When the Lomomod No. 1 was first announced, I had the honor of covering the news for DIYP and I thought to myself: “Man, would I like to try this out!” Fast forward four months, and I’ve had the chance to play with this DIY medium format camera and do a thorough review.

Lomography wants to change that, though, with their new Lomomod No. 1, a DIY self-build 6×6 medium format camera. We spoke with Lomography at PhotoPlus 2019 to see it in person and find out more.
