Lomography Coloursplash Camera

Spring is nearly over and summer is peeping around the corner, so no doubt you will have many a picnic to go to. When you do, make sure you take a Lomography camera with you. The Lomo Kompact's short but sweet story began in 1980's Russia when General Igor Petrowitsch Kornitzky, right hand man of the USSR Ministry of Defence and Industry, handed a rather curious looking Japanese mini-camera to his buddy Michail Panfilowitsch Panfiloff, director of the LOMO Russian Arms and Optical factory. As Mr Panfiloff adjusted his glasses and leaned over this little gem with the inquisitive wonder of a child he was elatedly surprised to see a sharpe clean lens, an extremely high light sensitivity and robust casing. Immediately orders were given to copy and improve the optical pearl before them for the glory and pleasure of Soviet Russia, and thus the LOMO LC-A (Lomo Kompact) was born. Various playful changes and versions have been made as the LOMO has matured, most notably the Lomography Coloursplash Camera which comes with 9 additional filters so you can grace each shot with a colourful hue as rare as a snowflake.
