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.
