Lomography, the art of having fun when taking pictures using dated technology called Film! The new Sprocket Rocket could – for me at least – be one of the most exciting Lomography cameras released to date. A 35mm Panoramic camera that is engineered to expose your film right to the very edges, even over the film advance sprocket holes (hence the name). Previously to get this effect I had to adapt my old Voigtlander Bessa 6x9cm medium format cameras. Read on for the official Press Release.

SPROCKET EVOLUTIONAfter decades, technical innovation has finally reached another important milestone! Meet the Sprocket Rocket – the very first camera fully dedicated to sprocket hole photography. Cherishing the full potential of the 35 mm film roll, the Sprocket Rocket includes the sprocket holes in breathtaking panoramic shots which characterize the unique style of this camera. Being also the first camera that features a reverse gear, it enables maximum creativity by moving back and forth between the frames with two convenient scrolling knobs. Based on the simplest technology this black beauty will go down in history as the peak of human inventive talent and the most Lomographic camera of all time. REMIX IT!Remixing music is already old news… Have you ever tried remixing your film? Use the shiny scrolling knobs of the Sprocket Rocket to move the film inside the camera in any direction. Back and forth, forwards and backwards – the Sprocket Rocket will expose the film wherever and whenever you want it. Be it simple multi-exposures or the craziest time-travelling experience on film, let the Sprocket Rocket set your creativity free on all your photographic adventures. Get your sprockets rocking with this unique camera and enjoy its simple technology.
