Swing your head around and imagine your two eyes multiplying into 8 winking in a 2.5-second, serial succession. You, my friend, have tasted only the very beginning of Oktomatic pleasure. With one touch of the shutter button, its 8 tiny lenses fire in turn, creating a multi-frame mini photo vignette. Upload your masterpiece to lomography.com and create a full-action MiniMovie! Uses standard 35mm film and standard processing. SHOOT!! And 8 clack's later your subject is cleanly sliced into 8 little frames, boiled, and served. It's no Hollywood feature, but believe us, 8 frames can tell quite a tale. With the Oktomat, you're on your way to a shining Lomographic academy award

1 out of 5 stars I wish there was a negative star option!   April 15, 2008
I gotta say, this company sure does great marketing... but their products aren't that good. I have this camera, and only 7 of the lenses ever work. Most of the time it is one lens thats broken, but mysteriously, sometimes it will fire while another one won't open. That would all be fine, except for the lens itself is complete garbage. The images are dull and a little blurred. Yes I used it in bright sunlight. Yes, the lens just sucks. Also, the exposures completely vary between lenses, so some frames are blown out, while others are underexposed.
Seems like a fun idea, ultimately a waste of time and money.



1 out of 5 stars Buy at your own risk.   January 20, 2008
I bought this camera brand new in a retail box. First roll of film and it is already struggling mightily to work. The teeth slip off the roll because the flimsy gears are not strong enough to even pull the roll. I finally figured out after wasting a few frames a way to carefully advance the film without the gears letting go. This product is made at a level of a claw-machine toy. There is flat out no excuse for the Lomo company to charge $40 for this item. I totally respect what they have done for the Lomo movement and everything but this is not the way to do it. This product will alienate people from the movement; it is that bad. Go ahead and buy it and you will see what I am talking about. Save your money and buy a genuine Lomo antique from an online auction site.


4 out of 5 stars Really fun   January 19, 2008

Other than being a little wary of its toy-like plastic and the lack of flash, I have no complaints about this camera. I highly recommend it to anyone who is into experimentation and is willing to try different things. I've had results ranging from "What on earth is that burry mess repeated 8 times?" to beautiful scenes I never expected to come out of this ugly red brick.


1 out of 5 stars Too bad it broke right away   January 11, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was so excited for this camera but it broke right away (30 secs after opening it) and I have experience with cameras. I think it is just badly made. My 80's camera made out of plastic lasted a long time but this is cheap plastic. I loaded the camera and it would not advance and I was careful. This would have been so much fun. But I will just take tons of pictures with my old SLR camera and work with that.


1 out of 5 stars Has potential, but not quite there   January 7, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This product could be a really great medium of art, but it's too cheap. For one, it has no flash, which forces you to look out for sunny days to use it. Secondly, it broke on me during my second role of film. Not too surprising, being that it is made of cheap plastic. Invest in a lomo camera with a flash and durability.
