Just in time for Valentine's Day, you can now pick up the Lomo limited edition Diana F+ Mr. Pink camera for your loved one. Presuming your loved one is a lover of the colour pink obviously.

Only available online, the Mr Pink is essentially another edition of the Diana, this time with a flourescent pink body and a few little touches that are certain to appeal to the Lomo collector (including the 50s-style Mr Pink logo around the lens). More practically, there's a large flash, the optio to use 35mm film, neck strap, lens cap and coloured filters.

Sold with the 'More True Tales & Short Stories' Diana Vignettes hardcover book , you can pick one up in limited numbers for around £84.

Acme Made Bowler – bowling-style bag for your camera

Posted on | Leave a comment

Ok, we're talking a pretty niche market here, but we really love the Acme Made Bowler.

It's essentially a bag for your camera – a serious (and substantial) digital SLR camera specifically, with padding to keep it secure and small pockets for your extras (like storage cards for example). And while that makes it a practical item for photographers, it's the look of a vintage bowling bag that we're sold on. In fact, even if you didn't have a camera, this glossy red bag would be cool for carrying around your essentials.

We have scoured round for a retailer, but as yet, we can't find one. It might be worth checking with the Acme Made sellers (listed on the site) to see when they're getting stock. Price quoted is $39.99, which is a ridiculously cheap £27.

It's aimed at kids, but a lot of us big kids will almost certainly be picking up the Lego digital camera.

The camera is part of a range of gadgets being produced by the company, which also includes video cameras, MP3 players, walkie talkies, boom boxes and radio alarms, all made of Lego bricks, but all arriving ready made.

Details about the camera are scarce, but as it's primarily aimed at kids, expect it to be tough and robust, with the option of re-building the case should there by any 'little accidents'. Initially arriving in the US, the range will sell for between $19.99 and $59.99, which seems cheap enough to me.

Lomo_glow

Not just a Lomo Diana camera, this is a limited edition – the Diana Glow.

So what’s new? Well, the image and name might give it away. Yes, this is a glow in the dark version, which will certainly turn heads in darkened bars and clubs. As will that original 1960s design and those slightly ‘out of focus’ images that the camera produces.

Other additions for the limited edition pack include the Diana+ flash, a ‘More True Tales & Short Stories’ Diana Vignettes hardcover book, colour gel filters, 12 and 16-shot format frames, a shutter lock, neck strap and a lens cap. You can pick one up for £80.

Sonic Chair – Ball Chair with iMac and built-in speakers

Back in 2007, we featured the Sonic Chair, a modern day take on the Eero Aarnio Ball Chair, but with added sound. Well, now there’s a new version on the block – the Sonic Chair with built-in iMac.

Yes, still keeping that space age ball shape, aluminium pedestal, leather exterior and orange interior (other colours are available), the new Sonic Chair also comes with a touch screen iMac, which means you can kick back with your favourite websites whilst at the same time enjoying some of your favourite tunes.

Indeed, that impressive sound system is still there – a mix of satellite speakers and a body-focused sound membrane for beats you can feel as well as hear. Sadly, the price is still restrictively high – expect to pay the best part of £10,000.
