On the Gorge With the Belair

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Gary

(Camera: Lomography Belair; Lens: 58mm f/16; Film: Lomography Color 100)

The poor ol’ Lomography Belair has taken quite a beating in reviews and on-line discussion forums almost from the day it was first announced. Even my own review (Part 1 of which is found here), has plenty of unkind things to say. But, as the picture above shows, if you take into account the camera’s limitations, it’s still possible to make pleasing pictures with it. And really, isn’t that how you have to work with all cameras? Yes, shocking though it may be to say, even Leicas have limitations. I’m not saying this photo is great art, but its shortcomings (whatever they may be) are clearly the fault of the guy pointing the camera, not the camera itself.
