Every photographer has heard, in every manner of paraphrasing, “…the best camera you have is the camera in your pocket.” Those inventive folks at Lomography have actually taken this quip to heart and made it into the ethos of their extensive line of 110-format cameras. From plastic fisheye cameras to precision glass-lens petite pocket powerhouses, Lomography has a 110-format camera for everybody and every budget.
Unless, of course, you’re a zebra! Well, hold your black & white African horses, because today Lomography has released the Lomomatic 110 Camera & Flash Zebra Crossing edition or, more succinctly, Lomomatic 110 Zebra Crossing.
Yes, sharp-eyed readers will recognize that this is a repackaging of the popular Lomomatic 110 Camera & Flash Golden Gate model. Now, however, this pocket-perfect photo-maker is dressed in a sharp white finish appointed with a fanciful font typeface and a playful zebra print detail. Chic, it is, and fashionable, you’ll be, when sporting this 110-format camera at all of the upcoming holiday parties that you’ll be invited to attend.
Cool cats rocking the Lomomatic 110 Zebra Crossing camera know that a glass 23mm Minitar CX lens will ensure that every party photograph is sharp, while the onboard auto-exposure system has your back for enabling you to fake it like you know it. Thankfully, a detachable flash is included with the camera for helping to shed some light on any Mistletoe smooching that might elude many of those “other” cameras.
A metal chain wrist strap will enable you to keep your 110-format camera always ready for catching anything that revelers regrettably try to do after too much libation. And, if you partake too much, the zone-focusing system coupled with a multiple exposure switch might prove to be your undoing. Remember, what happens at the holiday party, doesn’t always stay at the holiday party.
Your holiday party pleasing Lomography Lomomatic 110 Camera & Flash Zebra Crossing is priced at $119.
Enjoy.
