Filtered Polaroid Cameras

The Lomo’Instant Cameras Bring Back Traditional Filters and Polaroids

— July 7, 2014 — Tech
Hipster camera company Lomography recently released the Lomo’Instant, a camera that cleverly combines nostalgic Polaroid film with retro filters. Now you can take real-life Instagram-worthy photos that you can immediately hang up on your bedroom wall.

The Lomo’Instant camera is a stylish analogue camera system that comes with several high-tech lenses already built into the camera’s body. You can seamlessly switch between a fisheye, a portrait and a wide-angle lens in a matter of seconds. The Lomo’Instant also comes with multiple shooting modes, exposure settings and filters so you can shoot hipster-inspired images in real-time. The Lomo’Instant brings the virtual world of Instagram to life by printing the filtered images directly onto nostalgic Polaroid film. Now you can immediately print your old-fashioned images so you always have physical reminders of your favorite memories.
