The Lomo LC-Wide: One Film Camera Probably Not Worth Buying Right Now

In our guide to the vibrant used film camera market last week , we showed you that a couple hundred bucks can buy a lot of top-notch image quality, both in 35mm and medium formats.

  3. The LomoKino, you'll remember, is a $79 movie camera which captures 50 seconds in 144 frames on a single roll of 35mm film. It offers Lomo's trademark crappy image quality, and requires you buy film and then get it processed.
