Lomography has built its reputation on playful, experimental film cameras that celebrate imperfection. So when the company announced the Lomo MC-A, a sleek, metal-bodied 35mm compact that looks far more Contax than Diana, I was immediately curious. This is Lomography clearly trying to appeal to photographers who love film but also value good design, and dependable, everyday usability.
After spending time shooting with the MC-A, I can safely say this is one of the most refined cameras Lomography has ever made – though it isn’t without a few quirks that remind you of its lo-fi roots – but it surprised me how much I enjoyed shooting with this camera, and how close I am to adding one to my own camera collection.
