The Fisheye One White is a 35mm camera. This camera is an edition of the Fisheye One from Lomography.
The Fisheye One White is completely white. It is functional identical to the normal edition.
Features
The Fisheye One camera has a fixed focal length of 10 mm and a maximum aperture of f/8. It also has a close focus distance of only 10 cm, which makes it perfect for close-up shots with lots of details. Unfortunately, the camera doesn’t have a light meter, so all exposure settings are fixed.
The focus of the Fisheye One White is fixed, which means that everything in the image will be sharp, regardless of the distance from the lens. The camera also has a shutter speed of 1/100s, which cannot be changed.
The Fisheye One camera’s built-in flash can be turned on if needed. There is an LED light on the back of the camera that indicates flash readiness. The flash sync time is 1/100s, so you need to make sure you’re shooting in a well-lit environment to get the best results.
The Lomo camera does not have a tripod socket or a thread for a cable release. The camera also does not have a self-timer function to easily take selfies or group photos.
Batteries
The Fisheye One camera is easily powered by one AA battery (eBay / Amazon*). The batteries are only needed for the flash function, as all other camera functions are mechanical. The camera is manufactured in China.
If you want to use the Fisheye One camera underwater, an underwater housing is available as an accessory.
Films for the Fisheye One White
The Fisheye One White is designed for the 35mm format and exposes film of that format. Although the 35mm format is not as popular as it once was, there is still a demand for it that has led some suppliers to produce films for this format.
A 35mm color film for photography is the Kodak Ultramax 400*. A possible black and white film is the Ilford XP2 Super*. Many other manufacturers also produce films for this format.
Both color films and Ilford XP2 Super are developed using the C-41 process. C-41 films can be developed by most photo labs. In addition, most labs make prints of the images immediately and also offer digitization. However, due to the fisheye lens, part of the image is only black.
