If you need to give a gift for a Lomo camera fan then you are very lucky. Because most Lomo cameras and Lomo camera accessories are cheap. Lomography is very cheap hobby comparing with some other popular hobbies. Only thing that cost money often is film. Lomography is about more human involvement than using machines or software. So I have found a really nice gift for any Lomo fan. You can just them a usual cheap film camera but they probably have bunch of those already. So this might be lot better gift. It's a Build yourself Fotodiox DIY Lomo Camera.
This is a Fotodiox DIY Lomo Camera is a Twin Lens Reflex TLR Camera Kit which comes in 68 pieces and and full instructions how to assemble it. This will be a 1 -3 hour tank which will be a great fun or any Lomo camera fan or Any kid who love photography or technical stuff. Building a camera your self is something you can find really fun to do. All you need is a Screw Driver. I think is can be used to have a perfect bonding time for kids and parents or with anyone you want to close with. Building a camera at home which can take real photos s something hard to believe. Who wouldn't like it ? Even its fun for do it your own. Build the camera and then take it out to take photos. It has very nice classic old camera look too. This camera uses 35mm Film which doesn't include in camera kit. You can buy couple of 35mm films from Amazon for cheap along with the camera kit.
This Build it your self Fotodiox DIY Lomo Camera COST ONLY $16 at Amazon with free shipping ! It's hard to even believe you can expect this much fun from something cheaper like this camera. A model like this Lomography.com cost you over $35 + Shipping ! Also you can buy 35mm film from Amazon for lot cheaper than from Lomography site. I don't why they put all these big price tags when other stores like Amazon sell these for this cheap.
It will be very easy to assemble if you are someone used to assemble car models etc. But even if you want this shouldn't be hard. Make sure to take time and read all instructions and check photos. Some of these Amazon reviews say springs C and D were mixed up. So keep an eye on this. Instructions are written in English but seems nobody had proofread it before sending it to printer. Screwdriver doesn't come with the kit.
If you find anything missing in the kit call them since they are location in states, Illinois. They will send you whatever you are missing and will be helpful. Camera cost is only $15 but you deserve to have fun with it rather than a nightmare. So ask them anything you find troublesome (withing becoming a pain for them). They will help.
This is probably the cheapest assemble-it-yourself camera you can find anywhere. $15 is something quite a cheap and you can't even buy a good 35mm film for this price. Camera does manual focusing and comes with viewfinder. You can do multiple exposures too which is great ! But make sure to do it in good lighting conditions. Poor lighting won't help much. This kit also comes with two panoramic adapters, one for adapting film plate and one for the viewfinder. They are completely synchronized once installed; simply place the adapters on top of viewfinder glass and shutter frame. You will see exactly what you’re going to get from the viewfinder !
So here's yout chance to have some fun building a camera your self and using to take come fun photos. After all this Fotodiox DIY Lomo Camera cost you only $15. you can get more fun than what it really worth.
