The Lomography Lomo MC-A is a true retro compact camera with a metal body, glass lens, 35mm film – and both auto and manual controls

The Lomography Lomo MC-A in a photographer's hand.

The resurgence of analog photography has brought a handful of new film cameras for the modern era – but many of them focus on beginner-friendly tools or affordable prices with plasticky designs. Lomography’s newest film camera, however, is a compact with an all-metal body, a glass f/2.8 lens, and both auto and full manual shooting.

The Lomography Lomo MC-A is a compact camera with a built-in 32mm f/2.8 lens. The camera uses the full frame of 35mm film, but the MC-A isn’t all retro – the battery is rechargeable via USB-C and there’s a small LCD screen to display the current settings. It is a very different beast from its ancestor, the Russian Lomo LC-A, which was such a sales success back in the 1980s.
