Toy cameras (lomo's)

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!
