The Yearning to LOMO「湖楼」24mm F?
2012.1.30
LOMO LC-A lens which tries to look into an object and it cuts off squarely.
LOMO which was an industrial comprehensive manufacturer in the Soviet Union Sankt-Peterburg started the copy mass production of Kosina's camera by the national policy, and it did the sales start of LC-A at last in 1983. The cold war ended soon, when a Vienna student traveled Russia in 1990, LC-A was brought home and photoed, and the photo exhibition was opened. This is the establishment circumstances of Lomography. Now, it is a tradition.
LOMO LC-A is an analog camera and digitization is not carried out. Why? It has the special development method and relation of LOMO. LOMO uses a positive film. It processes by the developing solution using this to a negative film. This is called "Crossing Process". An expression peculiar to LOMO is made by doing in this way. However, no matter it may photograph with what camera now, the software of personal computer is used, and it is "LOMO style" can be made. With a lower photograph, the example photographed using Russia LC-A using the negative film of Agfa is given. The 2nd photograph has made this only from clicking the "toy camera" tab of Apple Aperture one time. The photograph made by the technique of the crossing process becomes such touch.
Even if only the lens of LOMO is taken out and it takes a photograph in digital one, experiencing LOMO art is that it is impossible only with a lens. It is because development cannot be modified like an analog. Then, it will be said that the software which adds processing is certainly required. The number has come out very well. There are some which can be adjusted by themselves using image-processing software from OK by one click. All can be free and it can obtain them. The filter for toy cameras is built in Olympus Penn, and the photograph of the LOMO style can be taken using an ordinary lens. Although the photograph of the LOMO style can be taken to be sure ... It is difficult to obtain illustrating which LOMO LC-A makes.
A lens called Minitar-1 is attached to LOMO LC-A. It is F2.8 in 32 mm of a wide angle. It is manufactured for the purpose of mass-producing highly efficient lenses, and not a plastic lens but glass is used. Since there is technology requisitioned from Germany after the Second World War in the Soviet Union, there is also a very excellent lens. In order to use a large field angle, seemingly 32 mm put in to a compact camera was a limit, and although it was the lens made by such tradition, even if he does his best, it is understood that the amount of ambient light has still fallen off. A plane was not able to be obtained, either, although it was a point important for it. An effect like a fish-eye lens is seen slightly. However, the center of illustrating of LC-A with the sufficient state of a lens is very sharp, and it is reflected delicately. (Isn't projection of an example so good? Although all go to China's Ancient town of Sichuan with a friend and a friend photographs them by LOMO, he obtains what he scanned by himself. It seems that it deteriorated with this scan. Since there are also such things, digitization of LOMO thinks acutely that it is required. )
It is said that LOMO LC-A is a toy camera and a toy camera. However, the people who made think that thought the "toy" and they were not making. The lens has paid last-minute efforts, in order to photograph the wide range. And it is reflected sharply and beautifully. It is making from the way of thinking which resembled the Leica as a public high-class compact camera. However, since it is the prices of the Soviet Union, it is clear that it is the technology which is sold at a low price and was late for the present-day standard. Tolerance level is considered and light falloff at edges and the Fish Eye effect regard him as whether the measure was adopted in the delicate place, although the designer understands. It is worth of this sensitivity, i.e., LC-A. It is the camera made carefully. It was said that the toy camera boom came and ten year has already passed. Does such a long thing call it a boom? I think that people are earnestly charmed since it is a genuine article.
I would like to make this lens from 24 mm. See Can be use camera list.
micro4/3 is about 50mm. I think that light falloff at edges is not necessarily needed for it and the lens made newly.
It is because it adds using PC software.
I think that the delicate Fish Eye effect and a Deviation are the keys which are absolute necessity and for which it presses LC-A art.
Soft use is the work equivalent to the past development, and it aims at reproducing the world of LOMO in digital one by photography with this work and this lens.
Point important when copying LOMO LC-A Minitar-1 32mm
- It is Delicated Fish Eye.
- Light falloff at edges may have a few.
- If these two points are removed, it will be a quite excellent lens.
The name of a this lens is made into the name of "湖楼" (Lake Hermitage) which covered from the poetry of 蘇東坡.
I think that I will make it what also has Deep blue or Purple.
Purple is sufficient.
七言絶句「六月二十七日望湖樓醉書其一」
黑雲翻墨未遮山 白雨跳珠亂入船
卷地風來忽吹散 望湖樓下水如天
Although the name of a building called 望湖樓 is in poetry, it is existing in xi-hu in Hangzhou.
