I actually love the shot at 5:22 - I hope you keep reviewing instant cameras as I find them so fascinating.

If there is any medium that should convey a message of fun it has to be instant film and with the sort of randomness with the auto exposure it kinda seems to take the fun away. It definitely has potential and I do love the results when it’s spot on. Great review again Hashem.

I have a friend who uses the Lomo Automat Glass extensively and definitely have no issues with exposure inconsistencies. His general feel is that the Fuji cameras produce a different colour and tends to be a bit more consistent, albeit a little less sharp because of the plastic lens.

Good to hear! Since that's an entirely different camera I'm guessing it could have different AE performance. But, those tendencies you mentioned are the general findings that I had and see with other users.

I've read that they updated their auto exposure system when they moved from the Lomo'Instant makes to the Automat makes. The Automat system is reportedly much improved

Interesting and quirky! You got some nice retro looking results with those, love the 70s vibe apartment!!

Just got mine! Im still getting used to the viewfinder in relation to the focusing distance. I read that if you're using infinity to 1-2.5, framing should include the dark gray part and for the 0.8m just look through the clear part. Probably ill buy expired films first to test it out 😂

@@NikoliF Looks like lomography restocked these on their website recently (at least in US). Ordered one yesterday and got shipping notification today.

I’ve been trying to get this camera but can’t find the mini film back attachment:( I don’t think lomography produces them anymore

What kind of setting you will use, if you are filming indoor shots at night, i mean with lights on. I took some pictures with my frd but it’s either very dark or highly exposed, and its in a very weird green tone too😢

So as far as the viewfinder goes, are you supposed to frame your subject in the clear area or does the whole thing show up in the photo regardless of what's in that brown area?

Anyone else having issues with the fake leather finishing peeling off? Not really the glue coming loose, but the material of the fake leather just falling apart?

8:46 that looks like BoyBoy lol. He's also from Australia

How much of a difference do you see on the sharpness level compared to the SQ6? Sometimes I wish my SQ6 was a bit more sharp, especially when I'm scanning them. Would the Lomo be an upgrade on that aspect?

@pushingfilm

It's enough to be noticeable. The bigger difference is the focal length, which offsets some of the apparent sharpness difference... But, I overall prefer the look from the Lomo

i wonder with film cameras getting more and more expensive if they're actually economic sense for a camera company to put out a decent retro style medium format film camera. I guess the lens would be the hardest thing but bigger lens are easier to make.

Lomo already makes several, including the super cool and retro Lubitel 166+. You also have Holga of course.

I dont know how I ended up in this rabbit hole but its very cool. Considering a Lomo, but will start with SQ6 and see how I get good.

hey man, question, on cameras like the Lomo, how do you set the focus? the camera does not have auto focus right? so how are you supposed focus without looking at a live image?

@pushingfilm

You basically choose from close, middle or far. There are little markings giving you a range for each (eg. "1-2.5m") So you don't actually "see" the focus as a preview.

I have one of these, used it a hand full of times trying to get used to it but eventually just bought an SX70 and moved over to Polaroid as the lomo design/focus/exposure etc just doesn’t cut it and I found I just end up wasting film

@@pushingfilm yeh the sx70 being an slr you can really count so much more on your framing and what you see through the view finder is what you’re actually going to get, so your only concern is getting your exposure right. I originally thought instax square would be better because the film is cheaper but you end up wasting so many photos because the lomo square framing and exposure sucks that it’s ends up being more cost effective to shoot Polaroid because your hit rate is higher

I purchased it some month ago, after first opening of the camera mechanism, the lens cover broke and lens is always open and exposed to dust and light, despite that is not bad, maybe a little overpriced, materials are very cheap.

Comparison between which film costs? If you're talking about the Lomo and the SQ6, they both use the same film, as mentioned in the video.

It seems to me that you are shooting subjects that are way outside the contrast limits of the film. If you were shooting transparency film, your results would be even worse. You can't expect any medium to cope with the contrast extremes you are subjecting it to. Learn the limits of whatever medium you are working with, then shoot within those limits. The meter in a camera like this would not be very sophisticated either, so is trying to average out the scene. You should notice that when shooting a scene with a reduced contrast range, the photos were much more successful. This is basic stuff in photography, and applies to any film or camera. If you must shoot in these conditions, use fill flash or reflectors to reduce the depth of the shadows.

I don't get why Lomo always uses this cheap paper thin leatherette. It looks terrible. My Lomo Instant Wide looks the same.
