The LC-A Wardrobe

We all know what the classic LC-A looks like. Some of us even had it inked on their skin -- that’s proof of how iconic the camera is. This well-loved camera even has other models and versions that commemorate different events in the company’s history.

25th Anniversary Edition

A milestone in Lomography’s history, the LC-A’s 25th birthday is surely a must-not-miss event. This edition is all dolled up in a rich textured black leather and a golden anniversary emblem at the back. All cameras from this edition came with a Russian Minitar-1 lens and a special wooden box.

The “Pharaoh” Edition

Definitely a keeper in any collector’s stash. This copper-encrusted LC-A+ was a limited edition run of only 50 pieces. It’s an artwork all in itself.

The LC-A "Silver Lake" Edition

A downright classy and elegant piece, the LC-A Silver Lake edition celebrates craftsmanship and heritage with its sleek chrome body and genuine leather inserts. This is a limited edition LC-A camera and only 1,000 units were released in the market. It's quite the collection piece and it's worth noting that it has a Russian-made Minitar 1 lens if ever it gets taken out of the display cabinet for a day out in the field.

The LC-A+ White Japan Edition

This one's definitely a head turner -- the White Japan Edition is a special incarnation of the illustrious LC-A camera. Featuring an all-white body and a slew of nifty accessories and packaging, it is an ode to the beauty of "Karesansui" or a traditional Japanese stone garden. Anyone can tell that a great amount of artistry and passion has gone into the making of this one-of-a-kind camera.

LC-A+ Russia Day

Draped in striking red leather and adorned with fertility symbols and other unique markings, the LC-A Russia Day pays homage to the birth of the compact camera we all love. The LC-A camera is indeed rich in history and this is but a fitting tribute to its colorful past and bright future. The Russia Day edition comes with a Russian-made Minitar 1 lens and only 2,000 units were made.

“No Nukes” Edition

Protesting nuclear war is one thing the Lomographic Society stands by and this edition is proof. This LC-A+ was designed by the Lomography Embassy store in Korea. It has a special leather skin with a “No Nukes” logo stamping and only 500 units were released.

LC-A+ Gold

Elegantly gilded and carefully engraved, this special of most special editions comes with a unique number and certification sheet for authenticity. The package also comes with 2 rolls of Lomography 800 film, a Lomographiere hardcover book and a special wooden box. Only 130 units were made.

LC-A+ Instant

The LC-A+ conquers the instant world with its very own instant camera format. It can also switch back to its regular 35mm format with just a quick change of the back. Easy, convenient, and compact, this camera is a must-have for people who are looking for a little versatility and a lot of fun when shooting.

LC-Wide

With a 17mm ultra-wide Minigon lens, the LC-Wide brings all the saturated colors, shadowy vignettes, and unbelievable contrast of the Lomo LC-A+ to a wider stage. This 35mm camera can shoot in three formats -- full, square, and half frame. A versatile addition to the LC-A family.

LC-A 120

Sticking to one of Lomography’s 10 Golden Rules, the LC-A 120 is the definition of “Don’t think, just shoot.” with its medium format film, ultra sharp lens, and remarkable effects, any shooter can produce breathtaking photographs with every snap.

Though it comes in many faces, the LC-A remains the same with its well-loved features and quirks. You can see all of its wonderful designs and the stories behind them our All You Need to Know About the Lomo LC-A+ Family Online Guide.
