5.0 out of 5 stars A fun "toy" for photography enthusiasts, July 12, 2009

I bought a Lomo Action Sampler for a college class several years ago, and quickly became hooked. Simply stated, this is a fun photography "toy'", suitable for every age and skill level. I enjoy using non-digital cameras, and this one produces some unique and beautiful images. There is no flash, so using the camera in bright daylight works best, but I have been able to create some great images in "less than ideal" conditions by using different types of film.

My only complaint is that it's a bit too easy to accidentally expose the film because of the ease of opening the camera body. However, a piece of tape placed over the open button does the trick!

2.0 out of 5 stars broke after 6th picture, November 10, 2011

I ordered my Lomo a couple of weeks ago and the shipping process was surprising fast. Couldn't wait to try the camera and got a film the next day. The weather seemed perfect to me so I started and took my first pictures. Everything worked upto the 6th picture.
After that the sound changed and I already thought something must be wrong.
I finished the film even though I knew there will probably be just a few good pictures.
After the development of the film it became obvious to me. It simply broke. After the 6th picture? Actually I'm very disappointed and not even the Lomo-service answers to my mail. As soon as I get a new Lomo and it works I might be satisfied haha. But somehow I'm not sure yet wheather I do seriously want to waste my money on another film.

Result: The Lomo Action Sampler might be a great fun and there's definitely nothing to say against the price. In my case it was a short fun but I already read of many people that are very satisfied with it. Might be a risk. It's your decission wheather you want to take the risk or save your money for a good book.
At least the 6 pictures I got look quite nice.
I wouldn't buy it again but in my eyes giving one star would be a little too hard.
Let's see what my second Lomo is going to be like in case thy will send me a new one of which I'm not that sure yet.

I haven't actually gotten my film developed yet but that camera has been fun! It was hard to load the film initially but then it worked and I am so anxious to see the prints!
