We’re big fans of Lomo photography, so we’re always pleased to see new models – like the Lomography La Sardina film camera range.
It’s a very fishy-themed camera, based on the design of a sardine tin, as you might have guessed from the one pictured above and the three cameras featured over the page,. They go by the names of El Capitán, Fischer´s Fritze, Sea Pride and Marathon, each with their one vintage-style imagery and colour.
While Apple's iPad isn't particularly retro, some of the accessories made for it certainly are. Topping that list so far is the Etch A Sketch iPad case, but giving it a run for its money is this handmade wooden Retro TV iPad dock at Etsy.
A lovely piece of design that apes a vintage TV, it has been made to custom fit an iPad or iPad 2 and should look just the part if you happen to be watching iPlayer or 4OD on your tablet.Not sure how practical it would be for more general use, but who cares…its looks great. That's the main point.
Available on Etsy, $60 or £37.99 is the price.
Not just one old TV, this a collection of four vintage televisions.
If you want to get up close and personal, see the listing page for larger images of all the sets, all of which are described as being in 'excellent' condition, with the odd bit of discolouration and some wear through age. But nothing serious, with all the sets working.
For your money, you get a Philips G17T320-02, stood on that tulip base, along with the JVC Videosphere, complete with base and hanging chain, a Sony 9-90UB TV from 1969 and that orange Loewe TV from the early 1970s. Bidding stands at £399.
Yellow Owl Workshop has produced a collection of ornaments, under the name Ceramic Photographic Legacy, which should appeal to photographers and fans of vintage cameras.
Pictured here is the Ghost Camera 1980, which is modelled on the One Touch camera. There is also one from the 1960s in the style of the Argus Brick camera and from the 1970s based on the SX-70. Each one is hand cast in glazed earthenware in stark white.
They cost $70 each from Buy Olympia.
With so many variations on the same thing, it’s nice to see something new from Lomography. Although the new LC-Wide is actually a new take on the first-ever Lomo, the LC-A.
It’s a more versatile model than that cult classic, now with a specially-developed ultra-wide-angle 17 mm Minigon glass lens and the option to take snaps in full, square or half-format, the last of those offering 72 shots on a roll of 36-shot film if you want test out your skills. Yes film, like all the Lomo range. Of course, the ultra-wide-angle lens means you can also opt for some panoramic shots too for the bigger picture.
If you want the full technical breakdown, check out the website for that. Indeed, it’s only available to buy online and in limited numbers right now. £349 is the price.
