Last week, Lomography updated its premium *multi-format* instant film camera designs with Pemberley (pictured) and The Blues.
Lomo’Instant Square Glass works with Instax Square *and* Instax Mini films via an interchangeable film back (compare film dimensions here: analog.cafe/r/instant-film…). It uses a 95mm lens (45mm equivalent — presumably with the square format), and its two apertures: 𝒇10 and 𝒇22 that you’ll need to zone focus (how to zone focus: analog.cafe/r/how-to-zone-…). Its fully automatic shutter can fire between 1/125s and 8s with a 30s max delay in Bulb mode.
With ‘Instant, you get to control flash, multiple exposures, and exposure compensation — but it’s otherwise a fully automatic film camera.
Glass lenses are a relatively new offering for a brand that’s been known for its plastic “toy” cameras, like the Diana Mini (analog.cafe/r/diana-mini-7…). Yet, Lomography is serious about their designs (see my Nour Triplet 2.0 review: analog.cafe/r/nour-triplet…) and a transition to a higher quality and pricepoint products in their lineup (they were the first in a long time to release a glass lens 110 camera: analog.cafe/comments/0jn2).
Lomography has been regularly updating its cameras with new cosmetic designs and “artist editions.”
Last year, Lomo’Instant Automat received several new skins (analog.cafe/comments/sqra), and so did its 110 camera. I expect the brand to release more colourful editions this year for at least two of its products (Instant Square Glass being the first).
Lomo’Instant Square Glass lets you take unlimited multiple or double exposures, which has been a big selling feature for many of Lomography’s cameras. Here’s one sample I got with the press release (shot by Lomography Hong Kong staff):
