The Fisheye One Vanilla was introduced by Lomography in May 2012. The clone of the Fisheye One was presented together with the Cherry. The plate on the front of the camera is decorated with a vanilla-colored pattern. The rest of the camera is light brown.
This version of the Fisheye One also has the same features as the regular Fisheye One.
This camera features a 10mm fisheye lens that covers an extreme wide angle of 170 degrees. This allows users to capture extensive scenes in tight spaces or achieve a creative, distorted look for their photos.
The camera has a fixed shutter speed of 1/100 second, which allows for good exposure in daylight, and a manual shutter release, which allows users to control exposure manually. The Fisheye One camera is lightweight, portable and easy to use, making it a great choice for beginners and anyone looking for an unusual camera.
Another feature of the Fisheye One Vanilla is the built-in flash. It can be switched on with a slider on the front. It draws its power from an AA battery (eBay / Amazon*). This type of battery is very easy to find and lasts for a long time. The battery is only needed for the flash, all other functions, as well as taking the picture itself, are possible without the AA battery.
