How to build your own Lomo camera with Olympus OM lens

If you want to create your own Lomo camera than read the How To posted by Unplggd (Click here). They use the Olympus 50mm f/1.8 OM as lens for the homemade camera. Of course you can buy Unplggd explains what’s the advantage of building that kind of Lomo camera: “There are several smartphone apps that can help you create Lomography look-a-like images, but nothing beats this DIY project which produces similar perfectly imperfect photos. You can even pair this hack with a vast array of OM Series SLR lenses or use an adapter for other glass from different manufacturers to further the array of results…”

Of course you don’t have to do this to get your Lomo styled effects. You can use the m43 to Lomo lens adapter (Click here to see them on eBay) to use original Lomo lenses.
