Love the multiple exposures!

The full lens projection is pretty sweet. Looks about like a 2:1 aspect ratio, which is sorta-kinda into the pano aspect ratios..

Easily the best video on this camera

i really wish it had a faster shutter speed available. 1/250 can be restricting on bright days. 1/500 would have made this perfect!

Outstanding video!

Dude same here with that focus lever lol. Rad shots as per usual though!!

Great review of pros and cons, Chris! Yes I agree a tele lens and tripod socket would be great enhancements to the next version of this camera. I love the control over ISO and multiple exposures. Love the ratchet film advance. Looks like a spy cam from the 1960s Bond films. 🕵️‍♂️. They really pushed the envelope on 110 film to get the best image quality. Wish we had that in the 70s - all those fuzzy prints I have from the Instamatic cameras! Great job 👏!

Congrats, you're the first review I've seen to mention the reloaded film capability! I guess Lomography would rather one not do this, but then again it's relegated to 110 hobbyists so maybe they're not sweating it. 😄 Can confirm the advance issue was fixed, but also I think the "full press" of the shutter is still necessary for the film to advance (especially important for reloads). Shutter is definitely the weakest part of the camera. The LED is interesting. I've since learned that if the camera is left open for a while it will actually turn off to save battery, and you have to close and open it to turn it on again. This is fine for regular 110 film, but with reloads it unfortunately causes a lost frame. My main wants for a revised version are to beef up the shutter feedback and add some info in the viewfinder (parallax correction marks at the very least). I you like the advance action of this camera, check out the Agfa 110 line, they use the same push-pull mechanism.

With my Lomomatic I use the shutter button by firat gently pressing it to make the exposure and minimise camera shake. The press the sutter button again to engage the winding mechanism, it is often at this point that I see I forgot to set the focus correctly.

I love the grainy look of 110 images when getting experimental such as bulb exposures and double exposures. There is definitely a 110 look that is very distinctive. Something I did not understand in your video is the "factory pre-flashing of film." I always assumed the 110 image shape was due to the mask of the cartridge opening. Do you mean that they use light to overexpose the border areas before loading the 110 film into cartridges and that the 110 cartridge opening is always wider than that allowing more of a 3:2 ratio? And presumably the vertical would be bigger as well making the image area larger than MFT, and closer to APS-C. That makes loading your own 16mm film very enticing. I would love to try Delta 400 black and white in the camera. And it would be nice to try Ektachrome since it appears Lomography has probably discontinued Peacock. I have the Minolta Zoom 110 SLR II, and I read somewhere that that camera also works with cut down films without the "correct" perforations due to the way the shutter cocking mechanism works. Do you know where to get empty cartridges, because it seems frustratingly limited to be just reloading used cartridges as they must wear out or get damaged from opening them (although I suppose the supply of them would increase over time from buying fresh packaged film?) And how do you deal with the backing paper issue? If reusing paper, I wonder if it is possible to cut down paper from say, a Kodak 120 film? I hate the random light leak spots that Lomography builds into their 110 films. Presumably through deliberate perforation of the backing paper. We never used to have that problem with 110 film back in the 1970's and 80's, so it has to be deliberate action by Lomography. The camera is small enough that it should be possible to use a clamp to jury-rig a way of attaching the camera to a tripod. The boxy shape should make it easy to tape gel filters across the front of the lens. as it would benefit from an orange filter for black and white skies. And it would be nice to try a light orange or amber warming filter with '92 film to mute the blue effect a little. I liked the look of that '92 film on 110. It is the first time I have seen examples of it in 110 format, and it looks like Metropolis in that they look better in the grainy smaller format than on larger formats. Metropolis on 110 looks really good, while its color shifts are a bit much for my liking on 135 and 120. The blue of '92 is a bit much for me on 135, but here it looked great. Your video inspires me to get one of these Lomomatic cameras.

Benefits of your review it helped with a New York Times crossword clue!

good stuff! do you think you'll be buying one to keep?

Film in the coffee cup?!! Noooooooo! 😢 😂
