Lomography

Lomography started in 1992 when a group of students happened on a quirky Russian Lomo LC-A camera in an old-school camera store and began shooting with it. After they had their film developed, the strangely beautiful images became immediately popular with friends, family and even strangers.

The decision was made to found the Lomographic Society International. Today Lomography is a global organization dedicated to experimental and creative photography. The group evolved into the Lomography company, a designer as well as manufacturer of analog cameras and photographic accessories.

  1. Happy that I have mine, easy to see why this lens sold out so quickly. This is the best Jupiter-3 that I’ve seen, the build quality is on par with the vintage Nikkor RF lenses of the 1950s.
