Lomography introduces an exciting new addition to its lineup: the Fisheye No. 2 Rodeo Denim, a 35mm film camera that merges playful design with distinctive optical effects. This innovative camera, encased in a stylish denim finish with vibrant orange detailing, is engineered to transform everyday scenes into captivating, curved visuals through its signature 170° circular fisheye perspective.
Crafted for enthusiasts who prioritize intuition over precise adjustments, the Rodeo Denim variant continues Lomography's tradition of compact, easily portable Fisheye cameras. At its core lies a 10mm fisheye lens, providing a broad 170° field of view that results in dramatically distorted, circular photographs. This aesthetic, originally conceived by physicist Robert W. Wood in 1906, has been embraced by Lomography to offer a unique visual experience. The camera's ability to focus on subjects as close as 10 centimeters allows photographers to capture intimate details while still encompassing expansive backgrounds.
Simplicity and creativity converge in the Fisheye No. 2 Rodeo Denim. It uses readily available 35mm film and features a fixed f/8 aperture, along with two shutter options: a standard 1/100 second for regular shots and a Bulb mode for extended exposures. Equipped with an integrated flash for low-light conditions and a hot shoe for external flash units, it also supports multiple exposures for creating surreal, layered images directly in-camera. Designed for spontaneity, this lightweight camera is presented as an ideal choice for documenting various occasions, from social gatherings and road trips to artistic portraits and landscapes, encouraging users to explore photography with a fresh, unconventional approach that values expression above technical perfection.
Embracing the blend of artistic vision and accessible technology, Lomography continues to foster a community where analog photography thrives through experimentation and joy. The Fisheye No. 2 Rodeo Denim stands as a testament to this philosophy, inviting photographers to rediscover the unique charm of film and the boundless possibilities of creative expression.
