Big news for Lomo lovers… a panoramic slingshotthingycamera. Do you love it, or will this camera enjoy but fifteen minutes of camera fame?
Here’s what the brass has to say about it:
Quite literally the most freewheeling 360° panoramic camera in the universe!
Take the Spinner 360° in one hand, pull the cord with the other and release it – in a split second the camera spins 360° around its own axis and records everything that’s around you on a frame more than 4 times longer than a conventional landscape picture.
Shoots any 35mm film.
Some examples, from beta testers across the globe (how does one get to be a beta tester? I would like to be one).

Absolutely 15 minutes of fame in my opinion. In fact, I’d be surprised if it even managed to get all 15 minutes.
cool camera, looking forward to getting one!
Very cool. I think I need one of those.
I seem to remember this camera featured in Popular Photography, Modern Photography or Photokina about 15 or 20 years ago. They were only on the market a very short time.
Still a great, lo-fi idea.
