Film borders are trending. This $69 compact camera captures the real thing, using every millimeter of film, including the iconic retro sprocket borders
The Lomography Sprocket Rocket is a camera designed to use that iconic film border as more space for the photo
A new recreation of the Lomography Sprocket Rocket is generating buzz online, aiming to capture authentic film frames down to the iconic sprocket borders. The compact camera, priced at $69, shoots panoramic 3:1 images on 35mm film rolls, utilizing 18 exposures per roll. Unlike traditional cameras, the Sprocket Rocket reveals sprocket holes throughout the frame, offering a unique retro aesthetic.
Lomography has refreshed the camera with two new models – Starlight and Ultra Violet, featuring space-inspired metallic silver and deep purple finishes. Maintaining its mechanical nature, the camera has a 30mm lens with variable aperture settings (f/10.8 or f/16) and shutter speeds (1/100 or bulb). A hot shoe slot allows for external flash attachment, and an optional frame insert helps maintain a clean border for those who prefer it.
