The Lomography Fisheye No. 2 Volcom is a limited edition developed in collaboration with the Volcom brand. It has a striking design with the Volcom logo and a black and white pattern.
Features
The Fisheye No. 2 Volcom is a Lomography 35mm analog camera with a fixed fisheye lens. This lens has a focal length of 10 mm and a maximum aperture of f/8. The focus is fixed, which means that all subjects within a certain distance range are in focus.
The camera has no internal light metering, so exposure settings must be made manually or an external light meter used. A bulb mode is available for long exposures, where the shutter remains open as long as the shutter button is pressed. A built-in flash and a hot shoe for external flash units enable shots in low light conditions.
Batteries and films
The Fisheye No. 2 Volcom is powered by one AA battery (eBay / Amazon*), which is needed to operate the flash and other functions. Commercially available 35mm film can be used, both color and black and white. Popular options include the Kodak Ultramax 400* for color shots and the Kodak T-Max 400* for black and white shots.
After exposure, the films must be developed using the C-41 process offered by most photo labs. The negatives are the standard 24mm x 36mm format. Film advance is manual, as the camera does not have an automatic film advance motor.
The Fisheye No. 2 Volcom is a limited edition and is no longer produced. Used copies are available on the second-hand market, although prices may vary depending on condition.
