    urban outfitters in dublin are selling off their lomography fisheye cameras for €30.99 which is about €10 cheaper than buying from the lomography site.
    im gonna try to grab one today as they only have a few left.

    Jaysus yeah I might. Will you be at the orpheus gig on friday evening?

    Hmmm, I'm shooting The Arrangements on Friday. Where are Orpheus playing? Which camera you want?

    [ontopic] Some advice for anyone getting the fisheye.

    Use the flash.

    Don't use film over 400ISO, it gets VERY grainy at even 400 because of the lens.

    When you're getting the film developed tell them NOT to cut the negs, or you'll have images cut in half.

    Shots tend to be in focus from about 3 inches onwords, but there's a LOT of distortion.

    Try getting them on 6 x 6 inch prints.

    When you're loading film,it's pretty easy to miss, but you have to hook the film on the tiniest raise of plastic on the reel. You'll see what I mean!

    And lastly...Shoot as much as you can!

    Sorry if it seems like I only ever come on here to moan about Lomo (I do love my Smena!) but I reckon you'd be better off paying €60 for a macro/half fisheye attachment from Jessops. Well I suppose if you didn't have an slr it'd be no use, but those fish eye cameras are pretty flimsy.

    I don't, sorry Tom, but if you're in Dublin Jessops have them in stock, but not the attachment piece (maybe they do now). Gunn's are ordering one in for me, so you could try there too
