How It Works (Practical Use)
-
-
Each lens has an alignment mark (a small line on the side) that lines up with the dot or mark on your camera’s mount. Match those two points, then twist gently until the lens locks into place. It’s designed to fit snugly and securely once aligned.
-
Manual mode or aperture priority are best for creative control. You can also experiment with higher ISO in low light since the lens has a fixed aperture. Part of the fun is discovering the unique looks you can achieve!
-
Absolutely! Many videographers love the soft, film-like look it imparts. Thanks to its fixed focus, it’s always ready to go—ensuring you never miss that perfect moment.

“Well, what can I say... I fell in love very quickly! It arrived super fast. It is very nicely designed and crafted. Fits perfect to my x-mount Fuji. But most of all it brings this nice touch of mystery back to your photography game.

This lens is lightweight, well crafted and fits perfectly on my Fuji X camera. It made me fall in love with lomography again. The results are sometimes dreamlike which I really enjoy. I would definitely purchase more lens of this kind because of its simplicity. I also really like this focal length for street photography. Highly recommended!
