Don’t get me wrong (from this entry title) … it’s not that I’m against the No Nukes protest … it’s just that there is no way I’m gonna burn any money for this. Hahahaa! Maybe if it came out before the 25th Anniversary Edition … just maybe … just maybe … I’ll wanna buy it. Why do I get the feeling that Lomography is gonna do another neverending-Diana-clones stunt on the LC-A+ camera? Hmm … maybe soon they’ll have pink Hello Kitty LC-A+ as well?
The ‘No Nukes’ LOMO LC-A+ special was designed by the Seoul Lomographic Embassy in protest against nuclear weapons. Find the leather-skinned camera stamped with the ‘No-Nukes’ logo and packaged in a collectible box.
It’s the same pocket-sized, Minitar-lensed LOMO LC-A+ that we love – capable of bringing you those signature jawdropping photos with the deepest saturation, punchy contrast and shadowy vignettes. The ‘No-Nukes’ Edition is designed with a unique leather body and bundled in a wooden box, stamped with the “No Nukes” symbol and Korean lettering. Only 500 pieces available.
Thank God this version ain’t tempting enough to make me lose my mind (and money) … or else I’ll have to launch my own limited edition LC-A+ called ‘NO MONEY’.
Anyway … here’s an interesting interview with Kate Hudson, the Chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
i was asked to choose between this and the 25th anni one.. in the lomoshop a few days ago.. i end up chosing the 25anni versary one because they told me the nuke one uses a china lens../..
i have nothing agaist china or anything.. its just the fact that lomo is from russia.. and so id like a russian lens..
haha
its just like some chinese guy ask me if i want fried rice or pasta..
id go with the rice
@mijonju : Guess you made the right choice. I’d go for the Russian lens too. Also … the prints and badge on the 25th Anniv one is way cooler. For me … if some chinese guy asks me if I want rice or pasta … I think I’ll still go for the pasta … hahaha … coz I ain’t that much into rice. 😀
hmmm…
true. true.
but what can i say.
it is harder to get the no nukes as there are only 500 pieces.
and probably 5000 more kept in a secret volt.
and slowly released after 10yrs.
who knows??
it may just be my vivid imagination.
but look at the 25th anniv one.
it’s been on the website for days and they are still available.
what happen to limited quantity??
so how please respons asap guys.
no nukes in in my lomo basket.
checkout??? yes/no/maybe.
sorry for the typo.
i am typing in the dark!!
@solace : They didn’t mention how many units were available for the 25th anniversary one eh? Hahaha. Maybe there is a limited quantity of half a million units. Hahaha. Are you getting the No Nukes one? It might bring you a fortune when it becomes a super rare camera! Go get it!
finally got my first lomo lc-a, the no nukes version…
now no money because of no nukes.
going to sell off my cams.
no idea where to sell them off.
all in mean condition.
heart a bit aching.
maybe don’t sell.
i wish sch rebates me money for good attendance.
being good student, documenting work…
if only i could use medifund, this fund that fund to pay for my lomos.
gov. please help your citizens realise their dreams (of becoming an avid lomographer) and keep the dwindling film industry going.
at least we help in the employment sector…. ….
hha. hmm.. the no nuke doesnt tempt me so much a the 25th anni. probably due to the badge. 😀 also, the no nuke one, most of the ‘different’ parts/prints are only on the leather itself.
besides, there won’t be another ’25th’ anni next year. but maybe more nukes next year then they’ll have to do that version again? /jk
@solace : Congrats! hahaha!
@ymmij : Exactly my thoughts. The other thing is that LC-A+ is a bit too expensive to ‘collect’. Hahaha. I’ll stick to collecting Dianas instead (not that it’s that too damn cheap though).
if the lomo 25th lomo lc-a is still available next month i will buy it.
see how. i have likes and dislikes for both the cams. it was a very hard decision.
but i am glad i made it. no more lao nuah syndrome and saves my friend a whole lot of…
what should i get this or tht… yack yack yack.
