I absolutely do not regret buying my lc-a+ and recommend it to anyone wanting to try shooting a film camera. It goes with me everywhere and I take pictures of whatever catches my eye (it's a good idea to load up on cheap bulk film for this reason!). I've never been much for photography, but that's changed since purchasing the lc-a. I honestly find myself more aware of my surroundings, even when I don't have my camera with me. Some features not to be ignored: long exposures, multiple exposures, rear curtain flash (hotshoe!).

If you haven't had fun with film lately, pick one of these up and go out and start shooting. It takes any speed of film (up to 1600) and does a fantastic job of auto exposing it. Even if it's pitch black outside and snowing, as long as you have a tripod, just press that button down, and when it finally goes "click" you'll have a perfectly exposed shot. The zone focusing system takes a little getting used to, espically for us Yanks, since it's in meters, but just put a little piece of tape over it with the imperial equivalent, and you're golden.

I purchased this camera in July of 2008 after a long bout of curiosity. I had used several other small, plastic cameras in my lifetime but never the "vaunted" LOMO L-CA+. Well, now I wish I never had. I shot two rolls of Fuji Velvia with this camera and 95% of the shots looked totally unexposed (not underexposed but literally unexposed.)
I really do not know what happened. The film was from a box of 20 that I had used successfully with other cameras for months. The film was also developed at the same pro lab here in NYC that successfully processed hundreds of rolls before these two with no hiccups. I set the correct ISO, confirmed that the batteries worked, and listened to the shutter actuations as I used the camera -- short and crisp in daylight, longer indoors, etc. I also confirmed that the film was advancing fine. If photons managed to penetrate the lens of this camera, the film itself sure didn't catch many of them.
Because I did not use the camera until several weeks after it arrived and then waited another week to take the rolls down to my lab, I am now outside of Amazon's 30-day return window. Goodbye $285!

Great fun, if you are looking at this camera then you probably already know what to expect from it. I researched a lot before I picked it up...considering the price I wanted to make sure it was what I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn't find many user reviews about it. Now I think I know why, there is nothing I can review really that you don't already know about the camera from just a little bit of research....because it's just a simple little film camera.
I tried a LOT of different digital cameras after getting into photography a few years ago, DLSRs, compact digitals like the Canon G9....not what I wanted. Now I can just load some film and shoot. This camera has put the fun back in photography....and winding your film between each shot and loading/unloading the film is just cool. I don't miss digital one bit and doubt I'll ever go back. This camera is just too much fun. It's small and light, and produces images that no other camera can come close to.
I highly recommend trying it out, even at this price...
