Anyone interested in a monthly Lomo challenge?
When I remember, I shoot a roll of Tri-X with a Holga as part of a Facebook club called the Frugal Film Project (FFP) - various YouTubers have discussed it if anyone is interested. Basically the rules of that contest say that people need to shoot one roll of film a month of a camera that costs $75 or less and it’s been a one to watch and be part of. No prizes, no rewards, no competition- just fun.
So I’ve been thinking- would folks here be interested in a similar monthly running project using Lomo cameras and/or the weird Lomo films (Turquoise/Purple/Redscale/Color ‘92/Metro) and then posting your images in this sub? I’m going to do it regardless as part of the FFP with Lomochrome films and my Holga but if we do it here, I’ll do it with my Sprocket Rocket and might pick up a Diana or Fisheye 2.
Edit: IT’S ON! I’m going to start a December roll tomorrow in the Holga with Metropolis. Looking forward to seeing your rolls when you post them!

Lomo instant automat
just came across this listing for an inbox brand new Lomography instant automat camera, and to be honest it was such a steal that I bought it without researching it thoroughly lol. does anyone use one and if so is there any specifics I should know? I'd love to hear what you guys think of this camera and what to expect!

What limited edition camera would you want to see?
I am a long time lomography collector and I’ve always enjoyed their special editions like the MOMA designs and the White Stripes Holga. What other special designs do you think they will do next? What’s your dream collectors camera?

La Sardina Camera - what 35mm film should I get?
Hello there!
I purchased the La Sardina camera as a gift for my sister in law. I noticed she likes taking photos with a disposable camera so figured she might enjoy this too.
I would like to include a 35mm film as well with this camera that is reasonably priced. Any suggestions? I'm based in New York so it'll be easy for me to go to B&H or something.
Thank you!

110- scanning mask, digitliza, digitiliza max, film mask etc.?
Hello! I'm looking at getting a 110 film camera from Lomography. I'm very very inexperienced in film, & haven't had much luck searching the interwebs for coherent answers.
What is the purpose of a film mask (I know its to hold the film straight while scanning but is it a necessity?).
If I get the digitliza 110 scanning mask, can I just use that with a phone or digital camera or do I need the digitliza max/digitliza+ to go with it?
Is it safe to assume any scanner will work with 110 film, or does it need to be specifically for 110 film?
Thank you in advance and sorry in advance if these questions are really dumb!

New to Lomography - All my pictures are yellow rectangles
Hello! I got a Lomoapparat camera (here) as a gift ~2 years ago. I just got the first roll developed and the photos mostly all turned out yellow, copied below. I used it like a disposable camera and kept the flash on, even in the daylight. Does anyone have any idea why they turned out like this or how to learn how to use it better? I read online the film might be expired.

Microdol -X and ORWO UN54 suggestions please.
The Massive developing chart gives Microdol-X 1+2, when used with Orwo UN54 as 33 minutes. (22 centigrade). Developers like D23, D76, XTOL HC110 etc are quoted as between 8-13 minutes. I assume Microdol-X has more sodium sulphite than "ordinary" developers but 33 minutes sounds way over the top. Surely this is a typo? Does anyone have any suggestions. I don't want to ruin this roll of film
