The Fisheye One Grey is a special edition of the fisheye camera from Lomography. The 35mm camera was released in October 2012 and its design is gray. Except for the design, it does not differ from the other Fisheye Ones.
Features
The Fisheye One Grey Camera is a unique and fun camera designed to capture wide-angle, distorted images. The camera type is a fisheye camera, which means it has a focal length of 10mm and a maximum aperture of f/8. The body material is plastic, which makes it lightweight and easy to carry around.
One of the remarkable features of the camera is its close focus distance of only 10 cm, which allows you to get very close to your subjects.
The camera has a fixed focus, and the shutter speed is set to 1/100s, which is suitable for most daylight conditions.
The Fisheye One Grey Camera has a built-in flash that can be turned on if desired. The flash sync speed is set to 1/100s, which is synchronized with the shutter speed. The LED light on the back of the camera indicates flash readiness.
Battery
The camera is powered by one AA battery (eBay / Amazon*), which is only needed for the flash. All other functions of the camera are mechanical. The camera is manufactured in China. There is an underwater housing as a separate accessory, which allows underwater shooting.
The film transport is manual. There is a thumbwheel on the back of the camera that allows you to wind and unwind the film. Through a window on the back, you can see the film loaded. On the top, you can see how many shots you can still take or have already taken.
Films for the Fisheye One Grey
According to the instruction manual, 35mm films are exposed in the Fisheye One Grey. 35mm films are still made by various producers. A color film for the 35mm camera would be the Kodak Gold 200*. A possible film for black and white images is the AgfaPhoto APX 100*.
The color film is a negative film and is processed in the C-41 development process. The C-41 process is standardized and offered by most developing labs.
