Photographic accessory, camera and lens manufacturer Lomography has returned to Kickstarter once again to launch their new Lomography Atoll Ultra-Wide 2.8/17 Art Lens. Created to provide photographers with a “brand new perspective”, offering a lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras and compatible with analogue and digital M mounts. With an impressive 103° field of view and 17 mm focal length, your photographs will exaggerate relative size and boast dramatic depth for “intense, immense, impactful imagery” combined with classic Lomography vignetting, colors and saturation.
Early bird pledges are now available for the inventive project from roughly $399 or £294 (depending on current exchange rates). If the Lomography Atoll campaign successfully raises its required pledge goal and manufacturing progresses smoothly, worldwide shipping is expected to take place sometime around August 2021.
