Here are some more information for Lomo Film:

In this era when film cameras are going the way of the dinosaur, and digital cameras are taking over, the hot new collectible is the Russian camera. With brand names like Sputnik and Kiev, an increasing number of collectors are finding rare Russian Cameras to have both a nostalgic quality with a sprinkling of mystery thrown in.

Here are some of the most collectible of the Russian cameras:

Sputnik: The Sputnik Russian camera was produced by LOMO in Leningrad from 1955 to 1973. It is a stereo camera that produces six pairs of 6 x 6 cm pictures on 120 film. Weighing slightly less than two pounds, the Sputnik stereo camera has aperture sizes of 4.5, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, and 22. It has a synchronizer and self-timer, with shutter speeds of 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, and B.

LOMO LC-A: The LOMO LC-A is a 35mm Russian camera that was the foundation of the Lomography movement. With a black plastic body, the LOMO LC-A has an automatic leaf shutter. This electronic shutter offers speeds from 1/500 of a second to two seconds, with the aperture setting automatically. It also offers a manual setting, with a 1/60 shutter speed and manually selected aperture. The aperture sizes are 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, and 16. The camera features a hot shoe flash contact and a picture counter.

Kiev-88TTL - The Kiev-88TTL Russian cameras were produced by the Arsenal factory in Kiev. These box cameras have adjustable shutter speeds that range from 1/2 to 1/1000 second. A variety of lenses can be used for the Kiev-88TTL, including the Mir 26V, Mir 38V, Kaleinar 3V, Jupiter 36V, Vega 28V, and ARSAT/Zodiak. The lenses have apertures from 2.8 to 22.

FT-2 - This Russian camera is a panoramic camera that uses curved film and a lens that minimizes distortion. All of the controls for this camera are on the top, and include chrome levers to set shutter speeds, a button for shutter release, and a leveling bubble. The first model of this Russian camera can be identified by the spring tension adjustment at the bottom, while the identifier for the second model is that the wind lever has two wings. Shutter speeds for the FT-2 are 50, 100, 200, and 400.

Horizon-202 - Like the FT-2, the Horizon-202 Russian camera is a panoramic camera. Unlike the FT-2, the Horizon uses a removable optical viewfinder. The earliest model has a round solid aluminum handle, while the second has a round aluminum handle with a compartment for the filter. Although the camera's nameplate usually says Horizont on the top and KMZ on the bottom, the rarer Russian cameras are Horizont Revue and Global-H.

Collecting Russian cameras is a fascinating hobby, one made all the more interesting by the variety of manufacturing techniques used in the earlier models.

Android Applications Now Made Richer

Android Application development is an ongoing process. New applications are continuously being developed to add to the facilities provided by the Android based phones. Some of the latest applications that now feature in the Android phones are as follows.

Earlier photo editing was only possible with the help of tools like the Photoshop. Android came with an innovation in which the camera feature of the mobile is equipped with the photo editing option too. The camera features were already present in the earlier android but they were not so advanced as found in the latest Android phones.

The camera resolution (in mega pixels) of the latest version of Android is much higher than that in older version phones.

Sometimes the photo taken by you at the party may need a bit of LOMO touch. If you want to single out a particular person's photo from a group photo the Android application makes the task easy.

One can crop images, change the color and even at text with the help of applications like PicSay. One can also give special effects to the snap with the help of this application. One can add graphics that are like stickers too. More sophisticated and complex features like color splashing and cross-processing is also possible.

If you just want to click photographs with a cool effect then there is an Android application called FxCamera. Some of the prominent effects affected by this application include Polandroid, ToyCam, SymmetriCam, Fisheye, and Warhol. This application to some extent can be compared Applications like Picoli, Camera Bag and PhotBox that are found in the iPhone. The user can rotate the images, crop them, apply special effects and adjust color with the help of application known as Photoshop.com Mobile.

For adding the flash effect and films there is an application called Vignette. This application facilitates the user with crop features, 15frames, zoom and a self timer. The 46 effects provided by this application include ToyCom, LOMO, cross-processing, tilt-shift and effects of Polaroid style. The Camera ZOOM FX offers 40 effects that include photo bursts, zoom functions, stable shot, timers, grids, sound activation and white balance.

Finger Paint, a MS Paint version especially for Android is a touch screen interface. With the help of this application the user can draw over and color the photo.

Effects like brightness adjustment, timer, multi-shot bursts, contrast adjustment, zoom features, photo filters and stability mode are offered in Snap Phot Pro.

Camera Illusion allows the user to filter, mask and add effects to photo in real time. The user can also apply the ASCII filter.

Besides these applications there is a provision of availing the applications customized and getting it prepared through third party application developer. Hire the services of a professional Android application developer if needed.

What kind of film for a Lomo Diana Camera?

I just ordered a Lomography Diana (+ Splitzer lens).
I have no idea what sort of film I'm supposed to use...
It says medium format 120 film on Amazon, but I'm very amateur and I don't know what that is at all.
Any suggestions are helpful, but please be specific. (:

Thanks in advance.
(I posted this in the consumer electronics category too; but I wasn't sure where I would get more answers.)

I'm not sure where you are located, but if you don't have a local photo supply store to buy your 120 film from, try freestyle photo supply or b and h photo and video store.

Diana cameras like faster film, so get some film rated at ISO 400. What kind? I like any of the color neg films from Kodak (Portra 400) or Fuji (Fujicolor Pro 400H).

The other thing you need to figure out is where to get your film processed. Most 1 hour labs won't be able to process your film on site, but many will be able to send it out to be processed for you. The better prices for processing can be found at Costco or Walmart. They too will send out the film, so it will take a week or so.

A better option would be to find a local lab that can handle 120 film, and is used to Diana or Holga camera images. If you can find a local photo supply store, they can often recommend a lab that you can use.

I also have helpful tips for the Diana on my website.

Good luck and have fun!
