To some, the LC-A 120 might just seem to be an overpriced lump of plastic designed to exploit more dollars for Hipsters. But the LC-A 120 is without doubt one if not the most important camera launched in the last decade. And I’d argue it’s one of the best new cameras despite a few flaws.

Retro Medium Format Lo-Fi- The Samtoy – an original Diana Clone
Lomography’s launch of the Diana F+ in 2007 wasn’t a step forward in lo-fi photography.
