The trouble with hobbies is, if they aren’t right for you in the first place, they get boring.

A friend of mine has quickly grown tired of his Lomography cameras and, knowing I have my own network of film-fanatics, has passed them on to me to sell for him. If I had the cash, I’d keep them, but my son’s birth looms large and I have to concentrate on buying baby stuff.

Up first is a Colorsplash camera. This cute little number has a colorsplash flash built in, for crazy color effects. It comes with a strap and two cases, but one case seems to have a snap about to break – nothing a little sewing can’t fix, plus the manuals and pamphlets.

Crazy lighting effects with the Colorsplash Camera.

Next is a Lomography Actionsampler Flash. Like the Actionsampler, this camera shoots four quarter-frames in sequence. Big difference is it also has a four bulb sequential flash, for really crisp action sequences (hence the name). Comes with manuals and pamphlets as well. Slight scratching on a rear panel.

In shiny gunmetal chrome.

Third is one of mine, just languishing on my shelf (how many cameras do I have now? a lot!). One of my thrift shop finds. The meter still works but the flash won’t fire. Selling this cheap.

That’s three for now. Drop me a PM if you’re interested. Remember, this is only for Philippine residents to keep logistics simple.

Cheerios.

Whoa! Fresh, Fresher, Freshershest news from the folks over at the Lomographic Society International.

They’ve just announced the Lomography Spinner 360° , a crazy 35mm cam that spins on its axis to produce – you guessed it – 360° panoramic shots. How awesome is that? Check out how nuttily fun it looks:

To shoot, hold the handle steady and pull the ripcord. This spins the camera on its vertical axis, allowing it to capture a continuous 360° image of your environment. The results? Look and click to embiggen:

This being an LSI product, it comes bundled with extras in a premium package that will set you back – gasp – € 125.00! Pricey for a toy camera, but not wholly unexpected. Still, I imagine droves of toy camera enthusiasts going for it, myself included (If I can convince my wife to let me). No telling how much this’ll cost locally, but you can buy one online now here.  For more info, samples and techniques, check out the Lomography Spinner 360° microsite.
