Peter, it was so much fun filming this, instantly had a grin 😁 all over my face because of the fun moments we had with the Lomomatic - and I really love the final video. Oh and last but not least, the results are something. Very lomographic!
Thank you Thomas with filming this video. It was a lot of help. It would not come out as nice at it is. Besides that I had a very fun day of photography with you.
In the late eighties my sister had one camera very similar. It was one of the first cameras I've used. Having fun is always the way to go, at least enjoying taking photos, even if the results are not as good as we hoped
Wow! This is a real throwback. I had a Kodak 'instamatic" 110 camera as a teenager that looked very similar to this, during the early '70s, before I graduated to my Canon AE1 in 1977. From what I can remember the photos were actually not bad for what it was, I presume similar to the ones that Peter took here. Sometimes using a very basic camera without bells and whistles can be liberating.
I quite enjoyed you sharing the fun of the day..and so nice to have Thomas as your film-crew! Two photos I quite liked; the coffee person and the two folks with umbrellas. Less the technical photo aspect, but both made me feel I was looking at old photos, maybe from the 60’s or 70’s. Cool!
Love seeing all diffrent experiences with diffrent cameras. Great vidieo as always . Have you tried camp snap camera I have the first model 101 it takes great vintage photos and only has one button.
Thanks for sharing your 110 film experience. The negative size is about the same as the MFT sensor size. So you kind of went back to MFT in this video😀
The focus of the Lomo really sucks: the photos you took were horrible. I remember in the 70s photos of a pocket 110 (I don't remember if it was Minox) they had good details: maybe due to the quality of the lens.
In what sense horrible? Image quality, story telling, composition or what? I know the image quality is quite bad, but I think some of them are still quality images.
@ForsgardPeter No Story telling, Composition, in fact they were interesting, but what I didn't like was the quality of photographic rendering: all out of focus. The doubt was whether due to the poor quality of the lens or intentional, artistic.
My first camera in 1983 was a Lomo LC-A which gave rise to the phenomenon of lomography. To be honest the combination of me and this camera took terrible photos. Thank you Peter for your videos!
Since I was 15 years old at the time I guess that if I had shoting at that time with my OM-System the quality of these pictures would have been about the same. My brains and hands weren't advanced enough at that time.😀
Loving this, the restrictions really force you to work.. Haven't used a 110 since borrowed my dad's Kodak for a school trip in the early 80s. To be fair like retro but I think 35 mm is probably more my thing. Taking a Ricoh Pont and shoot with a 400 ISO new film for a test drive in London shortly. However having got to the end of the video I do quire like the 110 looks for Instagram posting.but not cheap.
The Minolta 110 might be the thing to try, if you are into film, and throw-back cameras. I switched to digital, and never looked back. I think the beautiful girl photos deserve a better camera. 🧐 Maybe 35mm Kodak Ektar 25. So sharp, you could blow the image up to life size and it would not fall apart. If you are in a used camera store, ask to see a Minolta 110. Dang, I am showing my age again. Today I still say the Lumix GX-9 and Nikon Z5 cameras are the gems to be found. take care, Loren Schwiderski - street photography. 🤓
I am not really into film that much. It is still nice to try it though every now and then. Minolta 110 looks interesting. The problem is that getting 110-film is a bit hard. Not sure if anyone sells it here. Developing is still possible, at least for now.
My first camera was shaped like that. Think it was Panasonic or Polaroid. Never got the filmed out, so it burned with our house in 2001 😬 but I think there were pictures from Germany on it. Confirmation photos from 1995, so the film was probably ruined (too old) anyways 😅
Testing a black and white camera you should have used Orca black and white film. In my opinion, Orca is the sharpest and most rewarding film for 110, and is ideally suited to a zebra stripe camera.
@ Should have given me a call. I have more than a dozen Orca 110 in my refrigerator. Happy to have sent one to you. Over the years watching your videos I have come to think of you as my Finnish photographic brother, and we help our brothers. Only problem, it would have taken more time to get to Vienna from Sydney, than you had time there :)
No, Peter - this is some kind of surrealism that is achieved with the help of this camera, just an avant-garde trend in world fine art, as if we were immersed in the 1920s in France.

You are absolutely right. Having fun while photographing is important. Why spending time with photography if it is not fun!
We hope you enjoyed Vienna, come back to visit anytime! 👋
I did love Vienna. I will be back if I have chance.

You both are awesome. Love you, guys
Thanks!

No I have not. I have to take a look and see what kind of camera it is.
Thanks for sharing your 110 film experience. The negative size is about the same as the MFT sensor size. So you kind of went back to MFT in this video😀
Yes, same same but different.
It reminds me so much of the Agfamatic pocket, Minox B and C, cameras from spystory
The shape is quite close with those cameras.
The focus of the Lomo really sucks: the photos you took were horrible. I remember in the 70s photos of a pocket 110 (I don't remember if it was Minox) they had good details: maybe due to the quality of the lens.

Would the story telling, composition been better if the lens was better quality?
I like it. As Bob Ross would say, “just happy little accidents”. Now if I can just get this Ultravox song out of my head 😊.
now that Ultravox song is in my head NOO

Let's say that the quality of the photos is interesting.
Since I was 15 years old at the time I guess that if I had shoting at that time with my OM-System the quality of these pictures would have been about the same. My brains and hands weren't advanced enough at that time.😀

I would rather have a slight better quality images. With Lomo it is a bit random even though I had a lot of fun. I also kind of liked the results.

A long time ago there was the agfamatic. Not in black and white, but with some reddish orange.
Yes, it look quite like this one.
My first camera was shaped like that. Think it was Panasonic or Polaroid. Never got the filmed out, so it burned with our house in 2001 😬 but I think there were pictures from Germany on it. Confirmation photos from 1995, so the film was probably ruined (too old) anyways 😅
I'm sorry about your house!
Ou nou, fire is not nice. Sorry to hear this.
Testing a black and white camera you should have used Orca black and white film. In my opinion, Orca is the sharpest and most rewarding film for 110, and is ideally suited to a zebra stripe camera.
Not sure it was available from them at the moment I picked up the camera.

Could be.
Lomography: Technically, it is so bad that it becomes art.
You are right.
Film is cool and 110 is cool. But this camera? Hmm, no, not for me. But, I enjoyed the video!
Well, it was a lot of fun to test that Lomo. Film is fun, I agree.
Good you put fake shutter sound, because real shutter sound is highly disappointing. Not just the sound, but the overall experience is clunky.
Everyone just casually speaking English as *if it were the UK.
Yes they do speak English quite well in Vienna.
Not my cup of tea.
I know, it is not everyone.
