Lomography’s Limited Edition MC-A Cameras
Lomography has announced two new limited-edition versions of its MC-A 35mm film camera, celebrating the model's first anniversary. The new editions, called Gold Plated and Noir, come with different exterior finishes but retain most of the specs of the original camera, which launched in October 2025. The MC-A is a compact 35mm film camera with a built-in 32mm f/2.8 lens, made up of five glass elements arranged in five groups. The aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/16, while focusing can be handled automatically or manually through zone focusing, with a minimum focusing distance of 40cm. There are also three exposure modes available, fully automatic, aperture priority and manual.
Although the hardware remains largely the same, Lomography has made a few changes based on feedback from photographers over the past year. The updated MC-A models now have easier film loading and can remember certain camera settings after being switched off. The automatic exposure system has also been adjusted to select f/3.5 more frequently, while the small LCD information display now keeps settings visible a little longer when the shutter button is pressed halfway. Other features remain the same, including a built-in Xenon flash, multiple exposure functionality and a tripod mount. The camera runs on a single CR2 battery and still offers manual exposure controls.
The biggest differences are obviously on the outside. The Gold Plated edition comes with an actual gold-plated exterior, combined with brown leather covering. It also includes a glass lens filter set, and Lomography offers a matching leather half-case. The Noir edition, meanwhile, has a more understated look, with textured black leather that has a slightly snakeskin-like pattern. The Noir version costs $599, while the Gold Plated edition is $649. The regular MC-A remains available for $549.
