Lomography launches 'most advanced instant camera' yet

Set to ship in December, Lomo’Instant Automat is available for pre-order

Lomography, an organisation dedicated to experimental and creative photography, has designed the ultimate Polaroid: Lomo’Instant Automat, “the most advanced automatic instant camera”.

While most of the instant cameras have just one lens, Lomography’s latest device, announced on Wednesday, features a 60mm (35mm equivalent) built-in lens along with the option of wide-angle, fisheye, and close-up lens attachments.



The wide angle lens has an equivalent focal length of 21mm and a closest focusing distance of 0.3m - perfect for large group selfies.



The camera uses Fuji Instax Mini film with two shooting modes to choose from: Automatic and Bulb Mode.

In Automatic Mode, the Lomo’Instant Automat automatically adjusts shutter speed, aperture and flash output to suit your surroundings. Meanwhile, the Bulb Mode is ideal for low-light shots as it lets you shoot long exposures of up to 30 seconds.

Small enough to take with you wherever you go and available in four striking designs; the device is currently up for crowd funding on Kickstarter, and has raised over $187,000 - well past its goal of $100,000 in just a day.

Set to ship in December, the camera is available for pre-order for $96 for now, while its retail price will be $149.
