Lomography's "Spinner 360" panoramic film camera looks manual-riffic
So they’re putting out a new gadget this week, the Spinner 360, specifically for taking panoramas. And how do you think it works? Just as funcontrollable as the Diana — with the benefit of full-bleed negatives! How cool is that?!
Basically you load this thing up with 120 35mm film, set the exposure estimate, and pull the chain. It’ll spin around and roll the film at the same time, creating a pano shot thusly:
How fun is that? I know you can put together panoramas in some digital cameras, but I think we all know how weird they look.
It’s a bit expensive for a single-serving device, though, at $150 (125 euros). Plus you have to buy film. It’s a lifestyle choice, I guess.
