Get to Know Lomography's Full Instant Camera Line-Up

Snapping moments on Instant cameras is exciting. There's nothing like the experience of watching an image unfold before your very eyes – in formats 62 mm x 46 mm (mini), 62 mm x 62 mm (square), and 62 mm x 99 mm (wide).

If you’re looking for creative and experimental ways to push the medium, but still retain the simple and colorful joys that come out of the tangible and physicality of analogue (plus a kick of nostalgia), then analogue instant cameras may be just what you’ve been waiting for. Lomography has a stacked line-up of six Analogue Instant Cameras varying in shape and size for all kinds of photographers and occasions, that use the familiar Fujifilm Instax film line — mini, square, and wide.

The cameras grant you control and the power to craft the kind of images you'd like to make. With the built-in multiple exposures, exposure compensation, colored gels, long exposure features, and optional lens attachments, you'll be able to go full force and steer your vision and creativity in the way you want it to.

View the instant collection below — from classic and sleek designs to artist-led collaborations — and discover six ways to document your most cherished moments.

1. Lomo’Instant Camera

Being the first of the Lomography instant camera collection, the Lomo’Instant makes a great introductory camera that’s suitable for everyday and on-the-go use for both new and seasoned instant photographers. Launched in 2015, with several classic, sleek, and artist-led collaborative designs coming later, the camera is still noted and celebrated for its accompanying line of accessories ranging from lenses (fisheye, portrait, and close-up lens attachments) to colored gels. With these tools, the 27 mm built-in wide-angled lensed instant camera provides anyone and everyone full creative control over their images. The general build of the camera is extremely compact and light, making it the perfect instant camera to tag along with you on your journeys.

2. Lomo’Instant Automat Camera

The Lomo’Instant Automat is everything the Lomo’Instant camera has and more…but now with fully automatic functions and features: automatic aperture, shutter speed, and flash. Maintaining the light and compact unit build the mini-sized instant camera line is known for, the Instant Automat doubles in creative instant capabilities and multiplies in unlimited possibilities. With a lens cap also designed to double as a wireless remote control, the Lomo'Instant Automat camera lens is ready to take on the day and the challenges that lay ahead. Taking that a step further, optional accessories such as the fish-eye, macro, and wide-angle lenses also fit right in with his camera and propel your instant photographs to the highest of heights. The 60 mm (35 mm equivalent) lens helps you achieve more personal images with a glossy-like look to it — as if recalling a transient dream but materialized into an image you can physically keep.

3 focus zones: 0.6 m, 1 - 2 m, infinity

3. Diana Instant Square Camera

The Diana Instant Square belongs to the historic Diana camera family line that began way back in the 1960s. The camera’s incredible results are credited to its fully manual features and capabilities: it’s a camera meant to proudly pack a punch of lo-fi saturation and vignettes (those that charmingly crown the frame of the Instax square film!) to your captured images. We encourage you to test out portrait photography using the optional 75 mm glass lens attachment or try out pinhole photography by simply unscrewing the lens. Whip out the Diana for unlimited party tricks!

3 focus zones: 1–2 m, 2–4 m, 4 m–infinity
4 adjustable apertures: f/11 (cloudy), f/19 (partly cloudy), f/32 (sunny), and f/150 (pinhole)
Instant film size: Fujifilm Instax Square

4. Lomo’Instant Automat Glass

If the Lomo’Instant Mini Camera line was a video game, then the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass would be the prize won or mission accomplished once you’ve reached the Boss level. The highlight of the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass is in its title: a glass lens. Similar to having 20/20 vision or seeing in 4k, the wider glass lens permanently attached to this instant camera is all that, but, in analogue style. This camera has an upgraded zone focusing system (0.3 m makes it perfect for close-ups, while 0.6 m is a no-fail razor-sharp selfie-proof focus zone, and 1 m–infinity will enthusiastically capture your framed spaces to a tee). The Instax photos coming from this Mini-sized camera along with the Lomo’Instant and Lomo’Instant Automat are sized perfectly to be stored in wallets for memory safekeeping, in between pages of your favorite books, and much more!

3 focus zones: 0.3 m, 0.6 m, 1 m–infinity

5. Lomo’Instant Square Glass Camera

Think of the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass, but in square form, fit to a 1x1 aspect ratio grid and designed with thoughtful folding bellows to give a nod to the beginnings of early photography. Similar to the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass, the defining feature of this square instant camera is its ultra-sharp and focused 95 mm (45 mm equivalent) glass lens. Take the Lomo’Instant Square Glass Camera around town and imagine (and possibly even actualize?) you’re taking an album cover photo in 62 mm x 62 mm. Build a memory bank full of photos you can carry with you through life — on instant.

3 focus zones: 0.8 m, 1–2.5 m, infinity
