Product Review: Lomography Oktomat Compact 35mm Camera

With all the high-tech gadgets in our digital world, we can capture moments with the click of a button. While moving film has its perks, old school photography boasts an unparalleled charm. Lomography’s Oktomat ($40) eight-lens camera captures action sequences on paper; one push of the shutter button reveals all eight lenses for a 2.5 second interval. Eight “clacks” later, a spread of photos imprints itself on your film and you’ve successfully seized a moment. The best part? Just drop the film off at CVS for standard processing.

So next time your digital camera fails to capture your friend’s priceless face or your kid sister’s cupcake eating (more cake and icing on the face than in the mouth), fall back on this lightweight (.4 lbs) old-fashioned alternative. No need to adjust the aperture or speed — you’re one click away from eight storytelling frames.
