new toy - Lubitel 166


finally got this! i've been eyeing on this camera for almost a year, it's a bit unusual for me to be able to hold off not buying something i really want for that long. Basically it's cos of the price in Perth, knowing the retail price in HK Lomo shop and the extra's that come with it, i just can't justify buying just the camera for AU$580. I've also been thinking whether i should get the real deal on eBay for a lot less, but then i really like the new features Lomo put in this one...

I spent 2 nights reading the manual and tips online before i load the first roll of 120mm, and so far i've only shot 6 images. shooting analog is so exciting, and it made me think twice before taking a picture. i can't wait to finish this roll and try to shoot 35mm with it!

the image in the viewfinder is reversed, it's still driving me crazy :P
