Sea Pride is more into icy water, all dressed up in blue and silver and Marathon will take you on a sunny cruise around
California. As different as these four clones may be, they all have one thing in common – a crazy wide-angle plastic lens and the best lens ring of all time.
El Capitán and Fischer’s Fritze are also equipped with Lomography’s most powerful-ever flash, Fritz the Blitz.
