Lomography released new editions of two of their popular cameras for summer lovers infused with joyful beach vibes. La Sardina Caleta & Fisheye No. 2 La Quebrada are here to make you feel transported to somewhere sunny and warm, where you can close your eyes and just about feel the soft breeze and sand between your toes.
The company which encourages photographers to throw out their rulebooks is taking us to Acapulco to introduce the new additions to their analogue store.
‘With its tranquil azure waters and scenic cliff views, our brand-new and experimental La Sardina and Fisheye camera editions take you to the renowned summer hangout of the Hollywood greats. Dressed up in a playfully striped fabric design, the cut is different for every camera so each one is just as unique as you are! An amigo for every adventure – tiptoe across the hot sand, feel the warm breeze glide over your tanned skin and capture the good times, just watch out that the little crab over there doesn’t nip at your toes!’ – Lomography
La Sardina Caleta
Whether you’re luxuriating on a sandy beach, dipping your perfectly manicured toes in the ocean or sipping sweet cocktails at the beach bar, capture the captivating coastline in ultra-wide-angle snaps and enjoy effortless experimentation with the La Sardina Caleta. With colorful beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, this crowded coastline has seen many a sparkling Hollywood smile. Shoot for the stars in bulb mode and combine multiple scenes in one frame with the flick of the multiple-exposure switch. If that’s not enough, illuminate your nighttime escapades with the included Fritz the Blitz flash. – Lomography
La Sardina Caleta is a 35mm format camera with a fixed 22mm F8 lens, which is wide enough to capture all the action! For double the fun, this camera also has the ability to capture multiple exposures if you are feeling experimental. There are no settings to change the ISO but the camera does come with a flash to capture those late-night scenes!
Additional technical specifications:
- Shutter Speed: Bulb (B), 1/100 (N)
- Zone Focusing: 0.6 m – 1 m, 1 m – Infinity
- Tripod Mount: Yes
- Cable Release: Yes
- Battery: 1 x CR123A

Fisheye No.2 La Quebrada
Get loco in Acapulco with your new fisheye friend. Do you dare to dive off the rocky clifftops of La Quebrada, plunging spectacularly into the swirling azure waters? With the Fisheye No.2 La Quebrada, capture your wildest adventures in an incredible 170° fisheye view! From clifftop to seashore, squeeze the whole scene into iconic bulbous spheres. With multiple and long exposure modes for even more fun in the sun, once you’ve tired of tumbling through the air, the built-in flash will take you from day to night – as Elvis said; “this is no time for siesta, this is time for fun!” – Lomography
The Fisheye No.2 La Quebrada has many of the same features as La Sardina Caleta. This too is a 35mm format camera with shutter speed options of 1/100 and Bulb mode and an aperture of F8. However, the lens here is a 10mm fisheye which creates much more dramatic frames.
This camera can also create multiple exposures and has a tripod mount. The differences are: there is no flash to accompany the fish eye, no cable release socket, it takes one AA battery, and the price is lower at £69.
