Lomography Lomomatic 110 review: Brand-new 50-year-old technology

One-minute review

With simple-to-use controls and easy-to-load film, the Lomography Lomomatic 110 camera is a fun introduction to the world of shooting film. The retro bright-orange design, or the more stylish silver option, will appeal to those who shoot on film as much for the retro-trend factor as for the aesthetics of the images.

The camera comes with limitations, though, and these come down not to the camera itself, but from the use of 110 film. The small format is half the size of a 35mm film frame, which means even a 6 x 4-inch print severely magnifies the limitations of the format. 

So while the camera itself is hard to fault, the film format to which it’s intrinsically linked means it’s hard to recommend unless the extremely low-fidelity aesthetic is what you’re looking for.
