The LOMO LC-A is a 35mm compact automatic camera manufactured in St. Petersburg from the early 1980s up until production ceased in 2005, to take a well exposed picture all you need to do is press the shutter release and wait for the camera to click twice, the images it takes have a certain dreamlike quality to them, thanks in part to the long shutter times it uses when light levels are low, it can produce extremely long exposures if there is very little light, and it responds instantly to changing light conditions, making it amazing in nightclubs where strobe lights produce spectacular effects.

The lens also contributes to the dreamlike quality of the images produced by the LOMO Kompakt Automat, the lens is a 32mm “Minitar 1″ f/2.8 lens which produces spectacularly colourful and highly saturated images and is a true gem of the lens designers craft.
