Cordoba through Lomography Experimental Lens Kit lenses April 8, 2023
About a decade on I’m still enjoying shooting with the three lenses from the Lomography Experimental Lens Kit for micro four thirds. These three lenses where released back when I was working for Lomography and are about as quirky as their announcement trailer. The Kit contains a fisheye, a wide angle and a standard lens and it comes with little filter gels that one can insert behind the lens.
I took the wide angle lens (my favorite out of the bunch) on my trip to Spain in December and (especially on my full spectrum camera) it’s the closest digital thing to a plastic analog camera that I’ve ever used. At f8 these lenses are not exactly bright and the corners have quite some vignetting and blur but that is what makes shooting them fun. For the full spectrum image (‘Bloom’) I used the yellow filter gel. It works quite well to get a bit of a shift towards the infrared part of the light spectrum.
