The Fisheye No. 2 Brut is a 35mm camera. The Brut is a version of the Fisheye No. 2 from Lomography. It was released together with the Cuvée Prestige, Premier Cru and Grand Cru in the Lomography Champagne Edition.
It was presented to the public in November 2012. Parts of the camera are made of real cork. The large rest is in champagne colors.
Brut is a term for sparkling wines and means “tart” in English. The term “Brut” is used for sparkling wines with a residual sugar content of less than 12 gl.
The range of functions of the Brut is congruent with the normal fisheye camera. Thus, it requires 35 mm film, can make double and multiple exposures, and has a built-in flash. This is powered by an AA battery (eBay / Amazon*).
