What can I say about my favorite camera of all time that hasn't been said before? Instead of waxing poetic about the saturation, the sharpness, the ethereal nature of the photos this camera produces, I'll give you the Lomographic Society's lovely description of its creation as a Soviet Dreammachine.

General Igor Petrowitsch Kornitzky, right-hand man to the USSR Minister of Defense and Industry, slammed a little Japanese mini-camera onto the ornate desk of his comrade Michail Panfilowitsch Panfiloff. Mr Panfiloff, Director of the powerful LOMO Russian Arms and Optical factory, examined the camera closely, noting its sharp glass lens, extremely high light sensitivity and robust casing. The two gentlemen, realizing the superior nature and extreme potential of this strange little item, gave immediate orders to copy and improve the design - with the ultimate goal of producing the largest quantity possible for the pleasure and glory of the Soviet population. It was decided - every respectable Communist should have a LOMO KOMPAKT AUTOMAT of their own.

So there you have it. Here's my collection of personal favorite shots I've taken with this magnificent little beauty. Click on images to view fullsize...please be patient and let the page load first (this is the biggest gallery). Cheers!
