Pop Ya Collar
I picked up a Pop 9 to add to my LOMO collection. Cheap or not, the lens quality is great. Colors and sharpness are right on, and you can get REALLY close to your subject.
As everyone else said - it's a cheap, fun, and flashy item. The gold finish is gaudy and a fun conversation piece. You'll be the focus of attention with this thing in your hand. The viewfinder is basically useless, so just aim the camera as best you can and experiment. Every time you have prints made, it's a surprise. Even the most mundane objects can look really artsy with the Pop 9's format.
Can you take 9 shots with a regular camera or layout a nine-frame, repeating image in Photoshop? Sure. But that's not the point. It's all about having fun, snapping some shots on film, not knowing EXACTLY what you're shooting, and getting back an envelope of nice surprises from the lab.
go andy!
the andy warhol of plastic cameras.
that's why you want to have this camera. and it might be mistaken for a real gawdy pocket book and therefore camouflage your photo-nerdiness quite well. and might finally add that bling bling touch to your wardrobe. well kidding aside, it is not the very best invention the guys from lomographic society came up with, but it still is a great deal of fun and some of my images taken with it look quite fabulous. and i am a collector, so i just had to have this one too. pop up. pop on.
Haha, how stupid is this?
Can't believe people actually pay for this kind of crap.
