Hey!
Does anyone know where I could purchase a lomography camera in Busan (especially a Mini Diana)? I've looked (though not very closely) at places like Home Plus but no such luck.
I'm still rather new to Korea and to this idea of gmarket. Anyway, if you've spotted one at a place in Busan that isn't super complicated to find, please let me know. Thanks!
Re: Lomography camera in Busan
I know of two places in Busan that definitely used to sell them about a year or so ago. The type of shop is difficult to describe, but they are kind of full of kitschy stuff.
Anyhow the first is called the Book in Kyung Sung Dae. (it's actuall 13 00k) It's on the same street as Kino Eye a few doors down from Missha make up store next to underwear store!
The other is in Nampo Dong, the best way to find it is to find KFC and then take the side street that runs up into Gukje market. It's almost immediately on your left.
Also, I'm not sure but there is probably a good chance of finding one in the underground shopping mall in Seomyeon. There are several camera and electronic shops along there so worth a shot.
Re: Lomography camera in Busan
mattsid is spot on for those locations.
But if you're into toy cameras, check out the robot camera by disderi (korean company?). Its got 3 lenses which trigger sequentially at slightly different shutter speeds, and it can give you some interesting results. Plus it's about 10 bucks, rather than the 50 bucks or more for a lomo or a holga.
