my whole first roll because I should of used the flash more. The lens doesn't seem to grab as much light as a regular lense, so use the flash often. Total user error though. Camera is awesome. Enjoy!
