And where in my post do I say that AV and TV are preset's? Nice to make things up to suit your own argument..... Staff Edit - please leave personal insults at the door.

Yeah, you're right. And of course the top professional photographers, your Bailey's, Rankin's and Cornish's all use AV and TV. As do the top studio photographers. Of course they do. So where then is the distinction between what is a GWC and Prof. Is it having th fancier gear- which of course...

I would say that this is probably true for most people. For wedding and event photography, I would agree that when the pressure is on to get the shots in the bag then you take the safest option. You only get the one chance. And yeah, the end result is all important, again no arguments there...

I've heard good and bad about the loma LC-A as well- which is the reason I have avoided it to be honest. Gonna go with the fisheye 2.....

Thanks for the comments guys... Yeah, a new store has recently opened in London. I think that this could really take off. Probably already has!! It's quite the antithesis of what we are usually up to as photographers I suppose. Less thought, great options (affordable fisheye for...

Just about to invest in my first lomo- genuinly cannot wait to get cracking, this looks like a hell of a lot of fun- compared to the amount of time/thought/effort/pp etc that I am putting into my digital work. Got a few in my mind- The Diana F+; The Diana Mini; The Coloursplash and the Lomo...
