The Fisheye One Rob Ryan Edition is a special edition of the Fisheye One 35mm camera from Lomography. It was created in collaboration with the artist Rob Ryan and differs from other models due to its unique design. It was sold by Urban Outfitters.
Design
The camera is white and has a striking fisheye lens surrounded by a green ring. The shutter button is red and is located on the top. On the front of the camera is a small red button for the flash. The design of the camera is playful and colorful, with floral patterns and birds in different colors. A blue strap is included with the camera.
Functions
Functionally, the Fisheye One Rob Ryan Edition corresponds to the classic Fisheye One and other special editions. It has a built-in flash that is powered by an AA battery (eBay / Amazon*). The battery is only needed for the flash, as the rest of the camera works purely mechanically. The film is transported via a thumbwheel on the back.
The Fisheye One Rob Ryan Edition uses standard 35mm film (eBay / Amazon*), which can be developed and digitized in most photo labs. Films with high sensitivity and wide exposure latitude are recommended.
