Lomography Lomo'Instant Wide Overview

Included in this bundle with the camera is an ultra-wide attachment lens and accessory viewfinder, which broadens the field of view to a 21mm equivalent focal length for photographing interiors or highlighting a broad perspective. On the other end of the spectrum, a close-up attachment lens is also included to permit photographing subjects as close as 3.9" away. Aiding your multiple exposure endeavors is a dedicated Splitzer for masking a portion of the frame while shooting, and the bundle also includes four gels for adding color to your flash photos and the included lens cap doubles as a remote shutter release for your selfies and group photos.

Fun while it lasted; frustrating manual controls

By Philip

Rated 2 out of 5

Date: 2026-06-15

I am an avid photographer who received this camera as a gift and used it pretty sparingly over a number of years, mostly at parties. I probably got 100 or so exposures from it over that period of time before it died. It produces fun results, but it is difficult to credit the camera for that. The fun is in the instax wide film format. If anything, the camera gets in the way, especially when you try to use its manual functions, which is sort of the whole appeal of this over a Fuji branded camera. Its manual functions are simple but even still are not intuitive. The most frustrating example is how pushing the button that disables the flash (the flash is on by default) only does so temporarily for a short period of time. But much of photography is waiting for the moment. Thus, you end up shooting with the flash very often unintentionally. Having that happen while trying to take a discrete long exposure in a crowded dark room is embarrassing. Still, there is something Bohemian about learning how to use an unusual tool, especially one that does not make learning easy on you. Eventually the ejection mechanism stopped working and part of the inner works was stuck in the way of the film, so even if I were to pull the film out manually, each shot had a big black stripe over it because the mechanism was blocking the exposure. Lomography would not offer a repair because the camera was out of warranty. This despite their admission that the problem was caused by a defect which they corrected in a later revision of the camera. You may have better results as far as the thing lasting than I did with mine, but I cannot recommend a company that does not stand behind the most basic function of their product. Pros: Fun photos when everything worked out right. Many attempts at thoughtful features (e.g., the microscopic selfie mirror or the remote trigger lens cap or the interchangeable viewfinders). Offers the possibility of interesting photos with manual controls (most notably the bulb shutter mode). Cons: The build quality is quite bad; it is a huge chunky plastic rectangle; it creaks in the hand; it is not ergonomic; anything you have to interact with that is not a simple button (e.g., the dial to turn it on) feels like it is about to break when you use it. The ejection mechanism always sounded like it was about give out and ultimately it did. The focus mechanism on the lens is a difficult to rotate creaky plastic-on-plastic affair. The viewfinder only roughly lines up with the image you actually shoot; the usefulness of the interchangeable viewfinders for different fields of view is extremely limited because of this; it is very frustrating when you are going for a specific composition and your photo just does not match. Similarly, the selfie mirror on the front of the body is pretty useless; it is so small and the field of view is so approximate that it is more reliable to just pay attention to where the lens is pointed. As I noted above, the flash control is not intuitive; if you're waiting for the right moment to take a picture, you have to constantly make sure the flash doesn't turn itself back on. The remote trigger in the lens cap does not work reliably and it is hard to tell whether it is failing to fire the IR beam or the camera is failing to detect it; more than one wasted exposure trying to make the remote work and it going off at an unexpected time. Summary: In short, the camera is really fiddly to use if you are trying to do anything other than take an auto-exposed photo with flash, but manual control is kind of supposed to be the whole point of this camera. Screwing up because the tools are unreliable or unintuitive is not great when the photos cost $1 per shot and the moments you intended to capture can't be recreated. Ultimately, with this camera, Lomography has tried to implement manual features of more serious cameras but in an unserious way. They market this as an artistic tool, but because of the quality of implementation of its manual features, it has much more in common with no-frills instant cameras than it does with other artistically interesting cameras (like flim SLRs). I could imagine an instant film camera with the prerequisites for artistic control (e.g., an accurate viewfinder, precise focus control, flexible/repeatable exposure settings, and reliable mechanisms), but it would certainly cost more than this one does. I will not buy a Lomography camera to replace my dead one because I would be worried about another defect that, like this one's failure to eject, they admit responsibility for but will not make right.

Amazing pictures and great fun

It's not perfect. It's made of plastic and a cheap feeling paper like material. But I didn't buy it because I thought it was the quality of a $5000 DSLR. I bought it to have fun and be creative without using a computer to alter my image into something unrealistic. The outdoor pictures I have taken have all turned out amazing. You have to keep in mind lomography is not about super precise professional type pictures but rather just having fun. A lot of people say it over exposes in bright sunlight and they are probably right but in my experiences I think they look great. It is an instant camera using ISO 800 film so if you are expecting sharp digital quality photos.... buy a digital camera. For me it is so much fun to use and experience the magic of instant photos again without the disappointing wait times. The focus system does require you to have ability to judge distance somewhat accurately. The .6 meter setting is great for a close up portrait and has come out great for me every time in natural light with no flash. Indoor with flash has not been so great but I've only shot a few. When you get further away the judgment of distance and the markings on the lens become more important. A lot of people complain about the markings but I have found if the subject is about 3-4 feet away I go half way to the 1-2 meter mark. 4-6 feet away on the mark and 6-10 feet away between the 1-2 meter mark and infinity. Anything past 10 feet just set it to infinity. The close up lense is tricky to get the distance correct but like I said previously it's about taking pictures and having fun. It's awesome when you get that flower petal perfectly focused but it's still pretty cool when the leaves behind it are in focus and the petals are a little blurry. I really like the kind of dream state looking pictures it produces. I'm no pro but I love instant photos. Don't listen to all the negative Nancy's and just buy this camera for what it is....fun. Be creative and take pictures
