unfortunately, I did not yet find the time to search for my dream typewriter… but it’s on my TO BUY list…
However, i did find another vintage gadget which i have been wanting ever since i became more familiar with LOMOGRAPHY through sweetest Reem! Yup i finally did go out to a mall (yes its been so long) & found those two adorable plastic LOMO cameras! ladies & gents, let me introduce my two new funky, retro, film cameras!
The Fisheye 2 Lomo camera in chrome (limited edition).. you see some have limited edition handbags, and i have a limited edition plastic camera! haha it costs 425 AED
These are the specifications:
- Size: 10.5cm x 6cm x 6cm
- Weight: 0.23kg
- Format: all 35mm film (color negative, slide, b&w)
- Field of Vision: 170 degrees
- Approximate focal length: 10mm
- Fixed aperture: f/8
- Shutter speeds: 1/100, “B“
- Flashes: Standard hotshoe & built-in flash (powered by one “AA“ battery which is available everywhere)
- Multiple Exposure switch for unlimited shots on 1 frame (mx switch)
- Film can be processed at any 35mm lab, supermarket, drug store, swapmeet, etc.
and here’s the beauty..
& the Diana F+ with Flash, I had this one on my mind for a while… I love this huge flash, it can also be used on the Fisheye 2.. it would be interesting to get your hands on the Deluxe kit .. the Diana F+ with flash costs 395 AED .. both & more lomo’s can be found in Gallery One in the Mall of the Emirates.. *thanks Reem*
Specifications:
- Uses a 120 Film format, but can be re-adjusted to fit a regular 35mm film (which is easier to find, i still haven’t got my hands on a 120!) anyways, check this clip for the easy steps
- Size: 12.5cm x 9.5cm x 7.6cm
- Variable shutter (daytime “N” & “B” for unlimited long exposures)
- 12-shot (5.2×5.2cm), 16-shot (4.2×4.2cm), and endless Panorama (4.6×4.6cm) formats
- Removable lens for super-wide-angle pinhole shots.
some shots found in the Diana F+ hardcover booklet that’s included in the box
I’m completely clueless & new to all this lomo hype, but I’ve already finished shooting a complete film roll, to be honest, I’m not sure ill come out with anything wicked, because, well…. i shot half of the frames while the lens’s cap is still on >_<’! i keep on forgetting to remove it!
So yes.. ill have plenty of BLACK shots… ill try, ill try really hard to show you the outcome once the film is developed, if i didn’t then please be sure the whole film is unbearably dark!
PS,
مبروك عليكم الرحمة

Hi mem, i modified it to load a 32 mm film (check this post), but i was told i can find the 120 film in Al Salaam shops in Wafi City
Hi, nice camera, but did you find any 120 Film ???
Hi Anne, i’m glad you’ve commented here to remind me that i have 3 films to develop! As far as i can remember, Gallery 1 had the mini and the Holga as well, you’ll find more LOMO cameras in ICONIC, Deira City Center. Hope you find what you’re looking for =)

Hadher..etro Vespa? WOULD LOVE ONE, but a girl in abaya driving it around Dubai? Naah i don’t wanna be on youtube lol
Hadher woow maybe he doesn’t realize that he’s in the year 2009!! and that keyboards and computers exist! lol
Well ofcourse you can link to my blog =) thanks for dropping by
My teacher uses typrwriters… He doesn’t have a mobile too.
Btw, can I link your blog from my blog?
Hope.. they say if you haven’t shot with film, then you know nothing about photography… i guess i know nothing cuz 70% of the pix turned out BLACK lol .. If by any chance you wanted one, let me know, i can get them from here, they seem to be hard to find in the middle east for some reason.. show us your collection on your blog!
DoubleClick.. a thoughtful insight…
الله يبعدنا عن توافه الأمور يميع انشاءالله

So retro! I like such stuff. You have to get a retro Vespa too LOL. By the way, my 65-year-old teacher says that he still uses the typewriters. >_< He doesn't have a mobile, and sends letters to his family thru mail boxes too!
