Personal ramblings on photography
Lomography just announced the Lomo MC-A, a 35mm point and shoot camera.
Has a 32mm f/2.8 auto focus glass lens, auto exposure or manual, DX coding with override, built-in flash.
At CA$699 from Lomography, it is cheaper than the Pentax 17 and allow more control. Available around December 2025, and also in black.
Another choice for a new 35mm film camera.
A day after Kodacolor 100 and 200 are announced, Lomography comes out with a new 200 ISO colour negative. LomoChrome Classicolor 200 is a “limited edition”. Not sure why limited edition, I suspect they might have obtained a limited stock of something no longer produced. CN100 is thought to be a Kodak stock that is not available under a different brand.
It will be sold for CA$13.90 which is higher than of the Kodacolor 200 listed at CA$16.00.

And the Kodacolor announcement was such a big deal that non photography outlets talked about it.
Early December Ilford announced two new disposable cameras with their black and white film, one with HP5, the other with XP2.
Strangely, disposable cameras still sell well in comparison, and Ilford is just trying to capitalize on this. There is a version with processing included for the HP5 film as it is traditional B&W. The XP2 film can be processed anywhere as it is C-41 process.
End of January, Lomography announced the LomoChrome Purple, a colour negative film design to achieve effects similar to the long discontinued Kodak EIR inversible film. The 35mm version is already sold out, but the 120 will cost you around $60 for a five pack, on pre-order.
It is good to see new niche product like these or like the Fujifilm Baby box.
