What you said about taking your time to know the product instead of pumping out a review when it's just released is so true- love that mindset!
Only way I like to operate!
My son gave me this for Christmas. Some things I avoid. First, I still have not placed a battery in the cap. As far as framing, I hold the shutter side under when I shoot portrait. It helps with the headroom. Also, like all fuji film cameras, I avoid harsh sunlight because the film has too much contrast and too sensitive. I also find that if you don't use the flash indoors, you better use a tripod otherwise there is some camera shake. I think with any of these Lomo cameras a person can get great pics. It is just a matter of practice, experimenting, and being willing to waste some shots.
I love your videos ! ..u've helped me a lot..thank you so much ❤️
Glad they have been helpful!
Excellent review Chris thanks for the tip about the lens cap taking a photo when you press it on before switching the camera off, I will not forget when I get the camera soon, thanks
Thanks for stopping by! You can always take the battery out and not have the problem
Thank you for this video. Have you noticed any problem with the zone focusing? Is it difficult to use? Do you find some photos are out of focus? Thank you so much.
outstanding review.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing. I kind like the remote cover, which a camera finally can put me together with others in a photo without a selfie look.😂
It’s definitely super handy just be carful when putting it back on lol
I love it, I am on my second camera, burned out the one I kickstarted ... I wish it had a screw in cable remoter shutter release or a self timer, i think all cameras need a self timer ... I dig the scale of the instax wide, so for me it's a must have!!!
Yeah totally, a cable remote would be awesome!
Thanks for the video, really useful. Planning to buy my second instant camera (the first one is Instax sq6), thinking about lomo wide. It was realized almost 6 years ago, isn't it out of date? And is it heavy? omg sheets always a problem, quite costly
Thanks for watching! It’s really not that heavy. Definitely bulky though
I was thinking about buying lomography lomo’instant or the lomography fisheye but at the same time I love lomography holga😂
I’ve never bought a film camera so it’ll be kind of a new experience to me.
Any tips ?
Hmm I would start with the cheapest option first to see if you even like it, then if you do you can work your way up.
Really liked your review. I own one already a few years. Sometimes exposure can be tricky, a Fuji Instax Wide 300 has more consistent exposures however no way to turn off the flash. The vignetting of the Lomo is visible but can give some artistic photos... Afraid of losing the lens cap I replaced it with a clip on 49 mm cap and keep the Lomo lens cap separate.
Glad you liked the video! Got lost more on the channel, oh I never thought of getting a new cap that’s a great idea!
Thanks! Whats the trick for getting a properly exposed portrait with this in sunlight shooting backlit? They all come out dark, can't even see my subject. Need to use flash even on a sunny day?
When you say back lit are you meaning the camera is facing the light and your subject is back lit? If so try +1 exposure compensation and maybe with flash
@@JustAnotherChris Yes. Subject is terribly underexposed shooting backlit even on a bright day. I'll try using the flash.
What wide film camera would you recommend? Or just prefer to this one
Fuji wide 210
Hi Chris,
I got problem with my Lomo Instant Wide flash. So recently i use the camera again after a year. The flash not on, the batteries are new and the flash indicator is on (already green) but still no flash. I wonder if you have meet same case as mine, or if you know how to fix it. Love your channel
Hmmm I haven’t had that issue before. Shoot lomography a message they should know what’s going on.
@@JustAnotherChris ah i see! Well, I’ve sent email to lomo a couple times but still no response. Thanks a lot chris. Grettings from indonesia 👍🏻
Oh that’s interesting not sure what’s going on.
Can you use a UV filter instead of a lens cap?
Wouldn’t see why not if you found the right thread size
I had this camera. Bought it from Lomo UK shop. It was trash. Rollers were faulty. Viewfinder was shite to compose shots. Lomo the company was terrible...claimed it was "characteristic" to have imperfections (2 lines across the exposures is not character) so had to get into a dispute to get refunded. Still using my Instax 200 which I bought for a tenner and gives vastly better results. NEVER buying anything from Lomography or their piss poor products.
🔥🔥
Really good review.. I wish we had more slr cameras for this format of film
thank you! glad you found it helpful! I really hope one day there will be!
Okay guys you don't have to select one of those zones. You can focus the camera in between them and it just works
so all the wasted sheets of film due to the lens cap/remote, are user error on your part. wouldn't you have learned your lesson by the 10th error? lol I've had this camera for 2yrs and love it
You just sold me on this camera BECAUSE OF THE VIGNETTE !!!! Thank you :)
Thank you 😊 i like your video
I also hope my comments will keep you doing a good video 📸
Thank you!!
Thinking about getting the lomo wide, i got my first polaroid kinda as inheritence from my grandad, its an sx-70 and dont get me wrong i love it, but compared to its quirks youre complaints seem nominal 😂.
I was alittle harsh on it but I really did like it
What’s the zoom like
There is no zoom it’s a fixed lens
vignette is a primary staple of lomo photography lmao
lmao forgot to take the cap off subbed 🤣
Yes!!
I have no luck with Lomography. I've got Automat Glass and Lomo'wide. Got Lomo'wide as a replacement for defected Automat Glass, but I am convinced the replacement is defected too. 90% of the pictures turn out dark and images are not as sharp as I would like them to be. I have even done comparison to Instax Wide 210 (love this guy) by taking exact same pictures with both cameras and there's nothing to compare - Instax wins. Btw, extra range finder that I have is proper bin material, as all you can see through it is blurriness... It's really disappointing, especially when Lomo'wide is at least 3 times more expensive than Instax wide older models... :(
hmmm I have not had that experience other then heavy vignetting but over all still great photos.
Thanks for this review. I don't really NEED the camera so this has helped me decide not to spend the money.
It’s still a good camera i did like it but I hear you
Just bought the kit with a coupon, ended up being like $30 more than the Fujifilm wide. Hopefully I don’t end up burning thru too much film working out some of the issues it seems to have 💀
You got this! Just be mindful of the cap!
@@JustAnotherChris should get here tomorrow, gonna see if I can remove the battery from it so it becomes just a cap, and not a remote lol
@@CaliKiid714 you know that's a great idea!!
Oh man, I also forget to take the cap off WAY too often hahaha!!
Right?! Super frustrating!!
why dont you just trow the lens cap away
I wonder why some of the photos are yellowish and some are blue-ish - seems they are from different camera.
The the yellowish photos are because of the fires and smoke we had. I mention that in the video.
thanks for being so informative, I'll definitely not buy this one and stick with the fuji wide 300 since it seems like the viewfinder is just as atrocius
I wouldn’t over look this camera. I need to make an updated video on this. It’s actually pretty fun to use. Does take some practice
A true artist never blames their paintbrush...
And what’s this in reference too? This video is like 2 years old haha
@@JustAnotherChris How old the video is relevant how?
How about golf clubs, we have the best clubs ever known to the sport, yet the average handicap has gone up, not down. Does this help?
What about the early painters and the equipment they had to work with, or early photographers who used their homemade cameras, often a box with a hole in it who never blamed the camera, but their lack of understanding the limits of not only the camera but themselves?
If you know your limits and the limits of the camera and still blame the camera, its the photographer at fault, not the camera.
But I repeat myself.
Just leave the lense cap off
DUDE!!! don't push the lens cap on just f****** push the buttons and then push it in place and release the button.
I think you missed the point.
