LONDON CALLING
London is a city steeped in history, and has long been a cornerstone of Lomography. It is home to hundreds of Lomographers, who are continually inspired by architecture, art, amazing events and fashion, and one of the strongest Lomography communities in the world. So in a summer in which the whole world celebrates London, we are celebrating the London Lomography community with the launch of the La Sardina Guvnor Camera. Prepare yourself for a hot summer in London! Lots of exciting events will make this city THE hotspot to be: a huge Lomography exhibition at the Museum Of London, the long awaited congregation of the world’s best athletes AND the release of the La Sardina Guvnor!

UNION JACK MAP
London is such a huge and buzzing city! Getting lost can be quite unpleasant but don’t be afraid – the La Sardina Guvnor will lead you the way through all your analogue adventures! We printed a cute little map of London on the Guvnor’s body that will help you navigate through THE city to be this summer. Dressed in blue, red and white the Guvnor pays tribute to the beloved Union Jack and makes it easy for you to show your love for good old London while snapping away with this great wide angle camera.

SARDINE CAN CAMERA
When we introduced La Sardina last year, this little fishy pal swept Lomographers all over the world off their feet. Sweet design combined with super easy handling make La Sardina the perfect every day camera that captures wide angle pictures wherever and whenever you want. Its plastic wide angle lens enables pros and beginners to shoot beautiful Lomographs easily. No need for long explanations at your local lab, the processing is really easy due to the regular format of the shots. Accompanied by Fritz the Blitz, our most sophisticated flash, La Sardina will make your photos shine.
