Can I still get lomo effect shooting this on an Canon A2e with L glass? it's all I have

Your Canon A2E will give you sharp results with your L glass lens. Canon's are not known as "Lomo type" cameras with "funky" effects. This film will give you results similar to if you shot any other 400 speed color film. If you want something more "Lomo" I'd suggest the lomography xpro 200 film. It's awesome when crossed. Good luck!

If it's a lomography camera like a Holga, then you should be able to. If not, no. This film has not been adjusted in any way to give picture lomo effects , light leaks, etc. That stuff comes from having a lomo camera.

FWIW, mine is usable only for general composition purposes. Forget about focusing, or even really seeing what you're shooting with it. I actually put mine away the day it arrived from amazon and didn't touch it again for probably a year, and figured I should have simply returned it. But since then I've come to terms with what it can and can't do, and put it on in the sunshine when I can't see the screen, and use it just for positioning large objects in the composition.

I agree. Make sure your lens is decent. Other than that it takes great photos!

Honestly... send it back. Save your money and buy the OEM. You, I'm sure, have a nice camera... don't attach cheap 3rd party gear - especially when you're talking about connecting to sensitive electrical components. I learned the hard way - you get what you pay for. There are other 3rd party manufacturers that produce good gear, but IMHO you shouldn't go to them for anything above a lens. And yes, I did buy one of these grips, and I returned it because it broke. Happy shooting!

I had canon power shot Elf 870 ( great camera) and I replaced it with Lx5, but it did not meet the standards.I use this camera primarily indoor and I am getting the yellow/green shades in 50% of my shots. It really does not matter but the manual options are good. I am returning it and would like to get a Canon S100

There will be some distortion, similar to any lens up through probably 25mm. It is very subtle if noticeable at all unless you are right up on the structure. Easily correctable in LR5. Nothing like UWA or FE for distortion.

I don't like how it shoots in low light situations. BUT you can push the ISO in AV or TV mode and it should work OK. You may have to remove some digital noise in the editing.

For macro only, this is effectively an extension tube. Canon fd to eos must have a glass element.

I used my canon only a few times. Did not try the video, but I found out that if you do not hold the camera steady the shots come out very blurry. It seems impossible to get a clear shot because the camera is too small.

No. It's difficult to manipulate effects. It will not work like a non-digital camera.

sounds like you need to learn to manually set the exposure , shutter speed, f-stop etc. This lens cannot autmatically do so, there are on-line tutorials, etc.that may hep. Perhaps you can find classes in your area.

Thanks, Spanky, for the info. The camera arrived the other day and it's awesome. As a matter of fact, I took some closeup shots this morning of a silver dollar, with the camera mounted on a minipod and room lighting. They turned out great. BTW, I used the iA setting.

Yes you can, it works great, every time I shoot outdoors I use it, fit well in the LCD screen, my only objection is the key control if you want to zoom in and move the image, but not grat deal. Buy it.

Yes, L grade lenses can (and should) be used with this camera. They represesnt the cream of the crop when it comes to Canon lenses, and you would be hard pressed to match their abilities using "other" glass. Take some time to determine which lenses will suit your needs most before investing.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

Tried with Nikon flash. The LS can work in remote slave mode, so if your flash goes then LS fires too.

Pick up a lens with a low F stop. I have a Minolta Maxxum AF 50 mm f 1.7 on my alpha and I can take pictures without flash.
