NOT Recommended; too many small issues & problems.

In good conscience I cannot recommend. Both versions I've seen have issues with the lens mount: the lenses won't stay fixed to the body as the retaining nibs are not large enough.

Also, the lens board incurs on the loupe view when fully extended, which makes the (already dodgy) framing of shots even more difficult.

Final words of advice: pass and save your cash for the next step up.

Really really fun camera for beginners to pretentious about it

Really really fun camera for beginners to pretentious about it. You can save some money by going with plain black or a few other colors and it's the same camera still. Yes I did buy this exact one it's cool looking shut up. Buy film on Amazon as well. If you are on the road or whatever and have to do it in person go to Michaels arts and crafts. They have ok prices on it. (It's behind the counter don't wonder and wander for 25 min like I did).

Get the Belairgon lens for it, and you are good to go

Aesthetically, this is a beautiful camera which is a clear homage to the older Polaroid cameras. I have researched the matter of medium format panoramic cameras, and this is the one that seems to hit the spot.

I did not even bother with the included plastic lenses since I am not a fan of those in any shape or form. I immediately ordered the Belairgon 114mm, and that is what I have been using.

There are tons of detailed reviews of this camera out there. There are issues with it, yes. The fat roll - may or may not be unavoidable. The 2 apertures available - not a big deal to me. The awkwardly located shutter button, also not a big deal. The fact that you can't do a long-exposure shot with it, that's a big deal. But since I am not necessarily a landscape photographer or a night landscape photographer, it is not that major to me. Plus, there are articles online about how to trick the shutter button into staying in place for long exposures. So yes, there are several annoying aspects to this camera, but, IMHO, the end result is worth it.

I bought this because it was a "premium" camera from Lomography. I wanted to start shooting film and I thought this camera would have everything I needed. It is aesthetically interesting and beautiful but it didn't yield the quality of pictures I wanted. There are not many settings and with the heavy plastic lenses I had a lot of fuzzy photos. Another reason I wasn't fully satisfied with the camera is because it costs more to get medium format photos developed and printed. Adding onto that note, 120 film is expensive and you do not get very many pictures out of it.
