how to repair your LOMO LC-A/ LC-A+

Since TCS has been bringing in vintage LC-As from Russia, I wouldn’t mind telling you that I’ve been fiddling with my own LC-A to see what’s inside and learn a bit on how to repair it, just in case (god forbid)…mine broke down. For those who likes to tinker, fiddle or has a broken LC-A/ LC-A+, you can try to repair it yourself!

However, do it at YOUR OWN RISK! Not for the faint hearted.

Here are some pictures from Rob Cruickshank’s Lomo repair set in Flickr. I use them as a guide when dismantling the camera.

Check it out <here>.

Good luck and have fun!

how to do multiple exposure on your LOMO LC-A

There’s two ways to do multiple exposure on your original russian LOMO LC-A.

A. Simple tweak:

1. Take a shot.
2. Push the button on the bottom right as if to rewind the film (camera back facing you).
3. Move the advance wheel as if to advance to the next frame.
4. Take another shot. The pictures will overlap (double expose).
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for multiple exposures.

B. Adding a multiple exposure button/ switch to your LC-A similar like the LC-A+. This one requires surgery on your camera. Pls do it at your OWN RISK!

Have fun and remember to share your multiple exposure shots!!!

[Pimp My Cam] Starry Starry Hari!~

While I was studying for my exam painting my nails, a brilliant idea striked me! Why don’t I pimp my Digi Hari with nail polish? So here is what I did to my Digi Hari.

Step 1: You will need the following items
- Digital Harinezumi
- Nail Polish (I prefer glittery ones coz I’m trying to make a Starry Starry Hari!)
- Nail Polish Remover
- Some Stickers (The thicker/plastic-ky the better because some nail polish might seep through if its not water proof enough)
- Pen knife
- Pencil / Pen

Digi Hari: Did you know?!

What I’m about the reveal may spoil some lomography fun but if you haven’t heard from somewhere yet, you might as well hear it from here right?

Yes we know the digi hari has no live view and the effect are pretty much random. What if I told you that you can on the live view and also control the effects to your liking? keke… it’s cool but like I said it will ruin the lomography fun. So pls try it at your OWN RISK!

Step 1: Off your Digital Harinezumi

Step 2: Press and hold the shutter button, while holding power-up the Digital Harinezumi to enter R/B setting. It should state the software version and then give you two numbers – R:256 and B:256.

Step 3: Using the “menu” and “ok” buttons you can now change the R: number to change the red colour balance. By sliding the “slider” button you can switch between the red (R:) or blue (B:) values. You can try whatever colour combination that you like thru trail and error. In this mode, Live View isn’t turned-off!

Step 4: Just turn off the camera to reset the settings back to default!

We learn new things everyday! Have fun experimenting and remember to share your pics!
