Boxy tin beryllium beautiful.
Lomography announced a caller Lomo MC-A movie camera, a 35mm format point-and-shoot with a fixed 32mm f/2.8 lens and metallic body. It’s a charmer of a caller movie shooter, implicit with a built-in flash, autofocusing solid lens, manual movie beforehand lever, and an included CR2 artillery that recharges via USB-C. The MC-A is disposable for preorder present for $549 successful black oregon silver, and it’s going to beryllium made successful tiny batches with the archetypal delivering “before December 24th.”
Lomo cameras person a estimation for being mostly toy-like and choosing amusive implicit features oregon tech specs. But the MC-A seems a precise competent point-and-shoot for thoroughfare photography oregon mundane slice-of-life benignant pictures. It has afloat manual vulnerability control, arsenic good arsenic car and aperture precedence modes, and the enactment for manual portion focusing. You tin adjacent bash multi-exposure captures to get other artsy.
It reminds maine a batch of the Pentax 17 I reviewed past year, though its full-format 35mm alternatively of fractional framework and costs conscionable $50 more. While the Pentax’s charm came from its small, compact stature and however it could get up to 72 shots per roll, the Lomo MC-A volition person much solution and lone measurement astir 42 grams more. And though some are powered by CR2 batteries, the information that the Lomo comes with a rechargeable 1 circumvents a somewhat annoying symptom constituent of utilizing old-fashioned cameras. Though, successful a pinch, you tin inactive usage disposable CR2s.
And due to the fact that Lomo seems incapable to assistance itself from being quirky, the MC-A includes its Splitzer lens attachment for splitting aggregate exposures onto the aforesaid framework and flash gels for giving the built-in flash a bold and colorful look. The camera assemblage itself is besides emblazoned with a well-meaning but reasonably cringey mantra of “Everybody is adjacent earlier the lens — and down it.”
But quirks, novelties, and cheesy slogans aside, the Lomo MC-A looks similar a precise well-rounded bundle for a modern movie point-and-shoot.
