Hi Neil
Thanks for posting the article it was very interesting, I recently ordered the new Belair and am awaiting its delivery, in doing so and joining Lomography I acquired 20 piggy points (don't ask) they were worth £20 so I bought a spinner which I am looking forward to trying. I went down this route to add some extra fun to a hobby I enjoy and take seriously and to support a company that loves film.
Regards
Richard

According to a Lomo survey thier members use on average a film a week. That is one hell of a lot of film

Well I hope they buy their film from elsewhere, as just looking, the LOMO shop sells EXPIRED B/W films for about £1.50 above the price of an UNEXPIRED one elsewhere!!!

I just wish that I thought of the whole idea first.

It reminds me of the first stock market bubble which was said to be in Dutch tulip bulbs. Suddenly at a frantic bidding auction it apparently dawned on all the bidders together that the bulbs just weren't worth it and the market collapsed

I hope I am wrong about the whole Lomo thing but the signs are worrying

Mike
