The ActionSampler or ActionSampler Clear is probably one of the most famous cameras from Lomography. The camera is made in China of clear plastic with 4 lenses. With these four lenses, it captures short action scenes on film.
The ActionsSampler’s four plastic lenses capture motion in a series exposure. The exposure time is 1/100 s, and one frame is exposed every 0.22 s. The lenses are then used to capture the action. The complete time for the exposure of one image (=4 frames) takes 0.66 s In bright sunshine you get the best results with a film with a sensitivity of ISO 100. For worse weather, a film with ISO 400 is required for good results.
The viewfinder, which consists of two small plastic frames, can be folded for transport. It takes any ordinary 35mm film and will develop normally in any lab.
