Anyone have any of the cameras offered by lomography.com?
I have the Holga 120SF and Pop9. I didn't buy them from that website though, they seem a bit expensive.
The Holga is a medium format camera, but still a toy. It takes 120 film. The Pop9 is another toy camera. It has nine lenses that take nine small images onto one frame. It takes regular 135 film. The beautiful gold plastic is a bit scratched on mine, but otherwise it seems to be working.
Anyone else use any of these? I'm looking for a Lomo LCA now.

I have a Lomo LCA. Wouldnt really call it a toy, but it is quite random to use. Its a good camera though, as long as you are prepared for most of your shots to come out completely differently to what you expected.

t h i s one is great.
I get my first roll of Holga shots back on 29th. The counter window confused me, so I rolled the film with the 6x6 numbers, although I was shooting 6x4,5. There should be nice space around the photos :)

This is the original Lomo LCA (now a lot of cheap Russian cams are called Lomos).

This is the Pop9 I have. It takes 9 pics on one frame. It's just nine small lenses next to each other.

i am at times using a Holga-S with the 6.45 back taken off to get a slightly larger than 6x6 frames, the edges are soft and thin, but that is why i love the camera. cheap as fuck with a good lens on mine! i don't take my prints much higher than 7x7 inches however, otherwise i get a a fuzzy image. the back is taped up like crazy so i can only geta glimpse of what frame i am on so i won't double up. i've actually shown some of my holga prints in a gallery with good reazction. there is a huge lomo society in the city i live in. number one thing to do with these cameras, is to get creative!
