In addition to still cameras, Lomography also makes the LomoKino which lets retro enthusiasts capture 35mm movies in all their scratchy, grainy glory. But sharing those creations isn’t easy, at least without this smartphone adapter which lets you digitise your flicks.
I find the lo-fi results of Lomography’s gear a little passe at this point, but I have to admit this setup does look like an easy way to make your footage look like it was captured sometime in the 1950s. I mean it’s not as easy as applying a filter to your digital video in post production, but the fact that you have to hand-crank the 35mm spool while your smartphone records the results does lend a convincing jerkiness to the clips.
The adapter itself is available from Lomography for just £20, but keep in mind it’s useless without the accompanying £100 LomoKino camera and LomoKinoscope viewer. And of course the cost of film stock and development, which gets more and more expensive as less and less people use it. [Lomography via The Verge]
I’m sorry but the footage in the provided video is absolutely god awful, not worth 50p let alone £120. I am a retro lover as well, I listen to vinyl and buy new albums on it when I can, but there has to be a limit. This is just crap.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is retro. It’s more novelty, a gimmick. Lomo cameras take funky photos because the technology used is total crap – especially the lens quality. The images are unique to the cameras rather than an attempt to create some kind of retro imagery. The worlds oldest surviving film (The Roundhay Garden Scene) looks more modern than this. I have a Lomo camera that I bought in 1986, it was classed as a cheap 35mm point and shoot. It leaked light and the shutter was unpredicatble. This was due to the shocking construction and terrible materials. It never took a single picture in focus. The images were laughable – but fun, which is why people use Lomo cameras – Lomography has gathered cult status. There is something exciting about not knowing what you are going to get though, when using these cameras.
I dont’consider Vinyl retro either. It’s still a current format, although the technology is old.
