Yay or Nay? The Lomo'Instant Automat Glass

[@the.midlifers]

Apologies to our viewers I mispoke! The wireless lens cap shutter button works via infra-red and not bluetooth

[@tresto9514]

I recently got the Lomo'Instant Automat (non-glass version) and I can say that the flash is still absolutely center-weighted, giving u a heavy "vignette" look when using the flash. Still, it is better than the flash on the Lomo'Instant, which has a 27 mm field of view and the flash rarely covered even half of the frame.

Thanks for sharing! my hunch was that they used the same flash in both models without consideration for the lens design

Come on Lomo make a wide glass camera. Fuji has just failed us once again.

[@the.midlifers]

Yea the "upgrades" on the instax wide were disappointing. Its now left to loom as well as MiNT or the instant modders to maintain the wife format

[@torstenohneh1]

The remote control isn’t bluetooth, is it? It is infra red.

[@the.midlifers]

Oh you are right! my mistake, I will pin a comment to clarify this

[@ernestochang1744]

Why have they not made a lomography instant wide with these features already i dont get it both lomography and fujifilm are falling behind on all of their WIDE cameras

[@the.midlifers]

yea the closest is the lomo instant wide. but alas its not a glass lens. but I completely agree that fuji is sleeping on its wide camera line. its such a travesty!

Meh, seems OK for the price. Better off with the Mini Evo.

[@the.midlifers]

Personally, I would rather just get the non-glass variant of this camera. That model seems to be better thought about and fabricated. Of course if you prefer hybrid cameras, then the mini Evo is a fantastic camera too!
