The Oktomat from Lomography has eight small lenses. They are arranged in two rows with four lenses each.
The camera triggers clockwise and starts with the upper left lens. A complete pass through all lenses takes 2.5 seconds, per lens the exposure time is 1/100 seconds. Thus, 8 small images are also banned one large image.
The aperture is fixed at f/8. The focus can also not be changed. The finished pictures can be cut together to a small movie afterwards.
The Oktomat also has a viewfinder, which consists of two plastic frames and can be folded up after use. Normal 35-mm film (eBay / Amazon*) is required to operate the camera. The 35-mm film can be dropped off at any lab.
The package includes the camera, a wrist strap, and an instruction manual. Like most multi-lens cameras, the Oktomat is very easy to use, so this snapshot camera is well suited for beginners.
