Hailed as the historical camera that sparked the Lomography movement, the compact LOMO LC-A has fascinated generations of snapshooters from its birth in 1984 up to the present.
Produced by the LOMOPLC in St. Petersburg, Russia, the LOMO Kompact Automat (LC-A) remains one of the most iconic film cameras that enjoys cult status to this day. Modeled after the Japanese compact Cosina CX-1, it was developed using cheaper components, but its Minitar 1 glass lens was eventually given recognition for the slightly oversaturated powerful colours and the vignette it produces around the corners of a photograph. It went on mass production on June 19, 1984 with only 110 units produced per month.
