The Fisheye No. 2 Brazilian Summer is a special edition fisheye camera from Lomography. It was introduced to the public on May 16, 2014.
The Fisheye No. 2 Brazilian Summer is based, as the name suggests, on the design of the host of the 2014 World Cup, Brazil.
The camera is adorned with a constellation on the back and illustrations of a Brazilian beach on the front. The Brazilian Summer is decorated in green, blue and yellow.
The functions of the Fisheye No. 2 Brazilian Summer are identical to the normal Fisheye No. 2. It is equipped with a fisheye lens, requires 35mm film, has a built-in flash and a hot shoe for an external flash. The built-in flash requires one AA battery (eBay / Amazon*) for operation, otherwise the camera requires no power.
