Lomo photography is about a lot more than saturated colors and a circular focal point. Hipstamatic and Instagram mean you can take digital lomo photographs whenever you want (assuming you have an iPhone), but the quality just isn’t there. Your new 5D Mark II takes fantastic pictures, but is it fun? Is it fun lugging around a whole bag of expensive equipment all day, every day just to spend 2 hours sitting in front of your computer processing images? No, no it’s not. What is fun? The newest camera from the Lomographic society. The LC-Wide is heir to the legendary LC-A throne and packs an ultra-wide-angle 17mm Minigon lens into it’s stealthy body. You get ultra-wide-angle lomos at full-, square- or half- formats so you can fit up to 72 shots onto one roll of film. Purist or newbie alike, this camera satisfies – as long as you want ultra-wide lomos.
