"Lomography announced a new Lomo MC-A film camera, a 35mm format point-and-shoot with a fixed 32mm f/2.8 lens and metal body. It's a charmer of a new film shooter, complete with a built-in flash, autofocusing glass lens, manual film advance lever, and an included CR2 battery that recharges via USB-C. The MC-A is available for preorder now for $549 in black or silver, and it's going to be made in small batches with the first delivering "before December 24th.""
"Lomo cameras have a reputation for being mostly toy-like and choosing fun over features or tech specs. But the MC-A seems a very competent point-and-shoot for street photography or everyday slice-of-life type pictures. It has full manual exposure control, as well as auto and aperture priority modes, and the option for manual zone focusing. You can even do multi-exposure captures to get extra artsy."
"While the Pentax's charm came from its small, compact stature and how it could get up to 72 shots per roll, the Lomo MC-A will have more resolution and only weigh around 42 grams more. And though both are powered by CR2 batteries, the fact that the Lomo comes with a rechargeable one circumvents a slightly annoying pain point of using old-fashioned cameras."
The Lomo MC-A is a 35mm point-and-shoot with a fixed 32mm f/2.8 lens, metal body, built-in flash, autofocusing glass lens, manual film advance lever, and USB-C rechargeable CR2 battery. Manual exposure, aperture-priority, auto, and manual zone-focusing modes enable flexible shooting and multi-exposure captures add creative options. Preorders are $549 in black or silver, produced in small batches with initial deliveries before December 24th. The package includes a Splitzer lens attachment and flash gels for creative multiple exposures and color effects. The body carries a printed slogan and blends Lomography’s playful quirks with competent everyday performance.
