N°111 : Canon's Genom, it s not what you think it is.
Found on a fleamarket in Bruges Belgium, this could be a c lassic used Canon FTb, but the rare and exeptional thing on it, is the lens : a Meyer Lydith 30mm 3.5 originally mounted with an Exacta baoyonet, and fitted with an original Canon MD/Exacta-mount adapter. Notice the brass under the broken paint on the edges.
Bought for 40 Euro, Bruges, Belgium.

N°105 : Bang, Bang,... Colt 44
I ain't got no father,
I ain't got no father,
I ain't got no father,
To buy the clothes I wear.
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, (3x)
And a long ways from home.
I ain't got no mother,
To mend the clothes I wear.
I ain't got no sister,
To go and play with me.
I ain't got no brother,
To drive the steers with me.
I ain't got no sweetheart,
To sit and talk with me.
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy,
And a long ways from home.
Bought for 1 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.
N°104 : Canon Canonet 28
I'm living in Catholic Belgium, so when was a 12 years old boy, I have been 2 years to "Catechese", means Catholic school, and after this you have "Confimation", what's mean that you are a mature Catholic and that you have the knowledge to be a real Catholic. Then you have to wear white monk dresses, walk with a candle in the streets, get some benediction in a church from a bald headed - maybe pedophile - priest, to finally become Catholic. This is one of my major drama's of my childhood. The camera I got as a present from my grandfather and grandmother, when I was confirmed was a Canon Canonet 28 ...my god...
Bought for 2 Euro, Ieper, Belgium.
N°103 : Toyota 30 Years Panoramic Camera
Renault did it already, see :
farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3914460137_6c3e848ff8_b.jpg
Toyota copied it, but only for it's 30 years birthday.
Same camera, same idea, different colors.
Bought for 0,20 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.
N°102 : Agfa Rapid
What a design, cut a brick in compartiments, paint it here and there grey, add a double cirkel with a lens in it, mould in a leatherette-like plastic, drill a hole on the side to insert the viewer and put a rapid cameramechanism in it. Don't forget the Agfa-logo. Thats the way Agfa's designer had to think,...I think....
Here a link to reload the rapidfilm :

Bought for 2 Euro, Veurne, Belgium.
N°101: Nikon F-801 for Fullframewannabies
It always has been in my mind to use many of my lenses on a fullframe digital camera. But there is a huge problem : they are dead-expensive. So, I found this big baby, with 3 Nikkor lenses on fleamarket for 75 Euro. It's still not digital fullframe, but at least, you can dream and cheat a bit. The size and the look of the Nikon F-801 is nearby the Nikon D700. Go on the net, find the D700 logo, print it out and paste it on the F-801 logo. Now you can go walking the streets and cheat all Nikonians with your creation, at 5% of the price of the new digital equivalent. If you really want pictures, put a film in the camera, but that's an option.
Bought for 75 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.
N°100: Patrick Swayze's Colorshot Aqua
N°99: Werra 1
N°98: Burgundy Olympus Mju

N°97: Nikon AF
N°96: Chinon CE-4 Fisting
N°95: Noname ZOOM camera
No-name camera, at the end of the analoge age, chinese manufactors produces all automatic cameras with zooms for deadcheap prices. The design is all teardrop rounded, whitout any angle. The zoom 35-50, is manual by rotating the wheel around the lens, no focus, winding and exposure automatic, dx-reading and the flash can be switched on or off by a button. Lensquality unknown, not a Summicron, but acceptable I presume. Viewfinder is great and nice to uses, zooms in and out, when rotating the wheel.
Bought for 1 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.
N°94: Ricoh's Dart Vader
When Ricoh's is producing designer's icons like the Xobbox, it's just keeps it's design and makes it total black, same thing, other color, other plastic : Ricoh S-30.
Here you can see the Xobbox:

Bought for 3 Euro, Westende, Belgium.
N°93: Agfa Clack Snakeskin
It coul be be a fashion accessory for an aging Paris Hilton. The handbag-like strap is funny.
If Agfa has named the camera buy the noise the shutter makes, I would prefer something like : chlennng, toinnnggg, klinnnng, plounngg, crouinnngg, flouingg, glaoiunnggg, ........nnnnnnnngggg
Bought for 2 Euro, Westende, Belgium.
N°92: Minolta MG

N°91: Squirting Camera
N°90 : Yellow Renault
Buy a Clio, Laguna, Espace or Kangoo and get this wonderfull yellow 24mm panoramic camera. What a great idea from the french car company to promote their cars buy offering this superb camera. Lomography should do the same : offering a free car for any item bought from the lomoshop. Sellings would probably rise summits.
Bought for 1 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.

N°89 : Agfa Optima I
N°88 : Agfa Jsoly
N°87 : Agfa Isolette
N°86 : Agfa Isola
N°85 : Activ : All you need.
N°84 : The Klingon Camera : Minolta 7xi
N°83 : Fujica ST705
N°82 : Olympus Trip
Common classic from Olympus. Note that the design of the metallic upperplate is imitated on the digital version of the new Olympus Pen. Could Olympus drop the price of the last one, it would make a lot of people happy. For the moment I still buy deadscheap fleamarket analoge cameras.
Bought for 3 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.
N°81 : Halina Paulette Electric
Hong-Kong's Halina Paulette, womenised version of Paul, is Electric, I still haven't found the wire to plug it on the net, but the uncoupled seleniummeter is working. The camera is heavily chromed and has a total lack of colors for it's design : it's all black, metal and white lettering. Maybe it's only made for b/w films?
Bought for 3 Euro, Westende, Belgium.
N°80 : Splitcam
THIS IS NOT A LOMOGRAPHIC CAMERA
For all who wants to associate analoge photography with...(I hate the name)
The camera has 2 sliders on the viewer and lens, you can rearm the shutter whitout winding the film and combine to make strange upside down, inversed picture, or whatever. Funny toycamera with sometimes nice results.
Bought with piggypoints, Lomoshop, shame on me.
N°79 : Zeiss Ikon Nettar
N°78 : Practika Sport
This reminds me of some advertising that associates cigarettes and sports. All automatic, a leftslider for the objective, a pushup for the flash, a pushdown for the shutter, and a red light to prepare the start and a green light when ready to go,... a lot of exercises for this past DDR-brand.
Bought for 5 Euro, Waregem, Belgium.
N°77 : Olympus Pen F
Why the Japanese uses a gothic letter for the F, I still don't know. Maybe they made the camera with the marketing idea to sell to some south-american gangsta'rapper tattooed gang, or to some clerical goup, or from the past colla... no, no this one goes to far...
The lightmeter is an add-on.
Bought for 15 Euro, Nieuwpoort, Belgium.
N°76 : Olympus Pen Electric Eye 3
N°75 : Olympus Pen Electric Eye 2
N°74 : Olympus Pen Electric Eye
First baby from the EE-serie, the bottomplate has to be removed for filmloading, no hotshoe for flash, the 72 halfframe counter rotates when winding the film. 28mm cropfactor 2, makes it a 56mm equivalent. Olympus didn't change much with their micro fourthird system.
Bought for 3 Euro, Oudenburg, Belgium.

N°73 : Canon Formula 1

N°72 : Signal Experience
This is the perfect example of a cheap promotional camera. The camera takes 4 pictures on a print with a small delay between the 4 exposures. This camera was bought togheter with a toothbrush, and 2 tubes of toothpaste for the price of 5 Euro, in a very nicely plastic made packaging. The Lomographic Society International sales the Actionsampler for 30 Euro. The case is closed, I prefer to brush my theets.
Free, Oostende, Belgium.
N°71 : Agfa Silette
N°70 : Dacora Dignette
N°69 : Canon Prima AS-1
When you encounter a shark and you d'like to take a picture of it, in your tropical divingtrip, be aware that the red circle around the objective could been seen by the fish as an agression. Especially the whitesharks are sensible to this. In their manual, Canon should mention it.
Bought for 6 Euro, Oostende, Belgium.
