The Lomo'Instant Wide Camera Brings Glorious Instant Film Back

Those out there that miss instant film more than anything else when it comes to photography can rejoice with the Lomo'Instant Wide Camera that'll give you the functionality to use the instantaneous film once again in a new format. While other instant film cameras on the market print smaller sizes that can easily be lost or forgotten about, the Lomo'Instant Wide Camera prints crisp, large shots to produce prints that are larger and more comprehensive than ever.

The discontinuation of the Polaroid instant camera line left many feeling like they lost a major piece of their photography history, but it's clear that with the Lomo'Instant Wide Camera -- that's able to be paired with a lens that's 35mm-equivalent -- that the demand is simply too strong to keep tucked away.
