The Actionsampler Flash is a 35mm camera from Lomography. The camera is colored in plain silver.
The Actionsampler Flash has all the familiar features of the ActionSampler camera and also makes it possible to take pictures where the normal ActionSampler fails because of the flash. It captures action indoors, at night and in dark environments on 35mm film.
The 35mm camera does not have a viewfinder, like the normal ActionSampler, because the flash is located at this point. Before taking the next photo, you should wait for the flash to recharge. From 1.2 m to infinity everything is in the focus of the lens.
Whether by day, by night, at parties or at concerts, there is no impossible situation with the ActionSampler Flash. The four-stage flash is perfect for the camera. It is powered by two regular AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
