  • You are not familiar with the subject if you say that Lomo is an Austrian camera. It’s one of the most famous cameras in Russia, straight from saint-Petersburg.

  • Useful Information about Photography gear the better way is just got through online where ever to live and search accordingly based on needs. Basically In my case I used some photography gear such as Photoshop, Stellar Repair for Photos for corrupt photos from any digital device such as camera, sd card, computer etc..
