Lomo LC-A Film Camera

i liked how securely it was packaged.
the camera was in a very good condition. no scratches on the lense, and no scars found, either.
instruction was both in russian and english.
new battery was also in the package, (thank you!)
thx for the nice postcard, too.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great items and packing.
The items are just as they posted and their conditions are so great.
Shipping was so fast, too.
Above all, it was great deal

Right when I got the package from the post office I couldn't tear the box open faster to get to this little chewy sweet center out from all the polish newspapers and foreign writing. As soon as i held the original LC-A (not the LSI remake) in my hand I was in love! It was way smaller than I expected, which I was more than happy about. I even brought a roll of expired film with me to the post office just so I could take some pictures on the way back!

You can imagine how long it took me to finish off a roll and rush it to the nearest Sam's Club to get it developed. In developing them I realized that in a lot of the pictures the focus is off, but that is one thing you have to get used to when using a new camera- especially a toy camera in which you pretty much have to guess the focusing. Other than that the pictures were fun, colorful and slightly vignetted (honestly I wouldn't mind a little more) as you would expect from a toy cam.

I would have to say the only things I wish it had was the capability of is using 800+ speed film and producing multiple exposures (which the LSI version has both). I just couldn't bring myself to pay $250 dollars on lomography.com just for those features (and a couple more) when you can buy a more sturdy ACTUALLY Russian (MADE IN USSR) classic Commie version of the LC-A for about < $130 on e-vilbay lol.


All in all, I love my Ломо ЛК-А. Why pay way too much for a remake when you can pay just a little too much for the original :).

I love the compactness and ease of use with this camera. Some have complained about getting blurry shots, this is due to the zone focusing method used in order to properly focus your subject. I've only used it a couple times so far (just got it) but I only got 3 blurry shots because I forgot to adjust the focus before shooting. Once you learn your distances it's perfect. Shots were actually sharper than expected with this lens, the colors are beautifully vibrant ( I used cheap fuji film 400). It is great in low light because of it's 2.8 aperture, love the ability to use a shutter with a cord for super sharp photos. This is my 4th lomo camera and absolutely a quick favorite. As some have said you either love it or hate it. My main draw to this camera was the high saturation in colors and slight vignetting at the photo edges, what a cool look. Also the ability to double expose is always a fun touch. Depending on where you get yours it may come with a kit, got mine with the new LCA big book. All I can say is WOW!

My seller described it the way I received it. I even thought it was too humble a description because my LC-A was really in tip-top shape. The the album, case, instructions that came with it were also in very good condition. The price I got was also a steal! I'm happy I found my LC-A on eBay. It's just too expensive for me to buy it on other websites or order online. They usually sell it at $280, but I got mine at a whooping $100! How cool is that? Tips: I always look at the history of the seller, avoid those with lots of negative comments. Second, contact him/her personally. I think it's better to talk to them and ask them about the product they're selling. You can sense if it sounds a bit fishy or if it's a winning deal. Third, don't rush. Don't be too hasty when buying items you want. "If it's not for you, it's not for you," that's what I tell myself. Stick to your limits and try not to go overboard. It pays to wait. Honestly, praying about it helps too:) When all the green lights are on, go make that purchase!

eBay is a Godsend. I am so happy with my Lomo!

i buy lca from the seller .ebay@rugift.com send lca to me it e-bay they told it new in box.But when i received it Both of lca that i bought has a fungus on the lens and has a scratch on the body.it's not new i think they sold the second hand camera in the new price .

i received the item ...and it was exactly has i expected to. I even had some explanations on some issues about the item i bought.

This camera old russian design probably copied from ancient german sources, now exploited by austrian company called lomographic. Made in st petersburg (former leningrad) and evolved in several models. This comera is an early late model 2 (or 3) depending on whether original lc (n0n-autmat ) is counted as 1 or 1/2. Unlike model 3 (or 4) this one has no tripod mount or provision for attaching cable release to shutter button. But it does have manual aperture control which later model does not. Kamra always chooses shutter spedd, hence automat. focus by scale, with nifty pictures in viewfindr to help asses distance. thumbwheel winder retro and very heavy for size, lc-a built like miniature tank or tankette. I like this camera for art but not for much else, but that is okay because art is what i do.
