I am with Luis on this one. I have never understood the attraction of 
the likes of Lomo, Lensbaby, Holga etc. If someone needs to use inferior 
  equipment for economic reasons, that's one thing (and many great 
images have been produced by people in this category). But deliberately 
using what amounts to a Coke bottle bottom to make pictures and then 
claiming it to be ART or whatever, well...

Suffice it to say that the Lomo will not be missed here.
