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 focus
