The Russians are Coming!

I thought we were pissed at the Russians? Guess not. The Lomogon was developed together with the illustrious Russian manufacturer Zenit and assembled with the finest glass optics in a small factory in Central China. The gold brass design is a nod to billowing sails, caravels, and golden compasses; the sleek black design lets you blend into your new adventure. The Lomogon will be available in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts and compatible with numerous other bodies with adaptors available from Lomography.
