The Fisheye No. 2 / Lomo Fisheye Number 2 is the world’s only small-format fisheye camera with a new Japanese patent fisheye plastic lens and many other improvements to the Fisheye One. The new lens has a fixed focus from 0.1 m to infinity. So you can get very close to your lens, which is also a rules of lomography.
One of the most requested features on the Fisheye One has been incorporated into the second version, the Bulb mode. Besides the Bulb mode (“B”) and the normal exposure time (1/100 s/”N”), there is also a Lock mode (“L”), so that the camera is not accidentally triggered in the bag or similar.
There is a hot shoe under the detachable viewfinder. For example, the Colorsplash Flash and the Diana F+ Flash can be used with the Fisheye Number 2.
Like the Fisheye One, it also has a built-in flash. This is powered by a standard AA battery (eBay / Amazon*). In addition, with the MX switch, as many multiple exposures as desired can be made.
Included with the Fisheye No. 2, in addition to the instructions, are a poster and the booklet “Fisheye View”.
