I bought this camera as a gift for my cousin and she absolutely loves it! I have one of my own and I thoroughly enjoy using it. The LomoApparat is such a a fun little camera - very easy to carry around everywhere and fun to experiment with! I also want to highlight how AMAZING customer service was. I needed to have my order expedited for my cousin to receive it before moving. I sent them an email in they responded in less than 10 minutes and provided me multiple options (with prices) for expedited shipping. They immediately packaged my order and ensured it was shipped out that day. Super nice and friendly and incredibly helpful - easily the best customer service I've ever worked with!

A beautiful camera

My first ever film camera as I explore this new hobby, it's been wonderfully easy to use with enough additional features to make it fun and give you creative control. It looks adorable too!I can't wait to see the different things that can be achieved with a simple to use camera

A step up in spec. for LOMO...

The APPARAT has more robust feel to it than similar 'point and shoot' cameras. The lens hood definitely gives it the appearance of a more sophisticated camera - perhaps something beginning with 'L'... ;0)ON THE PLUS SIDE:Bright, clear viewfinderRewind crank feels less likely to break - unlike some other similar cameras.Film loading is surprisingly easy despite to small single tooth on the take up spool which picks up the film perforations.Large shutter button - easily located as there's ridge around the button.Ability to override the flash when you don't want to use it, plus an ND filter to tone it down when using the close-up lens.Interesting accessories - close up lens, kaleidoscope lens and a 'splitzer. The close and kaleidoscope lens can be stacked ... MoreThe APPARAT has more robust feel to it than similar 'point and shoot' cameras.

I gave up and used a larger ring...Exposure counter digits are all but invisible - but at least there's no plastic lens over them to make it even worse!No means of using a shutter release cable - although there's a bulb exposure mode and a tripod socket!

Blast from the past

Simple but sturdy, reminded me of the Kodak Instamatic but with 35mm film. No controls, proper flash with coloured filters and double exposure button. The multi exposure add on obscures the viewfinder but is well made, the prism filter works easily. Only downside is I’ve not finished the film yet so no results to report! But I will do shortly.

Excellent

Great quality camera, and awesome photos. I recommend using the Lomo film.

Excellent little camera.

I received this as a Christmas gift. Didn't get out to use it until 22/2/23.Very easy to use, 2 setting and a simple on off for flash. Decent set of filters with it too, including gel for flash placed in a very neat slide up holder. ( will be trying this later). Simplicity at its best. No images processed yet though. Mine is the black version.

Fun camera

Don't expect Leica standard sharp images but with good light and decent film you can get some good results and have fun as well.

Quirky and Quality

This is such a fun and simple camera to use. It's compact and light, easy to stick in a bag or pocket.The wide angle lens is pretty sharp and produces decent quality shots for plastic. It's the quirky add on features that appealed to me most. The colour flash filters, multiple exposure option, cool lens attachments like kaleidoscope, all allows for a bit of experimentation with interesting and somewhat unpredictable results. The novelty might wear off but for now I'm going to keep enjoying the Apparat :D*My sample shots taken with Kodak Colorplus

Such a fun camera!

I’m pretty new to film so this is only my second camera but I really love playing around with the different lenses, and in particular the filters. I used ISO 200 and some of my images came out a little dark, but I like them!

really fun to use

This camera is super fun to use and is lightweight, portable and well designed with some really cool features actually. Well played Lomography.
