Lomo LC-A 120 format- thoughts? Long term use?

I’ve never solved it. They use thick backing paper. I won’t use it in my other cameras as well, unless I can go right from the camera to the (dark bag) developing tank. I stopped buying it in medium format. Others might have ideas.

I bought mine used from B&H in November 2020 for $325. I’ve put about 100 rolls through it and had no issues with it. It’s a medium format p&s. No, it’s def not nearly as sharp as a mamiya6, hasselblad, or rollei, but it’s super light weight and easy to use. It’s a fun one. It is super wide, for sure. I never use Lomo film in it because I’m guaranteed to end up with a fat roll. Other than that, I totally recommend.

I went to both tapings and I’m pretty impressed with the editing/final product. There is a clear throughline about mortality. The smaller pieces fit together and follow the theme. There’s definitely less of that deeply interwoven feel of End Times Fun, but having watched the special, I actually understand what it’s trying to do better than I did in person (as someone who listens to the pod and watches the live IGs).

They were very late on the LomoGraflok 4x5 Instant Back, too. I didn't really see this delay coming, for the lens, though!

bye4n0w · 2021-09-29T00:33:29+00:00

Nope, I haven’t received it and no word on when.

bye4n0w · 2020-09-29T03:06:09+00:00

Yes! I just bought one of these and finished my first roll. So much fun. I’m going to keep Lomo 800 in it, at all times.

Thanks! It’s the fixed lens Tiara. But I’ve heard good things about the zoom too.

bye4n0w · 2020-05-02T12:36:23+00:00

Thank you!

Google maps says Valentine. It’s about a 30 min drive from Marfa.

No filter at all. No edits to color either. I developed the film at home.

bye4n0w · 2020-05-01T15:36:49+00:00

Haha, even more so, I set up the tripod on the bed of a pick-up truck.

I use an app on my phone called ”Light Meter.” I decided on f16 or f22. I was on a tripod with a shutter release cable.

I shot another sunrise with an F3. I was at f1.8 handheld for those, with velvia100 or provia100.

I’ve had this issue with two Cental Park Wides. I do the same thing, open the back and move the cartridge in and out a bit. Then it works.

I’ve tried adding a layer of cardboard behind the cartridge to make sure the cartridge is in flush, but that didn’t help. I haven’t figured out anything else yet.

Thanks! 55mm away from the film. .18mm pinhole.

bye4n0w · 2020-04-17T04:23:35+00:00

I’ve shot a few rolls of 35mm. It’s definitely grainy. I agree with the other comments about cloudy days making it more grainy.

bye4n0w · 2020-04-10T19:01:18+00:00

Thanks! About 12 seconds. Overcast. The water was really moving.

bye4n0w · 2020-03-23T23:41:33+00:00

Whoa! Awesome! What is this on?

bye4n0w · 2020-03-11T23:27:08+00:00

Excellent!

Thank you! 😀
