The Monti HipstaPak

Buongiorno a tutti. Benvenuti in Italia! After a few escapades in the East and the US, Hipstamatic is back on the old continent and is, this time, taking you to Italy. Italy, as you well know, is famous for its historical heritage, its gastronomic traditions, its gorgeous landscapes, and its cinema. As well, it remains one of the most visited countries in the world.

To add to this, the Italian heritage can now claim its very own pak: the Monti Hipstapak, which sports a new lens, the Sergio and a new film, the Maximus LXIX.

The Sergio lens can be classified as being of the same "family" as the Loftus or the Americana lenses, with a clear centre image and slightly blurred edges. The photographs are somewhat desaturated and the predominant hue veers towards blue-green.

As far as the film goes, its name harkens back to Roman times; the Maximus LXIX has an edge reminiscent of Ina’s 1969, but slightly less pronounced in border tone and a bit more of a curvature in the corners. On a technical note, the Roman numeral LXIX equates to "69".

The Pak is free of charge for Oggl users and available for $0.99 U.S. dollars (0,89 euros) for those who prefer Hipstamatic Classic. As always, I eagerly await your test images and first impressions. Andiamo fuori e scattiamo foto!
