I love overwhelming communities with no standards! Yea, the cameras are being sold for a lot more than they should be worth, but that's because of the whole trend of 'lomography'. Same reason vintage shops can get away with selling old used clothes for similar prices to Nordstroms.

This is actually the first I've heard about lomography, so I looked it up and read about it, then priced out some LOMO LC-A cameras on eBay. I really like the concept and even the 10 rules of lomography on the wikipedia site.

This whole photographic style seems to be right up my alley - no rules, do it for fun, and any mistakes or accidents can lead to very creative alternatives.
