Brownie Lomo
Lomography question! Kodak Brownie 44B Camera?
Hey I just bought a Kodak Brownie 44B camera which takes 127 film (although I also know how to adapt it to take 32mm film). Anyway, I’m really interested in taking some lomography shots with it and was wondering do I need to purchase a special kind of film to do this? Or can I use any modern 32mm film and still get lomo affect images? Will the camera itself produce lomographic pictures regardless of the film inside?
Yes I did mean 35mm film! Sorry
I agree with jeroen. The brownie was a decent camera and if it is in good working order will take lovely crisp clear photos devoid of all the lo-fi features you are after.
If you want the lo-fi features of light leaks, vignetting and poor focus then buy an original Holga from ebay for a fraction of the cost you will find from the lomographic society.
As for film, if you want the colour shifts commonly associated with lo-fi work then shoot slide film and get it processed as colour negative (cross processing). Other than that, film always was and always will be crisp, clear and colourful (unless it’s B&W obviously) if it’s exposed properly. The so called ‘vintage look’ is a fabrication.
