Week 189 - Lomo LC-W

Lomo LC-W, a photo by pho-Tony on Flickr.

The LC-W (wide) has a 17mm lens, and can take half frame, square or full frame images depending on which of three film plane masks is installed. Made in China for the Lomography people, this camera is still in production, it's not cheap, but I got mine for half price on Ebay. I've used it several times since acquiring it in February, but have nver used the half-frame mask until this week. I'm taking the opportunity to try a roll of the new novelty "Lomochrome Purple" which is a C41 colour negative film in which the order of the layers of colour sensitive chemical has been altered to try to give somethin of an infra red feel to the images.
