Lomography's Sprocket Rocket 35mm Film Camera is an ultra wide-angle film camera that delivers a unique photographic look, with sprocket holes (used to advance the film and usually invisible in photos) and dual winding knobs that allow you move the film backwards and forwards in the camera, for easy multiple exposures. This petite powerhouse shows you a lot in its wide angle of view, and lets you do a lot using the winding knobs and sprockets.
It's simple to use: it has two shutter settings--N-1/100 for daylight shots and "B" (Bulb) for unlimited long exposures. It has two aperture settings: f/10.8 and f/16. It has two focus settings--0.6-1m for close-up pictures and 1m to infinity for everything (the ultra wide-angle lens keeps almost everything in focus). A built-in universal hot shoe allows you to light your pictures using flash, and the built-in tripod screw means you can always steady your camera on a tripod. So, what's not to like?

Comments about Lomography Sprocket Rocket 35mm Film Camera:
Having owned and currently use a few Lomo cameras, I found the Sporcket Rocket to be a better build a stronger construction than the average Holga. Body is sturdy. Some of the Lomo cameras look as cheap as they are. This one, while being more money than a Holga, seems to reflect the extra cost. Loads as easy as a normal 35mm as opposed to some of the other Lomo products. You can wind either way and create fun and interesting double exposures. Just make sure you're in the proper frame. You will use half a roll due to it being a Pano. The one thing I discovered when developing is an extra cost for special development so that the sprocket holes are visible. I also had a lomo film loaded that required another extra cost. Its still my favorite new Lomo camera. I do enjoy pulling this little beauty out of my bag at a job where I'm using thousands of dollars worth of digital equipment.
