A little unexpected pre Christmas surprise arrived this month. Nons are teasing a new camera. But this is no instax SLR. What we may see is the first non-Leica 35mm rangefinder to be released in over a decade. But this Nons 35mm has a format twist.

The lomographer’s XPan – Lomography Sprocket Rocket Review
To many the Hasselblad Xpan is a legendary 35mm that offers a massive 65mmx24mm frame. But these days selling for over a grand you’ll not likely see me picking one. But turns out there is a lo-fi equivalent that actually shots not just wider but taller frames. And if it dies it wont be a 3-4 grand brick sitting on on you shelf. Meet the Lomography Sprocket Rocket.

It’s a Sin(tex) -The Sintex Camera Review
The Sintex might look like a bad ~2000 mini DV camcorder. But the Sintex is actually an ergonomically disastrous 35mm still shooter and a scammy one as well. It’s a dubious lo-fi number reeking of scamera and a niche design that is frankly garbage.
