while plenty of the lomo offerings are pretty cringey, they've been around 10+ years, always for hipsters, but overall are a good thing for film photography.
some people get bored and frustrated with over-priced toys, some people get the bug and go get a decent camera. I'd been using an good SLR (Nikon FE2, as it happens, seeing that lovely photo upthread, but it died) and using the darkroom since school, loved it but it was an occasional thing. 12 years ago I got an LCA and seemed to singlehandedly keep the local film dev shop afloat for about a year, the camera never left my side. I haven't touched it in years, I couldn't stand the image quality after a while, but I still have huge fondness for it.
