Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come. Last year, we introduced the original Fisheye camera and ushered in nothing less than a screaming and pounding revolution into the world of Lomography. Almost overnight, everyone began seeing circles and the Fisheye quickly became one of the greatest and most-joy-spreading Lomographic plastic beasties of all time.
Since those early days, we’ve fielded a veritable mountain of feedback for a new version. Everyone longed to pair the Fisheye’s super-wide-angle view with the beauty of long-exposures. They wanted to take multiple shots on one frame. They wanted to work with dual flashes. They wanted to peer through an authentic fisheye viewfinder. They wanted to take that intense circle-within-a-rectangle format and inject it a gaggle of new possibilities to create a truly staggering arsenal of new techniques and possibilities.
We heard you! And with our chests out and chins up, may we introduce the world-class Fisheye No. 2 camera! This is simply the most fantastic fisheye of all time: it looks suave, it feels wonderful in your hands (like an extra thumb), and its results are sheerly mindblowing. |
In addition to the classic Fisheye traits that we all know and love (almost-180-degree view, built in flash, standard 35mm film, etc.), the Fisheye No. 2 boasts the following slamming features:
- Long exposure switch for gorgeous nighttime & low-light shots
- Multiple exposure switch for two, three, or more shots on the same frame
- Standard hot-shoe to attach an external flash (including our lovely Colorsplash Flash)
- External fisheye viewer for a little “what-you-see-is-what-you-get”
- Full metal jacket aluminum coating for extreme good-looks
We know what you’re thinking – there has never been a compact film camera on Earth with such a dazzling set of features and creative abilities. No one has ever seen a little handheld camera with a fisheye lens and both multiple & long exposures. And you, my friend, would be 100% correct. Believe me when I say that the Lomographic Society as a whole (Presidents, ambassadors, archive, web team, far-flung-friends, and pets) is just as knocked out as you are. This camera is truly the burner.
We’ve spent months building an incredible archive of shots from our intrepid Lomographers across the planet. Head over to our microsite gallery and see for yourself what this beauty is capable of. But before you do that – read on to find out about our special pre-order gift and the Fisheye No. 2 Agent recruitment drive.

Our fresh-out-the-box first batch of Fisheye No. 2 cameras are scheduled to ship no later than June 9th. You may pre-order the camera right now to ensure that you’ll receive your Fisheye No. 2 as soon as possible. As a hearty “thank you much,” we’ll include a free Colorsplash Flash with each order.
This little guy includes 12 colored gel filters and works absolute wonders with the Fisheye No. 2 camera! Given all the love and support that the original Fisheye received from you – our Lomographic compatriots – this small token of our appreciation was the least that we could do! |
That means you! We’re looking to recruit 10 Fisheye No. 2 Agents from around the world. The chosen Lomographers will receive:
- A shining new Fisheye No. 2 camera
- A slamming selection of film (color, b&w, and slide)
- A demanding and top-secret photographic assignment
Your agent-issued camera will arrive with a top-secret document detailing exactly what you are to shoot. You will be given approximately two weeks to shoot like mad and submit hi-res scans of your work. Shortly after, your good work and that of your fellow agents will be posted on Lomography.com for all of our international community to see. |
