Epoch of LOMO.Cameras and People book announcement

Message

[quote]It is with great pleasure I would like to announce a new book by my great friend and a camera collector Aidas Pikiotas - "Epoch of LOMO. Cameras and People".

After many years of hard work and travelling all over former Soviet Union collecting materials regarding LOMO cameras, taking photographs and listening to stories from various camera designers, current and former LOMO employees, Aidas had dedicated this grand project to 100 year of LOMO factory anniversary.

This book is written in style of three sections per camera. Section 1 describes technical characteristics of camera made at LOMO factory, section 2 is a historical background for the camera and section 3 contains a background on the people behind it - camera creators and designers. It is a very solid body of work with slew of new information that was only marginally touched by other publications.

This book has been for now only published in Russian language.

Currently this book is NOT available for sale as the copyright was graciously granted to LOMO factory by Aidas, so the factory is only releasing a limited number of these.

Aidas will inform on the forum if there are any extras published for sale in near future, at this point any member who would like to purchase one will be able to do so.

The English version of the book was in works but LOMO needs some convincing in terms of people expressing interest in publishing this book in English. So if you would like this book to be available in English please voice your opinion.

Here are some photographs of the book:
