Lomography Lomo'Instant Wide Overview
Characterized by its elegant brown and silver exterior, the Lomo'Instant Wide Central Park Camera and Lenses from Lomography bundles the unique instant film camera with a series of add-on lenses and other tools to hone your creative vision. The Lomo'Instant camera records 2.5 x 3.9" images on INSTAX Wide film, and offers both programmed auto and manual control for adjusting exposure times. One-stop exposure compensation lets you adjust brightness and darkness settings, and a bulb setting is also available for making long exposures. Additionally, multiple exposures can be recorded for creative effects. The built-in 90mm lens offers a wide-angle 35mm equivalent focal length, and f/8 and f/22 aperture settings can be used to affect exposure and depth of field. The lens also has a three zone focus ranges for working with subjects as close as 2', nearby subjects within a 3.3-6.6' range, or distant subjects with an infinity setting. For creative effects or working in low lighting, a built-in flash is also featured that works with the programmatic shutter for accurate exposure results.
Included in this bundle with the camera is an ultra-wide attachment lens and accessory viewfinder, which broadens the field of view to a 21mm equivalent focal length for photographing interiors or highlighting a broad perspective. On the other end of the spectrum, a close-up attachment lens is also included to permit photographing subjects as close as 3.9" away. Aiding your multiple exposure endeavors is a dedicated Splitzer for masking a portion of the frame while shooting, and the bundle also includes four gels for adding color to your flash photos and the included lens cap doubles as a remote shutter release for your selfies and group photos.
