PERSONAL NOTES

The Lomo Oktomat is a special camera that has 8 different lenses, that exposes the same scene at slightly different times. The shutters are released at different times within about half of a second.

The results are similar to the movement studies made by Edward Muybridge. Common subjects for this camera includes moving objects or people.

In my opinion, The Oktomat is the best Lomo camera for the study of moving subjects, it's much better than the Lomo Action Sampler which have only 4 lenses.

CONCLUSION

The Lomo Oktomat is a nice camera to experiment with moving subjects, but after a while, it gets boring.
