Lomography LC-Wide Camera (7862FJF)

Lomography LC-Wide – a compact 35 mm film camera with an integrated ultra-wide-angle lens, designed for photographers who want to capture more of their surroundings, experiment with different frame formats, and achieve the expressive aesthetic of analog photography.

The camera features a built-in Minigon 1 Ultra-Wide 17 mm f/4.5 lens, providing an ultra-wide field of view. It is perfect for street photography, travel, architecture, interiors, events, group shots, and creative close-up frames. The wide field of view allows more of the environment to fit into the frame, even when photographing from a short distance from the subject.


The LC-Wide maintains the classic Lomography photographic character – characterized by vibrant colors, rich contrast, expressive depth of field, and noticeable vignetting. Due to these qualities, every frame gains a unique analog mood and an instantly recognizable "Lomo" style.


Minigon 1 Ultra-Wide 17 mm lens

The integrated 17 mm f/4.5 Minigon 1 Ultra-Wide lens provides a much wider field of view than standard compact film camera lenses. This allows for photographing dynamic scenes from up close, intensifying perspective and creating an immersive image.


When moving closer to the subject, it appears larger and more expressive in the frame, while the background remains wide and informative. This effect is particularly suitable for creative portraits, party photography, travel moments, and spontaneous street shots.


The lens's optical character is characterized by:




rich, vivid colors;



sharp contrast;



expressive perspective;



characteristic vignetting;



classic analog photography aesthetic.




Three shooting formats in one camera

One of the exceptional features of the LC-Wide is the ability to shoot in up to three different frame formats using standard 35 mm film.


You can choose:




full 35 mm frame – 36 × 24 mm;



square format – 24 × 24 mm;



half-frame format – 17 × 24 mm.<



The full-frame format is suitable for classic 35 mm photography and allows you to utilize the entire width of the film frame. The square format provides a symmetrical view suitable for social media content and creative compositions.


By choosing the half-frame mode, you can capture two separate photos in a single standard film frame. In this way, you can get up to approximately 72 half-frame photos from a 36-exposure roll. This is not only economical but also provides the opportunity to create pairs of related frames, photographic stories, or unexpected visual combinations.


Simple zone focusing

The Lomography LC-Wide uses a two-position zone focusing system. The photographer does not need to precisely turn a focus ring or estimate distance in centimeters – they simply need to select one of the two focusing zones.


Available focusing positions:




approximately 0.4 to 0.9 m for close objects;



from approximately 0.9 m to infinity for general planes and distant scenes.<




This system allows for fast and intuitive photography. It is particularly convenient in street photography, at parties, during travel, or in other situations where it is important not to miss the moment.


Automatic exposure

The integrated programmable automatic exposure system selects the appropriate shutter speed based on the ambient lighting and the sensitivity of the film being used.


The camera supports films up to ISO 1600, so you can shoot in various conditions – from bright sunlight to low light indoors or in the evening.


Automatic exposure allows you to focus on composition, the moment, and the creative idea, as the camera takes care of the basic exposure settings itself.


Shutter speed up to 1/500 sec.

A maximum shutter speed of 1/500 sec. allows you to capture moving people, street scenes, sports moments, or other dynamic objects. A faster shutter speed also helps reduce the likelihood of image blur when shooting handheld.


When shooting in lower light, long exposures can be used to creatively convey motion, light trails, or the atmosphere of a city at night.


"Bulb" mode for long exposures

The LC-Wide features a "Bulb" mode, allowing the shutter to remain open for as long as the photographer needs. This provides the opportunity to create long-exposure photos at night, photograph car light trails, starry skies, light paintings, or artistically convey moving objects.


To achieve the best results during long exposures, it is recommended to mount the camera on a tripod and use a mechanical remote shutter release.


Unlimited multiple exposures

The integrated MX multiple exposure switch allows you to capture several images on the same film frame. The number of frames is not strictly limited, allowing for experimentation with layering portraits, cityscapes, plants, lights, or abstract textures.


Multiple exposure provides the opportunity to create completely unique images directly on the film, without using computer editing software.


Bright optical viewfinder

A direct optical viewfinder installed in the center of the camera provides a clear and unobstructed view of the scene. It helps to quickly compose the frame and conveniently track moving objects.


Due to the wide lens angle of view, when shooting from up close, it is recommended to leave a little extra space around the main subject, as the final frame may encompass more of the image than is visible through the viewfinder.


Ability to use an external flash

A standard flash connection installed on the top of the camera allows you to connect a compatible external flash.


A flash is useful when photographing:




at parties;



at concerts;



indoors;



in the evening;



in strong backlight;



creating the direct flash analog photography aesthetic.<




Using an external flash allows you to obtain bright, high-contrast, and spontaneous shots characteristic of classic Lomography photography.


Tripod and shutter release connections

At the bottom of the camera is a standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread, so the LC-Wide can be mounted on most photographic tripods, mini tripods, or other holders.


The shutter button also features a standard thread for a mechanical shutter release cable. This helps prevent camera shake when shooting with long exposures.


Compact and convenient for travel

Despite the ultra-wide-angle lens and abundance of creative functions, the LC-Wide remains compact and easy to carry. The camera is convenient to take on trips, city walks, festivals, parties, or daily outings.


Since the lens is integrated, there is no need to carry additional lenses or complex photographic equipment. Once the film is loaded and the focusing zone is selected, you can start shooting immediately.
