LOMO Instant Wide Review

by EveNSteve

Review of the new LOMO Instant Wide and a comparison to the cult classic Fuji Instax 500AF. This is the first in a multi part series on instant materials and cameras…

Sample Pictures: I chose a difficult mixed lighting situation to show the contrast range of the material and low enough light that the camera would choose F8. My focus with the LOMO is much better than using the default settings because of my focusing scale (see below) and even then it is not as crisp as the Fuji 500AF. All shots were on a tripod for maximum stability.

Note on changing film… I discovered that you can not change the film while on the tripod with the LOMO camera due to the tripod socket placement, on the Fuji 500AF you can change film while the camera is on the tripod.

One correction from the video… I mention that Instax Wide film is approximately $18 for 10 shots, that of course is the price for 20 shots. Also, I purchased both cameras used in this review and all reviews here on FR.

Artists Supporting Artists: AMONG WOLVES Movie

by EveNSteve

Making a film is hard and costs lots and lots and LOTS of $$$$$. My RIT friend Shawn Convey has been working on this movie about Bosnian war veterans- and the wild horses they work to protect- for several years. He just needs a bit more cash to finish making it happen: I hope you will consider being a part of this effort on any level.

Support your local artist! Artists supporting artists is always a good idea!
