OK, there will be some exciting Lomography news posted here soon,
but not quite yet.

Until then,

Who is excited about what Lomography product and would like to test it?

Make a convincing case for yourself, and you just might ...
 
Well, I love to see a good instant camera that would take Fuji Instax Wide film. By good, I mean a camera that had a good lens (glass, multi-element) and at a decent selection of shutter speeds. Doubt they'll bring that out though.

If it is something along the lines of the Konstructor SLR, I'd love to get my hands on it. I think that is one of the more interesting/entertaining products they've released. Plus I love putting cameras together.

If it's a film of some sort, I have plenty of cameras to feed.
 
The Lomo'Instant Automat? It was successfully funded on Kickstarter.

Personally I'de love to see an updated Orion-15 to match their Russar+ and J-3+

Or alternatively a new LCA 120! Maybe some accessories to match.. like a Lomo Krab 120!

What if Lomo could re-introduce somethjng like the Oly XA3 or better still the mju2.
How cool would that be? :D

I'd love to see something like this. It probably wouldn't have much going on inside but any of the XAs would be sweet. I could see Lomo doing something like this and making a fair amount of money on them.

Their M mount lenses have been *almost* there for me. I'd love to see them just release versions of all the "popular" Jupiter lenses like the 3, 8 and 12. But I hate the clickless apertures on these lenses. That's what bugs me the most.

Really Lomo could be the ones producing a decent quality compact (LCa wouldn't count I guess)... Seeing the value that the old ones are getting they could even introduce a high end a'là Contax machine.

Stephen did a bit of a teaser to build up hype here. :D Eager to see even if I am not that interested in what Lomo does.

"Nobody is perfect". All of three models of Color Skopar 35 2.5 have aperture ring which is mysteriously switching at its own. And why it is always shifting to smaller apperture... And ZM Planar 50 was my first and last Zeiss ZM lens. I'm not qualified for operator of large and long aperture ring clicker with every freaking 1/3 stop on it.

Perhaps something that takes medium format leaf shutter lenses. Modular would be nice-- instax wide film back, camera body = box, some kind of adaptable lens mount, external bright line finders, bonus points for an external rangefinder (possibly digital, or an app for your phone).

I have almost been considering cobbling together an instax wide back with a Pentax 165mm LS lens myself, for portraits...

Along the same lines-- I hope someone is working on a FAST (focus, aperture, shutter, take the picture) manual camera for the new instax square.

Also, same as above with Hassy lenses for instax square...

That would be cool.
I have kept a couple of Mamiya TLR lenses as they both excellent and are so to take apart and re-purpose.
The taking lens have leaf shutters and apertures within.
The 3.5/105mm tessar was one I used to use on a Gowland Pocket view.
It covers 6x9 without much fall off.
Would be fun to use with instant film even if it had some vignetting and softness on edges. (the Lomo look as it is)
