.Camera

Since I havent sent my films to the shop yet,
I thought I'd do a quick review on both my cameras
since I used it quite alot
in a short amount of time.

The Holga 135BC is my first lomo camera
Great for beginners
simple to use
and like every other Holgas,
It gives you amazing yet unpredictable results.
I love how despite the fact that it uses plastic lens
( and I dont like that fact )
the pictures it gives you turn out grainy
and the colours are very vibrant
Which is what I love
and seek in when using a Lomo cam.
Its also great for events
Since its easy to use,
Its also fast.
Making it a good companion when you just need to take pictures
during events.
You dont need to care about the aperture
or the shutter speed.
Pretty good for a plastic camera.
Also, the multiple exposure on this camera
is just absolutely beautiful.
If you're thinking of joining Lomography,
The Holga 135BC is a great camera to start off your journey.
I'm glad I got this instead of the Holga 135 that I originally wanted.


If youre into Lomography
And you're addicted,
1 camera is surely not enough.
You just want to try all the cameras there is.
Same thing happened to me.
Which is why I bought my Smena 8m.
The Smena slowed me down a little bit when taking pictures.
Which is or can be a good thing
Because it made me look at things twice
It opened my eyes
It made me say
" hey, that could be a nice picture ! "
When its actually just a picture of a dust bin or something
However,
The Smena is a bit more tricky than the Holga
You have the aperture,
the shutter speed
shutter cock
Those are the things you have to worry about
Except the shutter cock.
just make sure your fingers don't get in the way.
But the above mentioned things can be your best friends once you get the hang of them.
Them combined with your Smena's glass lens
gives you the nicest and clearest pictures
Just like you wanted them to be
But can also be unpredictable ;)
I dont really recommend it for beginners tho
If youre a beginner,
stick with the Holga 135BC,
Fisheye or Diana Mini
Or any MultiLens Lomocam.

So which camera do I prefer ?
My Smena 8m actually.
I just like how it feels in my hands
and I love its pictures
I love the way it looks
and I love the way that it just follows everything I want
without complaining.


But hey, that's just between those two.
I've still got my Fed 3 that I've still yet to try.
Also, I bought ANOTHER camera during my vacation.
Try and guess what it is !
Everyone can guess except for Aizi.


Oh, just on a side note,
I didnt buy the new camera with my money.
Its actually my PMR present.

good tips. sgt stuju dgn kau =)

kalau holga, angkat, terus klik.
kalau smena, kena study dulu. im study too much to learn about smena.

kau beli lubitel?

amsyar said...

lisya: haha yeah. boleh exchange tips. type B. eventho type a in my opinion lagi lawa, its harder to find and a bit more expensive when everything else is just the same. So lagi senang beli type b. also, I'd prefer the mini instead of f+ anytime. memang cute !

wanny: haha but kita still gang lomo ! and thanks :D

tort: haha thanks. and betul !

Les Deux Clothing said...

Wah wah. Lubitel tu. Cayala Amsyar. Lepas ni boleh la add kat geavity gak :) Congratz! Anyway, my fed 3 also type B and yeah I do feel that type A is sexier. U beli Lubitel tu kat Lomography LA ke?

amsyar said...

haha thanks. my one ( 166+ ) takda dekat geavity ):
as long as we have the camera. that's what counts.
yeah I did. dapat discount. lol
