Q: hey can you tell me more about ultra wide & slim camera?
A:
This is a very simple camera, but it has a fair share of perks! Here are a few things I like about it:
1) It’s cheap
2)It’s easy to carry around because it’s Uh, slim? It’s Thin
3) Hands Down to its 22mm Wide-Angle lens
4) It’s easy to develop because you only need a 35mm film for it
5) Nice Vignetting and Contrast
6) Did I mention it’s really easy to carry around? Hehe! You can shoot weherever, anywhere! It’s very lightweight :)

Ultra Wide and Slim Camera
This isn’t so bad for a gift. For myself, of course. Only $35.00! I like the White Slim Devil, by the way :p
Buy the Ultra Wide and Slim Camera at the Photojojo Store! -
Rubbing off the lomo love <3
The lomocam business has been growing over the years and lomo cam fans are consistently increasing by the day.
5 years ago I’ve only known one shop who sells lomo cameras. It was in Greenbelt 3 and they don’t exclusively sell lomo cams, they sell action figures, or toys for the kids at heart. But thanks to the inter-webs, the news spread out so quickly: There’s a new trend in town and it’s Analog! Soon enough, I see lomo cams everywhere! It was only until 2007 though when I scored my first lomo cam named Diana+. It was really pretty so I was mesmerized by it. My first roll of film was what I called “lucky shots,” but the next slides were no walk in the park. But learning is fun. I had to revisit the lessons I normally ignored in school.
I’ve never discouraged anyone to buy a camera, be it analog or digital. I’ve always been one who cheers you on and provide advises if you ask me what type of camera or what brand to buy. I didn’t ask for it, but people seem to come to me when they want to buy cameras. I don’t shoot well, but I guess I have this passion for it that just rubs off to everyone else. I don’t discriminate anyone who carries a camera. It’s still a way of self expression regardless if you know how to use it or not; and if you get it to just satisfy your vanity.
So furthermore, just in case I have rubbed off my passion on you reader, I mean hypothetically I have a reader, don’t hesitate to try out new ways to express yourself. As the old saying goes, leave no stone unturned.
