Shoot from the Hip - The World's Coolest Camera

Lucy Ash discovers how in the digital age, the world still loves a Soviet Union relic - the low-spec Lomo Camera. From 2006.

The most sought-after camera in this digital age is not a sleek gadget in a silver case but a 20-year-old relic from behind the Iron Curtain: the Lomo.

Lucy Ash talks to "Lomographers" to find out why they are devoted to this old, low-spec 35mm camera,.

She visits the Moscow factory making a brand-new old-fashioned model.
