spinner 360 lomography camera

the 'spinner 360°' camera captures panoramic photos on ordinary film with the pull of a drawstring


with a special edition finish of italian toledo leather, the 'spinner 360°' sold by lomography.com lets users take 360-degree
panorama photography on any 35mm film, automatically spinning its lens around with the simple pull of a drawstring.
used in this manner, the device captures an entire panoramic image in between 1/125 and 1/250 of a second,
but instead of simply pulling the cord, a user may choose to release it slowly by hand in order to capture longer-exposure
footage in 360-degrees. by rotating the device before shooting, photographers can also capture vertical 'panoramas'.

the camera features two aperture settings: f/16 for bright light and f/8 for cloudy or interior shots, relative to standard
ISO 400 film. each full panorama is recorded in a frame four times the length of a conventional landscape picture,
permitting users to shoot up to eight full images on standard 36-exposure film.

'spinner 360' is available in the lomography.com shop for 119 USD.
