Available by mail order from Altrincham-based Incognito, the Russian Lomo Action Sampler is a cheap plastic camera with four lenses that shoots four separate images onto one 35mm frame at quarter of a second intervals. The film is then processed at a standard photofinisher. The original Lomo Kompakt Automat spawned a cult following and the birth of the Lomographic Society in Vienna. Fans include Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, Brian Eno and Jarvis Cocker. The Lomo Action Sampler model sells at 19 pounds in the UK and comes with an instruction guide. http://www.lomo.com Jim
