I'm getting a LOMO camera very soon, but would like to put them on my laptop. How can I do this? Is it possible to get the pics put on a disc when I get the pics developed??? Thanx.
if I were to use a flashdrive to put my pics on, do you think there would be a charge for doing so? or if I used my own data cd would I be charged? thanx!!!

If this is a film camera then just about every film processor will offer you the option of transferring the images to a CD. You can get negatives and prints, negatives and a CD, or all three. While a LOMO camera is inexpensive the long term cost of using one is more expensive than getting a simple digital camera. With a digital you never have to buy film and you only have to buy CDs if you want to archive or share your pictures. With a film camera, the film and processing are ongoing expenses and processors often charge extra for making a CD.
Some processors may store your images on a USB flash drive which you can use over and over. Ask around.

You can scan the developed prints. If you don’t have a scanner a school or library should have one you can use.

You can ask then to be scanned to CD when you have them developed.
I use a Epson V500 and it has really paid for itself by saving the cost of lab scans. You are not going to make a fine art 20×30″ from the V500 but I have found it will produce a file suitable for 8×10″ from a medium format frame.
