About the Lomo LC-A

The vision of the LC-A (Lomo Kompakt Automat 35mm Camera) was simple - a miniaturized, automatic camera meant to provide the masses with a reliable workhorse for everyday photography. However, dig a little deeper and you will begin to see the true value of the gorgeous treasure. The LC-A's incredibly sexy 'Minitar 1" lens, designed by LOMO's revered Professor Radionov captures exceptionally vivid images in an all-seeing wide angle view. Its innovative auto-exposure capability, usually only available on very expensive professional cameras, allows the LOMO to function in all lighting conditions and to blow your mind at nightime with beautiful infusions of colors and light. The compact shape of the LC-A makes it a pleasure to take the LOMO everywhere, and its strong metal construction - intoxicating with the aroma of old-fashioned Russian workmanship - empowers the LOMO to be a loyal companion for years to come.
