Product Description

The First and Only! Lomographic In-the-Water-Camera: with or without flash, always ready for action anytime and anywhere there's water: in the ocean, a lake, a river, a stream, a puddle, the bathtub, the shower, or swimming pool, in the village fountain, in the cleaning trough, under the waterfall, in the gutter, down to a depth of 4 meters (12 feet). Boasting a slim body, a color-busting lens, and a just-at-the-right-time electronic flash, the Frogeye can splash through the pool, ride in the car, snorkel in the sea, keep watch during dinner, and fight past the velvet rope. Blame it On the rain, the sea, the tub, hurricanes, typhoons, avalanches, and all other forms of accidental and intentional water that formerly conspired to stop our constant Lomography dead in its tracks. With the Frogeye in hand or strapped to a limb, your (click!)ing knows no bounds of wet or dry. It is your amphibious companion, a squinty little guy to contribute to the incredible photo diary of your hyperactive life

I bought this camera for snorkeling shots in The Bahamas.

Before I ever hit the water, the battery compartment lock broke in two. I managed to work around that problem.

The first roll of film didn't fully rewind.

On the third roll, the rewinder motor went haywire. End of story.

The underwater shots I did manage to get with it were pretty good. Above water, not so great.

I found the information sent with this camera long on art and short on helpful information.

I bought this one because I had a pleasant experience with the former Lomo Lubitel and the cheap yet precise Smena. This Frog Eye has nothing to do with the good old Lomo name: Perhaps the name switch to Lomography implies a change in quality as well. First surprise, the flash cannot be put off or forced in. Not too bad because anyway the camera went berserk at its first roll: the flash it's not working anymore after only some 20 shots! The display indicates costantly that batteries are low, and when I changed the triple A doublet not only didn't solve the problem, but the frame counter restarted from zero. To add to this 59 $ disappointment, the image quality of the photographs is quite average, which makes one dream of the many top of the line disposables available. Spend your money sensibly!

got at clearance from Nat'l Geographic - same problem with battery reading low, inconsistent flash and not being able to take more than 1 or 2 photos before everything just stopped. Returned it, looked for another but all the prices were higher. Think I'll look for another method.
