"Don’t think, just shoot"
Film, film, film, film, film...............
............................................I purchased this fun 35mm camera with a built in fish eye lens. It's called the Fisheye 2 and Lomographische AG makes it.
The style of photography is called lomography and it also serves as an intro to the society of "happy accident" shooters. The exposure is very similar to a holga and you need to be close to your subjects if you are using the flash adapter. I just love the opportunity to put down my Nikon D3 and slow down my visual stimuli by examining life through a camera I can hold in the palm of my hand. It's plastic, and light and oh what fun!
Total cost - about $65.00 USD.
Multiple exposures and bulb settings are also available. Be advised that the placement of the flash creates a harsh shadow in the right hand corner of the frame. I just work around it.
