Digital camera reviews of Lomographic Colorsplash Flash for 35MM CamerasDigital camera Review: Inexpensive, very effective, fun! Summary: 5 Stars
I'd seen someone on Flickr that had recently gotten one for their D200 and looking at the results raised my interest. The price is what cinched it for me and after using it a fair bit today, I was delighted. It looks a bit weird on my D200, but it works great, on camera or off.
It's one of the most fun photographic tools I've ever laid my hands on, not to mention one of the most inexpensive. The cost:fun ratio is very much in its favor - get one, you won't be disappointed.
Digital camera Review: Lomo Colorsplash - Really fun with Other Cameras Summary: 5 Stars
Don't forget you can use this thing on any DSLR or film SLR witha hotshoe or with a synch adapter. You can also put a standard camera on 'bulb' and fire the flash manually using a bunch of different colors. Just reduce the aperture say 4 stops and fire the flash five or six times in different locations and different colors. Since you can see your results on the screen it's a really powerful little addition to picture taking. Also don't forget you can just use a slave trigger to make the thing light up a backdrop or use it as a hair highlight on a flash stand along with more traditional studio flash units. Yeah - it's no different from a colored gel on a studio flash unit, but it is more portable and it's cheap enough to tape on a stick on location where studio lights are out of the question.
Digital camera Review: Non functioning upon arrival Summary: 1 Stars
Received the unit and it didn't function after changing batteries. Returned and was credited with full refund.
Digital camera Review: Sad and frustraited Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned this flash for less than a year now and it just stopped working, I didn't even get to use it very much before it decided to die on me. I thought it was just the battery, but sadly that didn't fix it...I loved this flash so much because it is so exciting to get my pictures back and not knowing what to expect. I would honestly buy one again knowing that it is junky but I am going to save the warranty card next time...who knows when next time is going to be though. Actually before I buy another one I think I am going to try and take it apart and see if I can figure out how to fix it :/ idk :( I'm really bummed that my stupid flash doesnt work anymore, i really feel like i just threw away 20 bucks.
Digital camera Review: Too much fun Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this, and it's too much fun. I don't own a Lomo, but I'm using it on my Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras.
I do recommend that you remove the battery when stowing it in your bag - it's too easy to turn off and on. Other than that it's a neat toy for the $25 I paid.
