I'm gonna be honest I literally bought my first film camera last week and found out about this company last night, and have just hit the top of my list for favorite companies in general. I enjoy a company that at least looks like the people are doing what they love more than what makes money. I just ordered a couple rolls of purple for a 110 camera I ordered last night.
This is why Lomography is a great company- they play to tiny niches and say "Why not?". Most of their ideas would not pass the muster of the modern company that is just bottom line driven. They are a breath of fresh air! Thank you always, Ben, for your incredible contribution to analog photography!
This is very true my man! I absolutely didn't see this product coming, especially with the level of quality that has gone into it - makes no sense but I love it!
A little fact: 110 format is exactly the same size as Micro Four Thirds and Panasonic was making 110 cameras under the National brand 20 to 30 years before its first MFT camera. So the first Panasonic lens that would cover a MFT sensor was on a National 110 camera. Another fun fact - National 110 cameras had a standout feature. They had a built-in radio, so you could take it to the beach and have both photos and music. How fun is that!
2024: The revenge of miniature formats... Damn! I knew half frame has been succesful due to the Cost and new half frames. Pentax comes with Half frame and lomo releases this! Had some Kodak 110 from my uncle that broke and I could not find film for it (2010), this one looks quite similar albeit not a drab 1982 brown scheme, but this Lomo has quite a groovy color finish Been a long time m43 user, which is nice. On film I am 120 however. Great video!
@@wotajared There was about two years in which 110 film wasn’t being made, although smaller stores with slow sales in country towns probably had old stock through most of that time. However, we have to thank Lomography for listening to the cries of 110 users and bringing the film back.
@@InAnInstant Those Pentax 110 lens can cover even APS-C sensors! I have 3 of them: 18, 24, 50mm. I often use them with my Sony A5100, as this combo is a very small set, I like using htem when on a holiday, or for street photograpy (the 24mm lens is excellent for this as it gives a 36mm FF equivalent view angle). The corners are little soft and vignetted (giving a good retro look), but the rest of it is much sharper than the E PZ 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens.
This video alone has me ordering film from Lomo for my 110. Found a mint Fisher Price 110 camera last year and It needs to be used. Great video per usual!!
I got a Kodak 110 camera back in 1972 for Christmas when I was in my early teens. I took that thing everywhere - and yes, the spy camera aesthetic was not lost on me! Thanks for this, it really takes me back. :)
Being around this camera convinced me that I needed a Pentax Auto 110. Not because this is bad, but because it made me realise that 110 is awesome, and the idea of a pocket SLR tickled my fancy. Don't ask me how, but when I heard there was finally going to be another glass-lensed Lomo camera I was already overjoyed, the fact that it ended up being this little gem that looks like a walkman from an alternate universe is just incredibly neat
Remember the TV series “The Night Stalker” starring Darren McGavin? The journalist Kolchak used a 110 camera to photograph monsters etc but in the darkroon would enlarge the photo to poster size in perfect detail.
that lens is insanely sharp! I'm so excited to try it out at some point! also I have one of those Etsy 3D printed spools and loading 110 is surprisingly very easy.
Man there is something so utterly nostalgic about 110 cameras for me. One of the only memories i have from the first time i went to disney world was the little blue 110 camera my dad bought me right before the electric light parade. It was one of the ones that had the flash bulb bar that you had to flip mid way thru to keep shooting. Im sure the photos are gone to the sands of time now, along with the camera itself that im not sure even made it back from the trip. I was like 6 and have awful ADHD so i probably lost it some where in the park. Man this video might have just cost me 120 bucks lol.
I love shooting 110, the cameras are so simple and it's very freeing to just point and shoot with a little camera. Some of my favorite shots I've ever taken were on some 20 year expired 110 Kodak gold that I brought to my friends' wedding. My local camera store just started carrying some of lomo's weirder film stocks in 110 and I'm very excited to see how lomo purple looks in the format!
It does seem to illicit a different kind of energy. I found myself loving some pictures that I feel only really "came about" because of how simple, little, and quirky the thing is. More often than not a photo favorite is irrespective of format! Hope you get to try some of those Lomo stocks! It's purple time
Ha!!! Cooooool!!! As a kid in the 70s, I had a few of the Kodak 110 cameras!! I have a couple I still am using now!! This one is pretty 😍 cute!! I love Lomo! 💘
Nice! I didn’t know Lomography makes 110 film again! Now I can use my old Pentax 110 with my cute 110 lenses (that I adapted to the m43 system). I love it! Thanks Lomography!❤
BRUH I just finished fixing a few Minolta16QT cameras, this is very cool love to see that I'm not the only one who is in love with that design. Currently obsessed with the teeny tiny baby spy camera that I comically pull from my mini pocket on my jeans that normally holds coins and guitar pics
Lovely video, so clear yet comical as always. It was awesome seeing photos of the crew from our day trip visit! This things awesome, I want one so bad!
10:51 I know it doubles the work, but I have found that prints yield higher quality images on 110. You just have to scan the good ones to share digitally. The fine folks at Blue Moon Camera and Machine in Portland taught me that❤
Weirdly, seeing this review might just see me shooting film again. I love it when technologies that were innovative and popular (even I had a 110 camera) get to have a come back.
cheers from France ! Thanks for your video, it was very instructive and pleasant to watch. I went to Paris this week-end and tried for the first time an 110 film (the lomography's purple one) in the sunny's streets, hoping it give good pictures !
I am so jazzed top learn about this camera. I own a Pentax auto 110, minolta 110 SLR, and a Rollei 110, but I have to get this eventually! I love 110. I develop Orca at home with D-76 and it holds up well through the great glass on the Pentax. Its a bit of a pain but don't fear spooling it Ben! Its finky, but very doable.
"With the average consumer becoming less good at stuff" - I can't (and feel this so much)!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for another gem of a video, and happy 4th anniversary! 💥
My maternal grandparents used to have one of these Kodak Cameras. They were really useful due to its pocketability as Ben said. I think I will ask my grandma if she still has that camera.
110 is very mysterious to me because I grew up with 35mm in dozens of cameras (even APS, which at the time I liked because I was a teenager but looking back, it was a pretty garbage downgrade), polaroid and even shot 120 during my bohemian art college days. However I've never used 110 because even though 99% of my family photos from the 70s were on 110; in England during the 80s, 35mm absolutely destroyed 110 film and it has no real nostalgic footprint here. So to me, 110 has always been that film that my mother and father's childhood was printed on, but once I was born, I was bred as a 35mm baby. Very excited to try this out when I next go on a trip.
As always... great review. Did not know they were making 110 again. I have a nice little 110 camera buried somewhere, Minolta I think (with macro if I remember correctly, will be turning over a few boxes tonight) Cheers!
What’s really mind blowing is you might say 35mm was actually the first crop sensor considering what people were shooting prior 😳😳😳 but more to your point I recently saw some folks adapting Pentax 110 lenses to the GH6, outrageous but I must try it

I’ve shot with multiple 110 cameras the past few years Some Minoltas , some Kodak’s Even the weathermatic A I used underwater at a trip to the springs Love lomography for doing what they do Most likely gonna scoop one of these up for sure
I think once my motorized 35 mm film camerasloading was no longer an issue and that doomed the 110 camera. My one gripe with the 35 mm point and shoot is that we wanted them so compact with the flash ended up way too close to the lens causing red eye and then they decided to just come out with the pre flash to compensate for which is kind of irritating in certain situations. I'm a fan of all the different brick-shaped 110 cameras that have a built-in flash at a reasonable distance from the lens.
I love 110 cameras, and I love that Lomography has now brought out a camera that is not just a toy. The ISO selection switch is perfect but would have liked the ability to push to higher ISO's. 110 is the exact same size as MFT, so 2x crop. It means the 23mm lens is a 46mm equivalent. I wish they would bring Peacock film back for 110. I liked that film, although my favorites are Orca, and Metropolis. For some strange reason Metropolis colors are better on 110 format than on larger formats. I guess the grittiness of the film just suits the naturally gritty 110 format. I need to try '92 on 110. I have a feeling it will be well suited to the smaller format too. Some people complain about the small negative. I love it because it makes the cameras genuinely pocketable. I also like exploring the creative potential of film grain. It has a quality all of its own.
The last film camera I purchased was a Kodak 110 from a thrift store for $1. I only used it once, and stopped after it was hard to find somewhere to print the pictures. The pictures were good though.
Great to see any new film camera being made and sold these days even in the tiny 110 format. It does look like a well made and thought out camera for that format and I hope it’s a success for Lomo. Not sure myself who this camera is marketed for as there must be millions of old 110 cameras out there going for next to $0. That said I have a Rollie 110 stored away so I might try out their 110 film and transport myself back in time! If I can get a battery for it.
Been getting the lomo emails about this and been tempted. My local lab has also started showing 110 services. $34 though! There are some places I can ship for 15
11:40 The Jobo 1502 reel for 16mm and 110 developing with their 1500 series of tanks is available new. I feel like threading the film with a reel like that might be easier than the stainless steel ones.
Omg that’s probably the film that i saw last year when i looked at my dads family photo album, it was the smallest film that i ever saw i thought it was phase out already
Awesome. Now they just need to bring back the disc camera. Wait, not that, never that. But seriously, I aways enjoyed having a 110 or 126 camera handy for quick shots back in the day. This should help scratch that nostalgia itch. Sure I’ll be picking one up!
I use lomography's tiger 110 film in my Pentax auto 110 and I was absolutely shocked with the photo quality when I got the prints back! For such a tiny camera, it takes really clear and colorful photos! I'd honestly say it's a little better than my smartphone camera
My very first camera was a Vivitar that used 110 film. I only remember that it had a toggle switch for a telephoto mode and it took awful pictures in just about every situation 🤣Knowing what I know about photography now, I'm certain that it was fixed focus, fixed exposure. So it was okay for shooting in daylight as long as the subject wasn't moving.

Great video! Who's that at 5:54? She's stunning. Oh wait that's ME!
This is all very exciting! I'll definitely be getting a Lomomatic (and this video is very entertaining)...but I really want to know what that bright blue and yellow camera is on the right of the screen there is! 👀👀👀
Heck yeah, and thank you! That beautiful little camera on the right is the Diana CMYK edition, a medium format camera. That edition is still in stock on Lomo’s site!
I can remember opening the 110 canisters and processing the exposed film. in 1982, all amateur darkroom, all B&W, freezing time with chemicals has an undeniably different feel than CCD. then i think of the photographers who used silver nitrate and the such.
The store around the corner has a bunch of 110 cameras for 15 dollars this may might me buy one. This was the first camera my mom bought me for 6 grade graduation
The Lolomatic 110 is designed after the design classic Agfa Agfamatic 2000 series, with there famous 'ritsh-ratsh' mechanism, hence the sound it does. You can get a Agfamatic in good conditions for 5-15€, and it's supirior quality. The Agfa films are called Agfacolor 110.
Feels great to me, I’ve been using the LC-A zone tabs for a while and it’s very similar without the glide between stops. Very firm and doesn’t seem at risk.
@@InAnInstant fantastic! I was worried when I saw a couple videos where people seemed to struggle a bit pushing it from one zone to another. With a minitar lens, does it vignette like the lc-a+?
@Ces1um yeah I’ve had no issues like that, and I haven’t noticed a ton of vignetting, I think the image circle has very clean coverage on the tiny 110 frame
Love this but am worried about the film advance glitches. I've had three Rollei A110s, and only one remains working. The other two started developing film advance glitches which eventually resulted in film advance failure.
Loading small film on a spool ain't so bad. The film being narrow, it's also more rigid than 35mm so it loads quite well if you notch the corners. I've loaded Minox film on a 3D printed spool before and it's pretty easy.
Oh man I had a tiny camera that used this film when I was younger. Only ever used the one roll it came with and my 7 year old self was a crap photographer.
Fun fact: “35mm” format was designated “135” format by Kodak. So yea, the format numbers don’t equate to film size! My first camera was a Vivitar 110 with integral flash,
@inaninstant, you mentioned being nervous about trying to load a 110 developing reel for home development. Give my reel (shown in your 11:40 screenshot) a try and see just how easy it is! I think you'll be pretty freaking surprised
@InAnInstant Film advance problems: So my camera arrived the other day and I've noticed the same film loading glitch you mentioned in the review. It's hard to get it to catch when you've first put the cartridge in and you're trying to advance to the first frame. Also, I'm noticing that after taking a photo sometimes the camera won't close entirely. It will close most of the way-but maybe the last 2 mm will not. Opening it back up and then closing a second time will allow it to fully close. I've heard some complaints about dropped/unexposed photos. I'm concerned that the film advance problem and the shutter not opening may be somehow related. If so, my first 4-5 photos taken may be unexposed. Time will tell once I finish shooting this cartridge and get it developed. Did you have any/many unexposed shots out of the 24 frames?
The camera should not close after the shot. You have exposed the frame, rewinded the film with a "pump" motion, and you will feel some resistance when the next frame is there. Now you should open the camera back and after that you can close it completely. It's written in the camera manual, but it's not very clear. About an unexposed frames. I got my 3 rolls back from the lab yesterday. The number of exposed frames per film: 14/24, 14/24, 15/24. It winds properly, but the shutter doesn't release for almost half the frames. It's definitely a problem with the shutter button design. I've sent a letter to Lomography, I'll see what they say.
@@Spmart5 that many unexposed frames? Thats pretty awful. I’m concerned mine will function similarly. I’ve seen online that people hear two clicks when they push the shutter. I have only ever heard one.
@@Spmart5have you heard anything back from lomography about your unexposed frames? Most cameras you can open the back, put it on bulb mode and then push the shutter button and the shutter should be visibly open. Mine does not appear to open. I cannot see any mechanism inside where the film pushes on anything or the door latch “tells” the camera that there is film in there and it can now fire the shutter when pressed but disables the shutter if the door is open. I have a roll in for development now but I’m quite concerned this camera is a dud.
Oh man, I totally want one, but I can't justify (to my fiancee at least) the overall price per picture. I just found this video randomly and subscribed. Is there any other formats still alive that have a camera this cool and user friendly? Gonna be hard to beat that orange though. Creamsicle inspired, totally feels like youth.
Glad you found this channel! I’d say overall the coolest looking cameras being made are by Lomo, so maybe check out their other offerings, some great stuff for instant, 120, and 35!
Lomography has quickly become my favorite company for film photography
Nobody does it like Lomo!
I adore Lomo 800 but holy hell that price tag for 35mm...

I wish they would bring Peacock film back for 110. I liked that film, although my favorites are Orca, and Metropolis. For some strange reason Metropolis colors are better on 110 format than on larger formats. I guess the grittiness of the film just suits the naturally gritty 110 format. I need to try '92 on 110. I have a feeling it will be well suited to the smaller format too.
Some people complain about the small negative. I love it because it makes the cameras genuinely pocketable. I also like exploring the creative potential of film grain. It has a quality all of its own.
It's been an incredible year already for photography gear omg
fr fr!!
The last film camera I purchased was a Kodak 110 from a thrift store for $1. I only used it once, and stopped after it was hard to find somewhere to print the pictures. The pictures were good though.
Great to see any new film camera being made and sold these days even in the tiny 110 format. It does look like a well made and thought out camera for that format and I hope it’s a success for Lomo. Not sure myself who this camera is marketed for as there must be millions of old 110 cameras out there going for next to $0. That said I have a Rollie 110 stored away so I might try out their 110 film and transport myself back in time! If I can get a battery for it.
Time to use my AGFA optima 5000, bought it in Romania for about 3€ with flash and transport case !
4 More Years!
Been getting the lomo emails about this and been tempted. My local lab has also started showing 110 services. $34 though! There are some places I can ship for 15
this one looks so nice I kinda want one and I never wanted a 110 before
I love the Orange and Cream colourway, reminds me of my old TEAC MP3 player
I truly love Lomography
11:40 The Jobo 1502 reel for 16mm and 110 developing with their 1500 series of tanks is available new. I feel like threading the film with a reel like that might be easier than the stainless steel ones.
Yeah that’s for sure (a Jobo reel is pictured there a few seconds later). The Jobo 110 reels look pretty sweet, still scary asf tho to load
@@InAnInstant I make the reel you have at 11:40 and I promise, loading it is an absolute breeze. Your worries are totally in vain my good man!
Omg that’s probably the film that i saw last year when i looked at my dads family photo album, it was the smallest film that i ever saw i thought it was phase out already
Lomography's next step is to resurrect 126 film.
Not sure why they haven’t if they can do 110
I've totally experienced the advancing glitch. At first I thought it was just me accidentally messing with the mx slider, but it's def glitchy.
Oooh! I do remember now using 110 in the 1990s 😮
Awesome. Now they just need to bring back the disc camera. Wait, not that, never that. But seriously, I aways enjoyed having a 110 or 126 camera handy for quick shots back in the day. This should help scratch that nostalgia itch. Sure I’ll be picking one up!
I use lomography's tiger 110 film in my Pentax auto 110 and I was absolutely shocked with the photo quality when I got the prints back!
For such a tiny camera, it takes really clear and colorful photos!
I'd honestly say it's a little better than my smartphone camera
If only the iPhone could shoot 2mm film 😭
@@InAnInstant What about a smartphone case that was a 110 camera?
So you can take film photos without having to take separate devices?
Love this new doinker! Not a bad way to go for those who need to carry a film camera in pocket.
Is that a Lomomatic 110 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Hahahahaha!
My very first camera was a Vivitar that used 110 film. I only remember that it had a toggle switch for a telephoto mode and it took awful pictures in just about every situation 🤣Knowing what I know about photography now, I'm certain that it was fixed focus, fixed exposure. So it was okay for shooting in daylight as long as the subject wasn't moving.
Great video! Who's that at 5:54? She's stunning. Oh wait that's ME!
EVERYONE’S BEEN SAYING IT
This is all very exciting! I'll definitely be getting a Lomomatic (and this video is very entertaining)...but I really want to know what that bright blue and yellow camera is on the right of the screen there is! 👀👀👀
Heck yeah, and thank you! That beautiful little camera on the right is the Diana CMYK edition, a medium format camera. That edition is still in stock on Lomo’s site!
@@InAnInstant I found it! I'm so getting this one and the Diana! Thank you for the reply! I really do love the work you put into your content! 🤩💖
Appreciate you SG!
Great video! Learned some things.
Appreciate you Phil!
I can remember opening the 110 canisters and processing the exposed film. in 1982, all amateur darkroom, all B&W, freezing time with chemicals has an undeniably different feel than CCD. then i think of the photographers who used silver nitrate and the such.
A cell phone mount for a tripod would work well enough for bulb mode I think. Love seeing Lomo put R&D (and style) into this format.
Good call, might have to be too narrow of a mount though, but I’m sure even a microphone mount would work
the cuteness aggression for a camera was unexpected LOL xD
Cute aggression is massive with 110 products, I am fully cute enraged by them
😂💯✨@@InAnInstant
There was once upon a time another film called 110, and it was 110
This will pair nicely with my Minolta 110 Zoom SLR II… I want one 😊
I need that fisheye 110 camera and also to try my Pentax 110 camera lenses on a MFT camera body
The store around the corner has a bunch of 110 cameras for 15 dollars this may might me buy one. This was the first camera my mom bought me for 6 grade graduation
thank you, sir
Thank YOU
The Lolomatic 110 is designed after the design classic Agfa Agfamatic 2000 series, with there famous 'ritsh-ratsh' mechanism, hence the sound it does. You can get a Agfamatic in good conditions for 5-15€, and it's supirior quality. The Agfa films are called Agfacolor 110.
loved my 110
110 was my introduction into film when I was 9 yrs old I'm now 40 and getting back into film
Great video
How does the zone focusing tab feel? Does it seem robust or does it feel like a plastic piece that might break off?
Feels great to me, I’ve been using the LC-A zone tabs for a while and it’s very similar without the glide between stops. Very firm and doesn’t seem at risk.
@@InAnInstant fantastic! I was worried when I saw a couple videos where people seemed to struggle a bit pushing it from one zone to another. With a minitar lens, does it vignette like the lc-a+?
@Ces1um yeah I’ve had no issues like that, and I haven’t noticed a ton of vignetting, I think the image circle has very clean coverage on the tiny 110 frame
Love this but am worried about the film advance glitches. I've had three Rollei A110s, and only one remains working. The other two started developing film advance glitches which eventually resulted in film advance failure.
Love the camera but love the ball cap even more! Toronto born and raised 😉
Let’s go baby!! Purchased in Buffalo at the New Era HQ, close enough 🇨🇦
@@InAnInstant I'm in and out of Buffalo when I visit Niagara Falls...definitely close enough lol
Loading small film on a spool ain't so bad. The film being narrow, it's also more rigid than 35mm so it loads quite well if you notch the corners. I've loaded Minox film on a 3D printed spool before and it's pretty easy.
Yep totally easy!
Oh man I had a tiny camera that used this film when I was younger. Only ever used the one roll it came with and my 7 year old self was a crap photographer.
I always liked the 110 body style
BEST BRANDED CAMERAS EVER.. MOM, DAD, Disney, barby, GI joe (bro yahh booy) , pro camera! Dic tracy. Omg 007 bond lolz
Fun fact: “35mm” format was designated “135” format by Kodak. So yea, the format numbers don’t equate to film size!
My first camera was a Vivitar 110 with integral flash,
Joe, the legend!
I dont need another camera.
I dont need another camera.
I NEED ANOTHER CAMERA!
the natural evolution of man
@inaninstant, you mentioned being nervous about trying to load a 110 developing reel for home development. Give my reel (shown in your 11:40 screenshot) a try and see just how easy it is! I think you'll be pretty freaking surprised
I will give it a shot! Where can folks grab one?
@@InAnInstant my comments keep on getting scrubbed. Is there a way to message you privately?
@InAnInstant Film advance problems: So my camera arrived the other day and I've noticed the same film loading glitch you mentioned in the review. It's hard to get it to catch when you've first put the cartridge in and you're trying to advance to the first frame. Also, I'm noticing that after taking a photo sometimes the camera won't close entirely. It will close most of the way-but maybe the last 2 mm will not. Opening it back up and then closing a second time will allow it to fully close. I've heard some complaints about dropped/unexposed photos. I'm concerned that the film advance problem and the shutter not opening may be somehow related. If so, my first 4-5 photos taken may be unexposed. Time will tell once I finish shooting this cartridge and get it developed. Did you have any/many unexposed shots out of the 24 frames?
In fact, I had 24 frames per cartridge, though a couple of unintentional double exposures!
The camera should not close after the shot. You have exposed the frame, rewinded the film with a "pump" motion, and you will feel some resistance when the next frame is there. Now you should open the camera back and after that you can close it completely. It's written in the camera manual, but it's not very clear.
About an unexposed frames. I got my 3 rolls back from the lab yesterday. The number of exposed frames per film: 14/24, 14/24, 15/24. It winds properly, but the shutter doesn't release for almost half the frames. It's definitely a problem with the shutter button design. I've sent a letter to Lomography, I'll see what they say.
@@Spmart5 that many unexposed frames? Thats pretty awful. I’m concerned mine will function similarly. I’ve seen online that people hear two clicks when they push the shutter. I have only ever heard one.
@@Spmart5have you heard anything back from lomography about your unexposed frames? Most cameras you can open the back, put it on bulb mode and then push the shutter button and the shutter should be visibly open. Mine does not appear to open. I cannot see any mechanism inside where the film pushes on anything or the door latch “tells” the camera that there is film in there and it can now fire the shutter when pressed but disables the shutter if the door is open. I have a roll in for development now but I’m quite concerned this camera is a dud.
“Storing teeth” caught me off guard 😂
Gotta puttem somewhere 🤷🏻♂️
From what I've heard, loading the film onto 3d printed reels is actually extremely easy as there's so little friction, you can just slide it in.
The Goo Goo Dolls insisted “why don’t you slide” and I am now going to attempt to
I shoot 16mm with my GaMi16 and it's not terrible spooling up that small of film. Just gotta be really delicate and focused.
Oh man, I totally want one, but I can't justify (to my fiancee at least) the overall price per picture. I just found this video randomly and subscribed. Is there any other formats still alive that have a camera this cool and user friendly? Gonna be hard to beat that orange though. Creamsicle inspired, totally feels like youth.
Glad you found this channel! I’d say overall the coolest looking cameras being made are by Lomo, so maybe check out their other offerings, some great stuff for instant, 120, and 35!
Adorable camera. I’m giving my Rollei 110 some months of rest.
Any chance we can get a review of the Lomo'Instant Automat? I'm really interested to see what it can do with its glass lens.
I’m definitely interested! Haven’t ever bought one though
