The Lomography ActionSampler (1999) is a 35mm toy camera fitted with four separate fixed-focus plastic lenses arranged in a 2×2 grid. When the shutter is pressed, the four lenses fire sequentially at approximately 0.1-second intervals, capturing four consecutive images — each occupying a quarter of the standard 35mm frame (approximately 18×12mm each). The resulting image on film is a grid of four moments, spanning roughly 0.4 seconds of elapsed time.

Before you buy used
- **Sequential firing check** — load an expired roll and test all four lenses fire in sequence. A failed lens (stuck shutter pin) produces a blank quadrant; this is repairable but unusual.
- **Light seals** — inspect plastic body seams for deteriorated foam; light leaks are common on ageing examples and are evident as fogging in consistent positions across frames.
- **Lens clarity** — check all four plastic lenses for scratches or haze under oblique light; replace is not feasible but operational cameras are inexpensive.
- **Film advance** — ensure the wind knob advances a full frame between shots to prevent double-exposure contamination between compositions.
About this camera
The Lomography ActionSampler fires four plastic lenses in rapid succession onto a single 35mm frame — capturing a quarter-second of action in four sequential images arranged in a 2×2 grid, revealing motion and change invisible to the single frame.
