Meet the new creme de la creme of all Lomo snapshot cameras. The LC-A+ takes the best features of the original Lomo LC-A and adds a host of new and super-useful capabilities making it simply the finest, surprising, robust, vividly colorful, and soundly addicting snapshot Lomo.

Like the original, the LC-A+ features Professor Radionov's legendary Minitar 1 lens handcrafted to perfection in St. Petersburg, Russia. This multi-coated beauty of a lens is the reason for most of the Lomos magical & famous effects - including over-intense color saturation, sharp contrast, vignetting at the edges, occasionally selective focus, and a whole host of other quirks that only the Lomo's analog wizardy can deliver. In addition, Lomo has taken the advice of it's community and has added powerful new mulitple and long-exposure features. The new MX (multiple exposure) switch allows you to superimpose one image on top of another an infinite amount of times for unique effects. Long exposure fans will love the addition of a cable release thread and cable release included in the LC-A+. No more blurry, shaky pictures when you place the Lomo somewhere sturdy and use the cable release to fire the shutter! Additional features include expanded manual ISO to 1600 setting, zone focus, second-curtain shutter and flash hotshoe, integrated lens blinds, and best of all - a 2 year international warranty. To top it off, the LC-A+ still has that classic feel - it's quite small (about 4.25"x2.5") and made from high quality steel with old-school precision and a socialist sense of design economy.

For colorful, surprising and unique photos everytime - you can't get much better than this. Includes the Lomo LC-A+ camera, cable release, "Lomographiere" hardcover book, 2 rolls of 35mm film, and 3 1.5v bateries all packaged in a cool wooden box. Recommended.
