Lomography just launched an Instax Wide camera with a 90mm 𝒇8-22 coated glass lens for under $300: Lomo’Instant Wide Glass.

I’m very happy that Fujifilm allowed its film format to grow far beyond its in-house cameras, with many options available for advanced photographers, including the MiNT InstantKon rangefinder, back for large format cameras, and even a gingerbread camera with the help of the Jollylook manual processor (analog.cafe/r/building-the…, unfortunately just 1 of 1 for now).

However, quality glass options for Instax film are not cheap. InstantKon currently sells for $900, NONS SLRs (which accept a variety of vintage lenses with Instax Square) are $500, and backs for medium and large format cameras (while relatively affordable) still require the said pricey cameras.

Lomo’Instant Wide Glass, on the other hand, is $279. Though this camera comes short of full manual controls, “the world’s sharpest instant camera” comes with a 90mm (35mm equiv.) 𝒇8-22 coated glass lens with a 0.3m/1’ close focus (zone focusing), 8–1/250s leaf shutter with Bulb and a fixed 1/30s option, +1/-1EV exposure compensation control, multiple exposure control, flash & remote flash (PC), and wireless shutter trigger.

The camera is available for sale on the Lomography website: shop.lomography.com/us/lom…

I’ll add samples to this thread shortly.
