Lomography comes to Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony and Fuji. Lomography, the mother of that lo-fi photographic style that has been met with significant success over the last few years, has launched its latest lens - the Lomogon 2.5/32 - on Kickstarter. Unlike other products by the Vienna-based company, the lens is not exclusive, and can be adapted to various cameras.

As the name suggests, Lomogon is an f/2.5 aperture32 mm lens, but this is not what makes it such an unusual item. Drawing on the traits of another celebrated lens, the Lomo LC-A+, this offers very strong saturated colours, one could almost say ultra-pop, contrast pushed to the highest levels, and a Bokeh effect which detaches the subject from the background in a very decisive manner.

The final effects are lo-fi shots with a decidedly vintage air. On a construction level, what stands out is the aperture adjustment function. It is an external dial mechanism, using the classic Lomography click-and-stop system. In practice, users can “feel” each aperture setting lock into place as they frame, and furthermore, as the company says, “the mechanism allows perfectly circular apertures – impossible to achieve with a blade system”. This serves as a great advantage for Bokeh, seeing as the Lomogon has been created for two very precise uses: street photography and travel.

Completely analogue, Lomogon is also compatible with digital cameras. It has been designed for full-frame sensors, but the company guarantees that it also provides excellent results with crop-sensor cameras. As far as compatibility is concerned, the lens is offered with a Canon EF and Nikon F mounts, but there are also adapters for Sony E, Fuji X, Micro 4/3, Canon RF and Nikon Z mounting. Furthermore, if they reach their funding target, they will also produce one for the Pentax K.

As it is a Kickstarter project, the Lomogon is not yet a reality. It is raising funds online and is on offer from 264 euros plus 14 euros delivery, with the first items due to ship in November.
