The Lomourette Water Lilies is a photo camera. It will be sold with a flash for around 90 euros in 2024. The range of functions of the camera is similar to the Lomography Lomourette.
The Lomourette is a 35mm camera in the style of classic film cameras, inspired by models such as the Diana Mini and Diana F+. As a so-called toy camera, it is particularly suitable for creative and experimental photography.
Technical features
The camera has a built-in 24mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/8. Focusing is done manually in four steps (0.6 m, 1-2 m, 2-4 m, 4 m to infinity). There is no light meter, instead there are two exposure times to choose from: 1/60 second and Bulb (B) for long exposures. Multiple exposures are also possible.
The Lomourette does not require batteries and offers connections for a flash (Diana F+ Flash or Hot Shoe Flash with adapter) and a camera strap. There are no connections for a tripod, cable release or self-timer.
Films and handling
The camera is designed for the widely used 35mm format. Suitable films such as the Kentmere 100* (black and white) or Kodak Ultramax 400* (color) are easily available. Of course, there are many other suppliers of photo films for the Lomography camera.
The color film is developed using the common C-41 process. This development process is offered by most professional photo labs. The black and white film must be processed using a suitable development process for this type of film.
The Lomourette exposes an area of 24 mm x 18 mm per image and thus enables up to 72 shots per film roll. The film is transported manually as there is no automatic motor. There is a rotary knob on the top of the camera body for this purpose.
