To many of us, Lomo is the camera brand that desirous a gazillion digital knock-offs, apps that crush and blend your cellphone photos in to something that would have been deserted by every photo editor in the days of film. Today, Lomo is ready to remind us only how cold the analog draw close can still be, with the brand new Lomo LC-Wide.
The new camera looks a lot similar to the LC-A, but comes with a few extras. First is the new lens, that puts the "wide" in the name. It's a super wideangle 17mm lens, vs the LC-A's already far-reaching 32mm. To obtain an thought of how far-reaching this is, once a lens gets to 16mm it is often a fisheye.
You can moreover select a few not similar formats. The regular, longish 35mm full-frame is still there, assimilated by half support (for up to 72 shots on a roll) and block (24 x 24mm).
The specs are reassuringly crappy. The shiver speed tops out at 1/500 sec and the limit orifice is a light-sapping '4.5. ISO settings run from 100 to 1600, but you can still use any faster or slower movie should you wish to (I suggest Ilford's Delta 3200 black and white. It has overwhelming pellet and we flattering ample always had a hurl of it in my aged Leica M6).
You moreover obtain a hotshoe for flash, a tripod socket, a threaded hole for a line release, and both module and handbook exposure.
The only thing about the Lomo LC-Wide that isn't inexpensive is the price. It'll cost you $390/350/350, depending on where you are in the world. we still type of wish one, though.
