The Lomo MC-A is a brand new film camera, with autofocus and manual focus, plus shutter speed, aperture controls, and exposure compensation dials, and a manual film winder. At just under $550/£450, this is either going to be amazing, or the biggest disappointment ever, although we can’t see any reason why this camera wouldn’t be amazing, considering the Minitar II branded 32mm f/2.8 lens on the front. It also looks like it’s what the Pentax 17 and Rollei 35AF should have been, and is available for $549 in the US and £449 in the UK, and it looks AMAZING. Have a look at these pictures of the new camera below, along with a gallery of sample images.
