Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Outdo Andy Warhol and push the borders of pop art into new territory with the Pop 9 camera. Equipped with nine lenses arranged as a square, the Pop 9 produces photos with a grid of nine mini-photos produced from the corresponding lenses. Since each lens is a few millimeters apart and has a slightly different perspective, each photo provides a unique take on the same object.

(All sample images)

The built-in automatic flash provides you with even more shooting opportunities.

Also included with the camera are a 35mm color film roll, AA battery, full-sized editorial poster, and multilingual instructions. Read the directions to get a feel, but experiment above all else. Take the Pop 9 into the world and reorganize it in a three-by-three pattern.

Product Description

One single shot produces 9 identical images on one print - instantaneously transforming the environment around you into explosions of pattern-repeating pop-art. Shapes, angles, and bulges engage each other between the 9 repeating frames, producing a simply amazing photographic wallpaper of images. The Pop 9's metallic gold skin perfectly complements the most fashionable of looks, and its built-in flash allows for gorgeous results in low-light and nocturnal activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars It really works, August 4, 2003

By	"suealex1" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I just opened my new Pop 9 and was a bit surprised. It's made of cheap gold plastic- REALLY cheap. The "lens cap" has a tiny plastic handle to pry it off- it's already almost broken off. The film is a little tricky to engage too. However, I just got back my first set of prints, and they're great! Not a blurry shot in the bunch, no matter how close up I took the photo. The view finder is off-kilter, but after one roll you can pretty much see how to adapt. I love it! Fun fun fun. I can't wait to take more shots. There are so many possibilities with this camera!

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Warhol, April 16, 2003

By	FKC "FKC" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This low-frills camera delivers arty photos at the press of a button. No need to focus. Just turn on the flash and shoot away. Keep in mind that what you see through the viewfinder is a smaller portion of the image you are capturing.

I have not been disappointed with this fun camera. Not for serious photos or photogs, it nevertheless provides fun and fun pictures. Be sure to warn the developer that your plain 35mm film has been run through a 9 lens camera. I haven't had the slightest trouble in devloping from the corner drug store, just so long as I let them know what they're getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Lomo with a flash!, July 5, 2002

By	Richard Atkinson "chumleyra" (Pensacola, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Pop 9 takes nine shots on one image and puts them onto one frame of film--as if someone drew a tic-tac-toe board on your picture and put a little photo into each slot.

Unlike Lomo's other two "multishot" cameras, the Supersampler or Action Sampler, which take photos at a fraction of a second apart, the Pop 9 takes all nine photos at once--so there isn't any "action" motion.

However, the flash let's you use it indoors.

As soon as my friends see it, they keep stealing it to snap pictures, so have lots of film handy if you bring it to party.
