The much anticipated pretty new toy cameras from Lomography arrived at ThirtySix! The La Sardinas! I couldn’t decide on which one to buy and after some very (tough) consideration … I went for all four. 🙁 Why is it that difficult to decide? Well … unlike cameras like the Blackbird, Fly which is a matter of choosing the color … the La Sardina has more to offer (in terms of the design). See below for some snapshots of the differences and try pick one that you like. 😉
The El Capitan! My favourite color … red!
The Marathon. This one doesn’t come with a flash.
The Sea Pride … also doesn’t come with a flash.
The Fischers Fritze (darn hard to spell!) … like the El Capitan … comes with the Fritz the Blitz flash. Fritz the Blitz … why do I find it so hard to spell and pronounce it? 😀
Okay … instead of some pretty product photos (which you can find tons on Lomography’s website) … I put side-by-side some close-ups of the different sides … in case some of you might wanna take a look before deciding on one … or two … or all the four. 😀
The back!
Even the sides are different!
Yeah … they even come with lens caps of different designs! Sorry for the dust on the El Capitan cap. I was just too lazy to clean it before taking photo. 😛
See what I mean? Well … if you just want a camera that takes photos … then you won’t have a hard time deciding. However if you love staring at cameras like I do … then maybe you can choose the right combo … of the cap, the front, the back, the side and the color and then make a dash to ThirtySix tonight or tomorrow. Shhh … I saw a whole crate of these beauties there today!
Those 2 models that has flash … comes with some colored filters as well. You can also adjust the distance on the flash to control the power. Read more about it in their microsite (link at bottom of this entry).
The 4 gentlemen are now sitting in my cabinet … and one lucky fella will get to follow me on a trip to Kuala Lumpur this coming weekend. Hope I’ll get to burn a roll or two to test out this fishy cammie.
It is late at night now and I’m sure wifey’s gonna go ‘What???!!!’ when she notice something different in the cabinet tomorrow. Hmm … maybe I should cover them with newspaper.
