Thrift Store Find: Lomography Fisheye 2

I had a good week finding cameras at my local thrift stores. This time, it's a Lomography Fisheye 2 camera. It sports a fisheye lens, with a built-in flash and multiple exposure capability.

Thrift Store Find: Lomo Smena 35

This is a Lomography version of a Smena 35mm film camera. I just picked it up at a local thrift store and haven't had a chance to run a roll of film through it yet.

Thrift Store Finds: Kodak 110 Film Cameras

Now that Lomography has come out with new films for 110 cameras, I have picked up a couple from my local thrift stores. These cost $2-3 dollars each. The one on the left is a Kodak Instamatic 20, a bare bones camera with no exposure controls. It uses the Magicube flashbulbs, which require no batteries. The other camera is a Kodak Tele Instamatic 608, which uses flip flash bars or a special electronic flash unit. This camera also has no exposure controls, but has a little slide switch which flips an auxilliary telephoto lens in front of it's primary lens for a little gain in the lens reach. I am working on my second roll of Orca film loaded in my Kodak Ektra 200 110 film camera.  I am looking into labs that can process this film for me, but will probably process it myself, as it looks like the cost of sending it to a lab may be rather expensive.

Thrift Store Find: iZone Digital Combo

I see lot's of Polaroid iZone cameras at the thrift stores, but this is the first time I've run across this particular model. I've never heard of it before either. It's called the iZone Digital Combo camera. It's an iZone camera with a built-in digital camera added to the top. According to the Land List, it was produced in 2000-2001 and originally cost $99.95.

It sports a .3Mp digital camera with 1Mb of memory, 18 digital photos at 680x480p, an RS-232 serial PC connection, an optical viewfinder with no display LCD.

The iZone section of the camera is a standard iZone camera. The analog and digital cameras are separate from each other, but appear to share the same power source, since there is a switch to transfer the 4-AAA power source from one camera to the other.

Unlike most of my thrift store purchases, I don't consider this a usable camera, as iZone film is no longer available and the digital camera requires an outdated PC connection and PC software to download the photos.

Cost: $5.99
