The Simple Use Cameras of Lomography could be easily mistaken for disposable cameras, however they’re actually not. Confused? Yes, I was when I first read the press release since when I looked at the cameras they simply appeared to be disposables. After that, I started digging. Lomography calls them Simple Use cameras. They’re designed to appear and function just like disposable cameras, but they have other features that aren’t available, such as the capability to be reloaded and, in certain cases, gels that are placed to the flashes. They’re also priced a bit more than the average disposable camera however when you think about that they can be reloaded and, in certain cases, include gels for the flash, you’re being a poor deal.

ERGONOMICS
The Simple Use Cameras from Lomography are available in three different varieties: LomoChrome Purple, color negative, and the black-and-white. If you choose to color you’ll find flashes with gels that can be used together or used as a pair. The cameras’ fronts are equipped with a button that charges the flash, and there’s the lens as well as the viewfinder and flash.
Top of Simple Use Cameras from Lomography come with a button that lets you release the shutter. It’s that’s all there is.
The back of the camera is where you’ll be able to look through the viewfinder, and then wind the film in the direction you want it to go. After you’re finished, open the camera and load the film again in an upside-down fashion then close it before winding it up to the point of no return. The way the Simple Use Cameras from Lomography operate is that they dewind the film, and you then move it forward.
BUILD QUALITY
The Simple Use Cameras from Lomography aren’t exactly the best built to be truthful. They’re made as disposable cameras, however, they’re only marginally more comfortable. They fit nicely in the hand , and because of the ergonomics, I’m attracted to the cameras. They’re comfortable and ergonomic, and can fit into pockets or bags easily.
EASY OF Utilization
In essence, you need to be aware that you’ve included ISO 400 film in there. This is what the light meter was designed to work with. You then begin shooting the film till it’s completely back in the roll. Then, you open the camera, load the roll, wrap it up, and then keep shooting. Whatever you choose they’re set to take pictures with an ISO 400 and so you can use film that is black and white in this camera, which is a color negative and so on.
Image QUALITY
The Simple Use Cameras from Lomography come with a plastic lens on all of them. However the image quality is quite sharp. I’d recommend users utilize a high-quality film and be cautious about distances to the subject. The entire procedure is laid out in the instruction manual for the camera. Although, since this depends on the type of film that you’re working with, I’m extremely satisfied.
