Yashica EZ Digital F521 aka. “Digital Holga”
Hello fellow RUNFFM.com viewers,
when I was in Tokyo last year I was looking for this kind of camera around several shops but couldnt find it anywhere, so I decided to pick it up whenever
I had the chance to. I kept an eye on the online retailers but most of them wouldnt ship anything outside Japan.
I stumbled across a service called Tenso.com which forwards you mail from Japan to your “outside Japan” address, its also called “proxy shipping”.
When I found out that the camera was still on sale for just about 5000yen I had to grab it since I havent seen it for under 7800 anywhere in Tokyo.
Here are some pictures of the camera itself (taken with my GR Digital), I will be taking photos with the Yashica for my next post.
The name digital Holga came from several users in the community that compared the image quality to the typical lomography cameras, like the Holga.
I think I will be able to tell you more about the image quality once I have tested the camera out, I think for just about 50€ its a fair deal for any camera fan or collector,
its not that its a really good camera but it has quite a novelty factor, especially since it is not officially availible outside of Japan.
Its quite a small camera with a classic retro look and a rubber lens cap.
Hope you enjoyed the first look into the Yashica EZ Digital F521 (what a name) and I hope you’ll be looking forward to the upcoming blogposts :)
Update here is one test shot straight from the camera (just tagged it and resized)

We have some new Tokyo Lomo Action
Heres my last Lomo LCA Tokyo film this time I tried out the Kodak Ektar 100 film that I bought at the Yodobashi Camera shop. I heard its a more professional film and I was wondering how this film will turn out with the “kinda low-fi” (not to degrade this great camera) Lomo LCA.
Enjoy the pictures and I hope you might get the urge to visit Tokyo, great city!

Rollei SUC
Some people have asked me what kind of camera I used for the black and white shots from Tokyo.
Well while I was at the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, I got the idea that it would be interesting to take some black and white shots on film while I am in Tokyo. I only had my Lomo LCA with me that used 35mm film and I still had more than 20 shots left on the roll that I still had to take, while wandering around this huge store I found those Single Use Cameras.
When I saw the results I thought I should give it another try and got me some more of those ^^;
Black&White Film FTW!

Cheers from London, Part 1.
Hey everybody,
Cheers from London!! I got here yesterday by the Eurostar train, that runs under the English Channel. I really wanted to experience this, but I’m glad to travel home by plane after all. I finally got to my hostel somehow and met up with Dani, who I went to school with. She has been living here for some months now alreadyyyyy. I catched the last minutes of the Champions League match between Arsenal and Barça and what can I say… After I entered the pub, Arsenal scored two goals. After that, she and her roommate took me to some nice bakeries and also to a cool pub. Dani even wore some OG Adidas sneakers, that her grandma used to rock in the 70s, but due to all the talking and laughing I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of them.
So, here’s the first pic for you: Tower Bridge & me. I have to admit, that I wasn’t feeling too well this morning, but anywayz…
The first thing I bought is easily the most useful of all the things I bought today, but also the most unspectacular one.
Anywayz, I got on the tube to Putney Bridge to check out one of Simon‘s practices with the Oxford eight. The Boat Race on Saturday between Oxford and Cambridge is why I made this trip. Here he is with the white cap.
Oh, and by the way, they even have the Oxford University Boat Club seal on their rubber botts. Now, that’s style!! After the practice I made my way to Soho. First stop was the BAPE store, where the staff was so amazingly friendly. I got me this coin case, because, you know, when you get the chance to go into a BAPE store…
BAPE store, 4 Upper James Street, Soho, London, UK – eu.bape.com
Not far away is Carnaby Street, where you’ll find also some nice shops. I went into the WeSC store and came out with these limited edition headphones, including a matching Be@rbrick and also some sort of bag, also in the same colours.
I was already thinking for months now about getting those, but: Dani, you’re right!! I can’t stop listening to music right now!!! So good.
WeSC store, 43 Carnaby Street, Soho, London, UK – www.wesc.com
I also went into size? and they really have a good variety of sneakers, but it was too crowded for my taste.
size?, 33-34 Carnaby Street, Soho, London, UK – size.co.uk
In the streets nearby I also discovered this cool store dedicated to Lomo cams.
Lomography, 3, Newburgh Street, Soho, London, UK – www.lomography.com
After some more stores, but I won’t get into it, I decided it was finally time to eat something. I remembered that crazy restaurant located in Soho, so I went there. The food was tasty, the waiters were super friendly and the whole thing was a cool experience, as you order everything by clicking on the table. I hope you’ll understand in my final video.
I also did the photo shooting for my WeSC headphones and the BAPE coin case on my table (go back and check the pics again!) as the menu and images are all projected onto the table. Oh, and Diddy, they also serve Ciroc there.
inamo Restaurant & Bar, 134-136 Wardour Street, Soho, London, UK – www.inamo-restaurant.com
I’ll go to bed now, but I’ll keep you posted. Happy Easter!

Random Shot #15
When I was in Hong Kong last year I went around the city aimlessly just feeling the whole vibe and taking pictures with my Lomo LCA camera, thats when I first discovered the famous “sneaker street”.
A whole street just for sneakers, sneaker shop after sneaker shop. Actually the real street name is Fa Yuen street and some also call it Sportswear Street but I like the term “Sneaker Street” more.
You can also catch some fresh exotic fruits on the local market that is awell located on Fa Yuen Street.
Sneaker Street is located between Boundary Street and Dundas Street in Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Check out my flickr account too to see some of my other snapshots from my Lomo photowalks around the globe :).

My Cebu – in a blur.
Last year I went to the Philippines to study at a filmschool in Cebu for one year, it was perfect since I am half filipino and wanted to see the country my mother is from. I took alot of pictures during my stay in asia and here I want to share a few that I took with a small russian automatic film camera called the Lomo LCA. All these pics were taken on the way to the studio by foot and tricycle (small moped with extra seat on the side).
The Philippines is the biggest christian country in asia this little church was right in front of the place I used to stay, right in the middle of nowhere. I used to see some people holding a mess while walking by even at night sometimes.
