    Another interesting video Martin, it is nice to see some in-depth and unbiased reviews of cameras. Also, I would like to give another shout out to Ian as I have purchased several of his Photoshop plugins and they have really speeded up my workflow😃

    Excellent review -- once again. I also like this camera a lot. I actually put an extra "hat" on the shutter button and it improved it greatly.

    Martin, I always find your videos so enjoyable and informative. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights of each camera you feature on your channel. After getting back into film in the past year, I purchased several 120 film cameras you have featured after watching your video of them. I so enjoy Medium and Large Format and it was fun seeing you produce this video on the Lomo LC-A 120 which I have had for almost a year now. I absolutely love the unique characteristics each camera produces which is why I own quite a few 120 film cameras now (Holga GCFN 120, 120WPC, and 120PC; Diana F+; Mamiya-6 KII; Yashica MAT 124G, Zero Image 612F Pinhole; Lomo LC-A 120) and recently got into Large Format with 4x5 pinhole.

    Really enjoyed the review. I have this camera and like it very much, despite its quirks. The frame spacing issue varies according to film brands because the thickness of the backing paper makes a difference. I never count on getting 12 full frames. Mine also sometimes locks the winding on on frame 8 or 9. The workaround I use is to switch to MX and shoot once or twice with my hand over the lens until it decides it's happy to wind on. As I said, it has its quirks!

    Very clever camera. I have the regular LC-A and I like it very much. It's fun and easy to shoot. I love how it shows the focusing zone in the viewfinder. I rarely have any bad images with it. My Olympus XA-3 I often forget to focus and I keep getting shots out of focus.

    I bought a brand-new Lomo LC-A from Russia on eBay for $100. There are slight differences in style (and the manual is in Russian) but it's such an easy camera to use, it hardly matters.

    you have me looking through the boxes of unused collected antiquities and i've found the Zeiss box tengor and an original Lomo lca 35mm. The tengor is a real piece of an hair puller, 25th of a sec shutter speed or timed open T and f 11 or 22. with colour it gives what i would describe as a dreamy water colour effect of blurred colours and shapes, in black and white it yells like a male voice choir on a hot plate its prewar ( 1932-38) as its about as sharp as yer grannys pinny but for 6x4.5 on 120 its not much bigger than a bronica film back so well worth the odd roll just to get the olde world look. By the way i'm a pud muncher too down in sheffield

    Great video :-) I also have the Lomo LC-a 120, the all-black-version. I got it really cheap, 150€, in a like-new condition. Okay, it has some quirks like the film transportation that you mentioned. Also sometimes i have the problem that when i half-press the shutter a bit more the camera thinks that the shutter already was pressed and locks the shutter button. Here the MX-switch is really helpful, just put it to multiexposure and you can take the photo :-) Overall i love the look of the photos that the camera produces :-)

    To be able to do automatic long exposures is a real plus!
