The Sprocket Rocket SUPERPOP! Green was introduced by Lomography in summer 2011 with the SUPERPOP! Blue, SUPERPOP! Yellow and SUPERPOP! Orange. It is part of the SUPERPOP! edition.
The popular panoramic camera in a neon green version with black buttons to wind the film. The Sprocket Rocket SUPERPOP Green has the same features as the regular panorama camera.
The camera features at a glance
The Sprocket Rocket has a super-wide-angle lens that exposes the film including the perforation. Each photo taken with this camera is roughly equivalent to two normal shots, so approximately 18 images can be captured on a 36 frame 35mm film.
The plastic lens of the Sprocket Rocket has a focal length of 30 mm and a maximum aperture of f/10.8 (almost f/11). Strong vignetting and decreasing sharpness are characteristic for the corners.
For panorama shots, the camera offers two exposure times: 1/100 second and Bulb for long exposures. There is no shutter lock, so multiple exposures are possible by releasing the shutter several times. The film can be fast-forwarded and rewound at will. There are two distance settings: one for close-ups (0.6 meter to 1 meter) and one for everything else (1 meter to infinity).
A strap can be attached by a screw with a handle that screws into the tripod thread. The camera has a hot shoe for connecting an external flash and a thread for a tripod.
Tips for film development
To avoid cut-up images, it is important to make sure that the film is not cut. Since most labs do not make prints with the sprockets on them, it is recommended that you scan the images yourself and then send them to a lab to be printed.
