The LC-A+ is the revised version of the original Soviet LC-A that Lomography brought into production in 2005. It offers improvements such as metering up to ISO 1600, a cable release and multiple exposures.
The LC-Wide, introduced in 2012, swaps the LC-A+’s 32mm lens for a 17mm ultra-wide-angle lens, and also offers multiple exposure aswell as a square-format mask and a half frame option.
In 2014, Lomography then released the LC-A 120, a plastic auto-exposure medium format camera based on the LC-A’s design.
Lomography added: “Over the coming year, we’re going to be holding exciting events and releasing even more new products to celebrate our anniversary! To kick things off, we’re asking Lomographers and everyone around the globe to get involved and tell us why they still love shooting film via our new survey – 30 Reasons For Analogue.”
