Lomography’s Lomo’Instant Wide Glass has been unveiled, and it’s being touted as the world’s best instant camera. Featuring a multi-coated 90mm glass lens that allows users to capture a sharper image than plastic due to the improved optical clarity, resulting in richer colors and sharper details.
It prints the photos directly onto Fujifilm Instax Wide film, complete with an impressive closest focusing distance of just 0.3m. Other features include a shutter speed range of 8s to 1/250, an aperture of f/8 or f/22, a fully programmatic shutter / aperture mode, PC-sync flash connection for external flashes, manual exposure compensation as well as flash controls, and multiple long exposure modes. Available now, priced at $299 USD.
- Automatic exposure and Flash control
- Self-timer with LED countdown
- Includes Camera angle adjustment accessory for perfectly angled photos
Other than the 500AF it is the best wide out there. But, I found the light meter to be inconsistent and mine never really is ever sharp. Fun fact, it’s got 49mm threads so you can put a nice square lens hood and it looks great and helps decrease flare, AND if you want to be ultra steathly, flip it to double exposure even if you are only doing one shot (great for street), take your shot, walk away, then flip back to normal mode and it’ll eject and no one will be the wiser,” said one commenter.
