That’s right, LOMO with capital letters, name of a Russian state-owned optical company founded 1914 in Petrograd, today’s St. Petersburg. LOMO is no longer making compact cameras that anyone can afford, […]

Awesome design, amazing technology: Olympus’ Micro Four Thirds lineup finally got a worthy flagship after a series of half-hearted updates and minor innovations.
