Analog photography is definitely not gone. In recent years, many new 35mm films have been released, and companies like Leica are still producing and selling analog cameras. Now, Lomography has introduced a new 35mm analog camera, priced at $549, which is much more affordable than the Leica M-A and is said to have more user-friendly options.

Autofocus and Features

This camera comes with autofocus capabilities, and it can automatically set exposure time. This means that when in auto mode, photographers just need to press the shutter to capture clear and well-exposed images. It’s also possible to manually adjust the shutter speed and focus, but only zone focusing is available in that mode. The metal casing and film advance lever are designed to enhance the traditional analog experience.

Lens and Display

The Lomo MC-A includes a fixed 32 mm f/2.8 lens. There’s a small screen on the top that provides quick access to features like the self-timer and shows the status of the flash and film. While it does support DX coding, photographers can manually change the film’s light sensitivity for auto exposure. The flash is built-in, but there’s no accessory shoe available. Power comes from a CR2 battery, and users can also use rechargeable CR2 batteries.

Pre-Order Information

The Lomography Lomo MC-A is now up for pre-order at $549 on the manufacturer’s website. Shipping is free, and deliveries should start in December. The camera comes in two colors: black and silver.
