Modernized Instant Film Cameras

The 'Lomo Instant Square' Stays True to the Original Design

— August 30, 2017 — Tech
Lomography merges the nostalgia of vintage cameras with the convenience of modern technologies with its newest Polaroid iteration, the 'Lomo Instant Square' -- an extension of its current collection of instant film cameras.

This camera features a more vintage feel than previously, boasting a large frame with distinctive folding bellows that enable access to the lens. The larger size of the camera is able to contain the now-square film pieces, which until previously, were only credit card-sized. Although adorable and wallet-friendly, the smaller size compromised image quality -- an annoyance that the Lomo Instant Square is set on amending.

The throwback design will enable users to more creatively curate their surroundings, discovering a new perspective that isn't often seen through the lens of a smartphone camera.

1. Retro Instant Film Cameras - The 'Lomo Instant Square' camera merges the nostalgia of vintage cameras with the convenience of modern technologies.
2. Enhanced Image Quality - The 'Lomo Instant Square' addresses the compromise in image quality that previous credit card-sized instant film cameras had.
3. Creative Curating - The throwback design of the 'Lomo Instant Square' encourages users to discover a new perspective in curating their surroundings.
Industry Implications

2. Photography Equipment Retail - Retailers specializing in photography equipment can benefit from offering enhanced image quality instant film cameras like the 'Lomo Instant Square'.
3. Creative Arts and Design - Professionals in the creative arts and design industry can leverage the 'Lomo Instant Square' to inspire creative curating and unique perspectives.
