I've just received an e-mail from the Lomographic Society International telling me that the retro-famous Lomo LC-A camera is to be increased in price from 180 Euro (£123) to 200 Euro (£137) from 1st Feb.
What the?! Already a massive rip-off and they're increasing their prices by over 10%? Jeez. Bag of overpriced cack.
The LC-A had been experiencing something of a revival for sometime now due to its quirky nature and unpredictable, yet beautifully colour saturated results. However, with news that camera manufacturers like Kodak are stopping the production of film cameras altogether to move 100% to digital, this seems like something of a backwards step for me.
Surely a price decrease at this time would take people's attentions away from the digital world and back to the simple joys of cheap film?
For that money, you can buy yourself a 3Megapixel digicam, take as many photos as you like, and just apply the Lomo Photoshop plugin to them to get the same results.
If, despite this, you're still in the market for a Lomo LC-A - make sure you visit auctionhouses like e-bay instead of buying new models. You can snap one up in good condition (they're very well built) for around £30-£50.
p.s. I'm still loving my Lomo longtime, despite the wonders of digital. |
