If you’re a photography enthusiast or even a novice, you might be familiar with 35mm film cameras, but do you know about 110 film? It’s half the size of a 35mm film frame and not very accessible in terms of price and processing. So is the Lomography Lomomatic 110 still worth getting?
The Lomomatic 110 uses the 110 film format, which Lomography revived in 2012 — it’s an imperfect format as the smaller negative size means it has a lower resolution, so it’s intended for people who value artistic choices over the technical semantics of photography. The camera itself is built really well and is available in a few colorways, and it’s easy to use too. Its small form factor means it’s easy to travel with, and its design is unlike any we’ve seen on 35mm cameras. But I’d emphasize the word “imperfect” here as the results are hit-or-miss, the film advance mechanism isn’t flawless, and it’s expensive to buy and process film.
