Lomography introduces the La Sardina film camera range Posted: 17 Jun 2011 04:18 AM PDT 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. Opt for El Capitán and Fischer´s Fritze and you also get a powerful flash with three distance settings and coloured filters for even more quirky shots. On top of that, the 35mm cameras each  have a 22mm super-wide-angle lens and ease of use - it's effectively point and shoot with these babies. Check out the microsite for the full technical lowdown and if you like what you see, the camera are priced from £49. Find out more at the Lomography website
