panhaimage: February 2013

I have found a lomography shop in Antwerp September last year 2012. I was inspired by Mijonju Show (I love Camera like a fat boy chocolate cake) on YouTube, even though that I had been living in Russia, I had not notice the lomo-compact camera (Ломо). The Lomo society moves me a lot with the new interest of searching the possibility of photography art.

I had visited lomography shop several times and had purchased several gear and film for testing.
For the first test with - lomography color negative 100 speed film, the result of testing impressing me with new crazy color.
Shooting film cost money but you get honey!
Camera: Canon AE-1
Lens: 28mm Promaster f2.8
Film: lomography color negative 100
ASA: 100
The Promaster 28mm f 2.8 It seem to lack of sharpness, if compare to Canon FD lens.
