Fisheye No.2 – 35 mm Film Camera (fcp200)

great little lomo camera. i love lomo and this is just one more reason why. i've found myself not using the detachable viewfinder though, although it is fun to take off the camera and look at the world through it. carry it around in your pocket--seriously!the camera itself is good quality, seems sturdy. the image quality will vary with your film, but i have been shooting kodax reala 100 with great results. the color is amazing. the fisheye effect is fun and a good way to get yourself out of the "pro" rut that some photographers get in...trying to perfect every picture. just point and shoot with this one. the only downside is the fixed aperature and shutter speed. you need to be aware of what speed your film is and shoot in conditions to match. i shoot 100 speed, so i can rreally only shoot in bright bright sunlight with this cmaera unless i want to shoot in the bulb setting and get a blurry pic (can be fun also and is a great addition over the fisheye no. 1). the built in flash is virutally worthless--you always get the "flash specter" on the right side of the photo because the projecting lens gets in the way--get the colorsplash flash to add on. the hotshoe also works with any flash, so i've even tried out my canon 580ex on it! the colorsplash's size is perfect for this camera. they go together well.in closing, this is just a fun, inexpensive camera that i recommend if you're feeling uninspired lately. don't expect it to be your only camera though. also, if you don't have an LC-A Kompakt yet, get one of those first because i just did and I have virtually retired the fisheye bc the LC-A is so great and fun! yay lomo!

A little disappointed with this one. Low quality plastic. Did not clip in to portable sling well. Looked really cool, but did not function well. Tell broke after 1 roll of film. Way over priced for what they give you. Stick to the Gen 1. Portability was sub par.

I was really excited to get this as I was interested in trying film cameras and this camera looked so fun. At the same time, I wasn't expecting much considering the price, lack of controls, and that it's made out of plastic. But it doesn't feel like plastic and I think the silver part is metal but I could be wrong! It feels very sturdy. The viewfinder is great and lets you see the way a fisheye lens sees, which is fun to look at especially when it's detachable and it makes people like and understand what the camera does. I loaded it with 400 Lomography 35mm film, which I loved the results in. The landscapes I took were curved beautifully and the colors were super vibrant. i even switched the "mx" button and did a multiple exposure which turned out beautiful. I also put an AA battery in for the flash and brought it bowling with my friends. The flash is powerful and effective for a few feet away, and i got lit up, fun shots of me and my friends! It's 170 degree view really takes in a lot, and me and my friends put it on a table and looked up for a really fun picture. The bulb mode is really interesting too but you have to make sure to keep it still. I'm so excited to make more memories and take more beautiful pictures in this camera! I couldn't be happier.

Originally I bought this camera because I wanted to take fisheye photos but didn't have the money for a dSLR plus a fisheye lens. I am pretty happy with this camera overall! I had never used a film camera before this one but it's easy to figure out. Also, it has a multiple exposure switch and a bulb setting, so you can use them to make pretty cool effects. The mx switch allows you to take multiple shots on the same frame, and the bulb setting allows you to keep the shutter open as long as you want, so you can play around with light painting, etc.Pros:cheaper than dSLR + fisheye lenspretty sturdy for being plasticeasy to use, good for beginnersallows major creativityCons:viewfinder is higher than the lens, so you sort of have to guess where to aim the lensdoesn't work in darker settings; would recommend using on very sunny daysthe large lens actually blocks the flash, so you have a dark spot on the side of the photoAll in all, this is a pretty good camera for someone who is new to the concept of film photography. Not for perfectionists, since I can guarantee some of your pictures won't turn out. The camera shoots best in bright light and you will need the flash for most darker settings. As I mentioned, the flash is blocked a little by the lens, so I would recommend buying a ring flash if that will bother you. I have probably taken about a hundred photos and love about 1/3 of them. I would recommend this product.

This is a great buy. I didn't really expect such great image quality, in bright sunlight you get great results no matter what speed film you're using. In low light, I strongly recommend a hot shoe flash. I ordered my fisheye 2 with a replacement color splash flash. This combination leads to killer photos. The multiple exposure switch is a great addition, for even more amazing, trippy effects.The cons are size and lens cap. The size of the lens makes it difficult to carry around all the time, though it does fit nicely in a messenger bag. The lens cap is garbage, it falls off all the time, and is made this translucent silicone/rubber(?) material, I wish it was black, because I am quite compulsive and like to hit the shutter at random moments with the cap on. I find that wrapping the strap around the lens cap like a rubber band keeps it on just fine.All around, I still give this camera a 5, because the photos come out great, and its a nice alternative to purchasing the hundred and something dollar fisheye lens for the LC-A

After one use it failed to advance film. A waste of money. Do not buy!
