Product Description
Every picture tells a story when you take it with this funky photographic tool. The Oktomat rapidly fires through 8 tiny lenses in serial succession over a span of 2 seconds. The 8 frames are composed together, producing a mini photo vignette of each print. A lomographic camera that begs experimentation and creativity, the multi-frame format captures movement in interesting, pop-art ways. To get a sweeping close up of stationary subjects, move the camera toward the subject while clicking the shutter. Moving subjects call for good framing, which you master as you go. The flash-free camera requires sun lighting for best results and uses standard 35mm film (and standard processing). Includes wrist strap and full instructional brochure. Collapsible viewfinder. No focusing. Imported. 4.38x3x1.25".

If you use it well..........2007-04-14

I must admit I was apprehensive to purchace the product after some of the reviews of the OKTOMAT, but I have learned that it is an extrememly sturdy product. If used correctly, the OKTOMAT will not break. It is an incredible product and the images it produces range from awesome to so-so. Experimentation is key. It is difficult to get a bad picture from the OKTOMAT. I do suggest signing up with the International Lomographic Society once your camera arrives. It is a great place to store and share your pictures. The OKTOMAT as a whole is a great product that can make anybody a photographer.

I love my LOMO!.......2007-03-03

I got this camera for Christmas and I have been obsessed ever since. It is so fun. I've taken at least 8 rolls by now and it is going strong! You just have to remember it's really just for fun and half of your pictures will probably not look great, but the ones that do are really cool. If you are really ambitious you can scan them and make a mini movie using Photoshop and ImageReady. I've been buying some similar cameras (Super Sampler/Action Sampler) for my friends so we can take them out on picture-taking adventures! It's also fun to join the Lomo official website to upload and share your images. Please note: Always take your shots outside in bright sunlight. Also when you get them developed, ask for rough borders, or else you could end up with some of your picture cut off on the right side. Take it with you everywhere and shoot from the hip!

piece of junk- no stars.......2007-01-01

mine broke first roll. and it destroyed the film. it's a total piece of plastic junk and waste of money. it should cost under $1, or be in a gumball machine somewhere.

mine broke too :[.......2006-10-18

It broke after my 3rd roll.
I was so disappointed!

Otherwise the effects and everything are really neat.

it broke.......2006-01-01

i had this camera for maybe about a month, and i only got to take one roll of film before it broke on me. the film advance lever is really cheaply made of plastic, so it had a hard time pulling the film across and then eventually it just broke on me. What a waste of 40 dollars! its a pretty interesting camera, but if it can't even survive pulling your film across the camera, whats the point of it.
