Product Description
The Actionsampler Flashes' heart lies in its four-lens sequential face, a design miracle pioneered in our original Actionsampler camera. Advancing your film serves to cock an ingenious circular shutter. A quick touch of the shutter release sends this circle into motion, exposing a quarter frame of your image each 1/4 of a second. Original Actionsampler aficionados will note the increased lens quality, sharpness, and contrast of the new Actionsampler Flash. Shooting for maximum impact, the Actionsampler Flash is clad in a charcoal-grey, mirror-gloss finish. As if an insanely bright 4-step flash wasn't enough of a pleasant how-d'you-do, the camera's sleek skin works to additionally attract fond attention your way. With camera firmly in hand, you are poised to both be the life of the party and relentlessly photograph it. All 35mm films will work wonderfully with your Actionsampler Flash. For daytime shooting, 100 ASA color negative is a glowing choice. At night, step up to 800 ASA for better light sensitivity. Try cross processing a slide film roll for other-worldly, yellow-submarine color effects. Load a high-speed black and white film for a high-grain, high-drama film noir shoot.

3.0 out of 5 stars
funny thing to use,
By Lotus "Jo" (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lomographic ActionSampler - Point & Shoot camera - 35mm - lens: 26 mm - chrome (Electronics)
It`s a really good camera as a joke, because really fun to use it, but I am not use to film camera anymore, so it will take a while before I`ll develop the film.

Never arrived,

This review is from: Lomographic ActionSampler - Point & Shoot camera - 35mm - lens: 26 mm - chrome (Electronics)
I paid for this item, and unfortunately missed the first delivery of this. When I got to the post office (due to working many hours) to pick it up, it had been sent back.
I contacted eGadgetpoint and requested a re-delivery, bearing in mind Christmas was approaching, and I needed this item before then. They replied, somewhat tardily and advised they would attempt redelivery at some point. This point never came, despite constant contact from myself to them, to which I received no reply. I pursued a claim to get my money back, and sat back and waited. Finally, a few days before Christmas, I decided to email them again, and I basically said either give me my money back or send this item in time for Christmas. No reply, but a refund went into my bank within a few days. Customer service wise, this company is an absolute joke. I was disgusted that I did not receive an apology, and I was disgusted that they just kept hold of my money for as long as they saw fit. I'm disappointed as my partner is very into Lomography and we would have used them again had the service been there at all, but now there is no way I would use this company, nor would I recommend them to anyone else.

Four shots of fun,
By Schatzi McGee "Lomo-aficionado" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lomographic ActionSampler - Point & Shoot camera - 35mm - lens: 26 mm - chrome (Electronics)
This guy was a long time coming. I got the original Actionsampler a few years ago, and always wanted to shoot it indoors. Alas, all of my attempts came out pretty grainy and dark.
Enter the Actionsampler Flash. I've been basically married to this buzzing little thing - it's awesome! The mechanics are smoother and the images are a lot sharper then the original Actionsampler. And, the four-step flash is great - it's fast as lighting and surprisingly strong. This item is really dope at a concert or party. A few suggestions for prospective buyers... 1. Definitely buy this over the original Actionsampler. It's like night and day. 2. Use 400 or 800 speed film - that shutter moves fast, and anything slower might blur your images (unless you like that). 3. WAIT for the flash to charge fully and the ready light to come on. It can take about 12 seconds or so. If you fire before the flash is recycled, then one element might not flash and you'll get a black frame. 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful:

my first lomo experience,
By M. Martinez "MeL" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lomographic ActionSampler - Point & Shoot camera - 35mm - lens: 26 mm - chrome (Electronics)
i stumbled across these lomo cameras on the amazon.com website. they sounded fun so i ordered this particular camera. wow! i was pleasantly surprised with the different effects you can achieve by "shooting from the hip". definately use 400 or 800 speed film and definately take it everywhere you go. the case of the camera does seem like a cheaply made camera but WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE PICTURES THAT YOU WILL GET. definately worth the money and i will definately order more lomo specialty cameras....got my eye on the fisheye camera!

One trick pony,
By Rhett Redelings "R-Three music | r3music.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lomographic ActionSampler - Point & Shoot camera - 35mm - lens: 26 mm - chrome (Electronics)
Okay, let's be clear about something. The Action Sampler is not a Lomo despite it's being sold and branded by Lomography.com. It IS a toy camera. What you get are 4 frames, each timed 1/200 of a second apart on one frame of 35mm film.
You do not get focus, ASA/ISO controls, shutter speed controls or anything other than a very basic light sensor that determines whether or not the flash fires and the flash itself which is supposedly synchronized to the shutter, although I'm not convinced that it actually is. The four frames are cool but that's this camera's one trick. It's all it does. The optics are terrible quality. If you're old enough to remember the old Instamatic cameras with the 110 film cartridges and the terrible resolution they had, well, this will make you feel all dated and nostaligic. That said, this camera is a blast. You can take pictures of movement but because the lenses all point in slightly different directions, it's you can shoot still images and get 4 very different photos to choose from. And if you like the lo-fi picture quality or the subtle Andy Warhol-esque look of your new 4 framed pictures and don't care too much about getting a really good picture, you'll have a wonderful time. The lenses are focused at "infinity" meaning everything after a few feet is in in focus. Close-up/macro stuff is out of the question. As far as ASA/ISO, I use 1600 or 800 and have it pushed one stop in the lab (effectively making it 1600 with artifacts) or the pictures come out too dim in anything other than the brightest sunlight. That's right, indoor shooting or shooting in the shade is out unless you use really fast film, which also degrades the detail quality. Like the Lomo LC-A and LC-A+, there is a little vignetting but this is not a Lomo and you shouldn't order one thinking that it is. The Lomo LC-A is it's own delightfully weird little camera and takes brilliant shots that put this little toy to shame. The action sampler is also about twice as big as a real Lomo. Think of the Action Sampler as a great nearly disposable party/road trip camera. More fun to use with your friends than alone. If I lost mine, I am not certain if I would replace it but I have seriously considered buying a bunch and giving them out as stocking stuffers next holiday season. This is a 2.5 star camera but I'm giving it a 3rd star because of how much fun it can be. Not a serious camera but a really fun toy. |
