The Lomography Pop 9 (2004) is a nine-lens toy camera that exposes nine small images simultaneously on a single standard 35mm frame, arranged in a 3×3 grid. Unlike the ActionSampler or Octomat — which fire their multiple lenses in sequence — the Pop 9's nine lenses all fire at the same instant, capturing nine identical viewpoints of the same moment on one frame.

Nine lenses firing simultaneously divide a 35mm frame into a 3×3 grid of identical moments — a photographic echo chamber that multiplies any scene nine times over.

Lomography introduced the Pop 9 in 2004 as a complement to the sequence-based ActionSampler and Octomat. Where those cameras captured motion across time, the Pop 9 captured a single moment in space — multiplied. The concept drew from pop art and photobooth aesthetics, echoing Andy Warhol's grid repetitions of single images.
The Pop 9 proved commercially popular and remained in production through multiple colour variants and limited editions. A Pop 9 Flash variant with built-in flash was introduced later. The camera became one of Lomography's standard catalogue items alongside the Diana and Fisheye lines.
The Pop 9 is the simplest of Lomography's multi-lens cameras: no battery, no electronics, no sequence timing — just nine plastic lenses all seeing the same moment. It is a camera about repetition and pattern rather than motion or time. For film photographers, the 3×3 grid effect is immediately legible as a photobooth or Warhol reference, making the Pop 9 useful for portraiture, merchandise photography, and graphic visual work.
Its all-mechanical design makes it more reliable long-term than battery-dependent toys, and its low purchase price keeps it accessible.
No interchangeable lenses. The nine fixed-focus plastic lenses are integral to the body. Some editions include:
Kodak Gold 200 is a daylight-balanced C-41 color negative film with warm color, moderate grain, and a classic consumer-film look.
