The LOMO LC-A (Lomo Kompakt Automat) is a compact camera with a fixed lens, 35 mm film, leaf shutter, and zone focus, introduced in 1984. The design is based on the Cosina CX-2, with the difference that the LC-A does not have a rotating front plate and self-timer. The camera was built in the Soviet era in Leningrad by the Leningrad Optics and Mechanics Association (LOMO).
Production of the camera was halted in 1994. In the mid-1990s, a group of enthusiasts from Vienna convinced LOMO to resume production, which continued until 2005. They founded the Lomographic Society International, which distributed these cameras worldwide.
The successor to the LOMO LC-A, the LC-A+, was introduced in 2006 and production moved to China. The LC-A+ was equipped with the original LC-A Minitar-1 glass lens, which was produced by LOMO in Russia. This changed in 2007 and the lenses of later models were made in China. Some LC-As were sold under the name Zenith, but this label was only a sticker under the lens. Zenit (in some countries Zenith) is a trademark of KMZ (Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works).
The Austrian company Lomography currently offers three versions of the LC-A: the LC-A+ and LC-Wide in 35 mm format and the LC-A 120 in medium format.
Operation
The only automatic function of the LC-A is exposure. Loading, winding, rewinding, and focusing are manual. The aperture can also be set manually, and the shutter speed is fixed at 1/60 s (this option was removed on the LC-A+).
Exposure is fully automatic when the camera is set to "A"; shutter speeds range from 2 minutes to 1/500 s. The aperture range is f/2.8 to f/16. The automatic exposure system compensates changes in lighting after the shutter is opened by increasing or decreasing the shutter speed. This, in combination with the flash synchronization via the rear shutter, results in interesting effects in flash photography in low ambient light.
The lens focuses by selecting one of four zones (0.8 m, 1.5 m, 3 m, or ∞). Older versions of the camera have viewfinder icons indicating the currently selected focus zone, a feature that was omitted in later models.
A battery check function uses an LED in the viewfinder; if there is sufficient power, it lights up when the shutter release is pressed lightly. Another LED in the viewfinder lights up when the chosen shutter speed is lower than 1/30 s.
The size and shape are virtually the same as those of the Cosina CX-2, the main difference being that the lens ring is fixed (as opposed to the rotatable ring of the CX-2). Power is supplied by three 1.5V silver-oxide cells (S76, LR44).
