Since lomography camera still uses analog film to capture and store the images taken, some enthusiasts will develop their own photographs, while others take it to the one-hour photo lab.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, with the success of their Kickstarter project, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/about\">Lomography<\/a> has released a scanner which allows you<strong> to scan your film and store it in your smartphone. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dubbed the Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner, it <strong>works with any 35 mm film<\/strong>. With the camera app on, just place your smartphone on the scanner. When you turn on the scanner, <strong>a light source shines through from under the film<\/strong>. The light will help you to <strong>view the negative images<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/lomography-smartphone-film-scanner\/lomography-scanner-1.jpg\" alt=\"lomography smartphone film scanner\" height=\"397\" width=\"600\"><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s also a roller to help you <strong>roll between frames easily,<\/strong> so you can go through a full roll of film easily and quickly.

The Lomoscanner app also allows one to stitch negatives together to create a panaroma picture or share the scanned photos with your friends with a click of a button.
