SPAIN – It’s summertime right now in Spain. Capture the look of summer with the camera with a summer look. Clad in azure maritime stripes and sun-bleached white evocative San Sebastián, the picturesque Basque coastal city that hems the Bay of Biscay. This gorgeous camera is equally at home at the hands of socialites at Saint-Tropez’s Côte d’Azur or in the clutches of hipsters at Santorini’s Aegean coast. The camera even comes with a quirky and cheery orange lens cap. But what makes Lomo’Instant San Sebastián the best camera with which to capture the look and feel of summer isn’t just the look of the camera; it’s the look of the photos it takes.
Lomo, the iconic Russian camera brand, has lent its its name to an entire genre of analog low-fidelity photography that has swept the world and is known globally today as “lomography,” best described by its guiding aesthetic: “Don’t Think, Just Shoot.” Lomography also stands for Lomographic Society International and is a commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, the Austrian distributors and producers of the latest Lomography cameras such as Lomo’Instant San Sebastián.
Only Lomo cameras capture moments with such a unique look and feel, made possible by both its uncomplicated construction and its quirky lenses, flash attachments, and features. At a time when millennials have revived vinyl records and scoot about in vintage-style fixie bikes, the Lomo is the way today’s generation sees the world.
Capabilities
The Lomo’Instant San Sebastián creates instant credit card-sized snapshots with the globally ubiquitous Fuji Instax Mini film that’s proven such a hit with both millennial and lo-fi photography enthusiasts.
It comes with four lenses: the built-in 27mm wide angle lens perfect for interiors, the 170-degree fisheye lens attachment suited for distorted panoramic shots that give you a peephole view of the world, the 35mm-equivalent portrait lens attachment that works well for street photography, and a 10-15cm close-up lens attachment that allows focusing on small close objects.
The Lomo’Instant San Sebastián possesses the largest aperture possible of any instant camera with its f/8 setting, allowing you to take pictures in low light conditions without the use of a flash and to take portraits that dramatically focus on the subject while blurring the background.
The latest from Lomo has not only three modes for its built-in flash, its B Setting also allows you to hold the shutter open for as long as you want for light streaking effects, for capturing starlight. Its unlimited multiple exposures allow for ghostly and motion capturing still photography.
The camera even comes with blue, red, purple, and yellow gel color filters to further expand your creativity and a mirror attachment to take selfies with. The camera also comes with a tripod attachment and a cable release mount.
Seasons come and go, but memories captured on camera stay forever. Enjoy an endless Spanish summer with Lomo’Instant San Sebastián.
