Okto - 8 is better than 1!

Action sampler photography is named thus as it takes multiple shots within a space of a given time in sequence. Often, these snippets of time are placed within one conventional photo.

With 8 lenses, the Lomo Oktomat is one unique camera. True to the idea of casual spontaneous photography, this little gem takes 8 pictures over 2.5 seconds in serial succession to create your very own micromasterpiece. You choose the scene and setting, the cast and the story and you are now the director. Tell your story, and the fun is endless.

Camera Features

8-Lens Battery
One push of the shutter button releases all 8 lenses over 2.5 seconds, taking a sequence shot that will fit 8 frames into the standard 35mm frame.

Collapsable Viewfinder
A whimsical addition, the viewfinder lets you have a first-person view of what the Oktomat is seeing. Just note that what you see will not be exactly what you'd get. That's part of the surprise and fun!

Fixed Speed And Aperture
Forget about settings. With the Oktomat, there is no need to focus, and no worries. Just point and shoot your Oktomat in full sunlight or slightly overcast conditions (with fast film). These leave you with more time to get creative and compose your story!

The Lomo Actionsampler
Compared to the Oktomat, the Actionsampler has four lenses and uses the same 35mm standard film. The button releases all 4 lenses over the time of 1 second to get four frames on the same negative. Similar to the Oktomat, this camera is perfect to capture movements and action.

It is reccomended to use at least 400ISO even for outdoor shots with a lot of sun. The family comes in clear, chrome and flash.
