Sprocket Rocket @ RM350


Lomography’s latest camera is a bite-sized guy (5″ across) with a panoramic lens and, of course, manual film advance. It’s called the Sprocket Rocket, and it’s about as simple as cameras get these days. The lens is extra-wide-angle to capture extra-full-bleed on the film (i.e. you can print the sprocket holes and numbering), and there are two knobs, for forward and backward film scrolling. The result is the usual ridiculous Lomo-style pictures with their weird focus and crazy colors. If you’ve used a Lomo before, you know what you’re getting into. Its exposure options are limited to 1/100th and bulb, and the aperture numbers are too sad to even relate, but they should be suitable for outdoor photography.
