The Lomo'Instant Automat el Nil instant camera was launched on the market by Lomography in March 2024. This camera represents a variant of the well-known Lomo'Instant Automat series. Together with the Lomo'Instant Wide el Nil, it is part of the Lomography Travel Collection.
The range of functions is similar to the normal Lomo'Instant Automat. The only difference is the exterior. The housing is kept in a cream-coloured tone. A postcard design is printed on the front and back. The postcard is made to look old and shows the Nile with the pyramids during sunset.
Features of the instant camera
The Lomo'Instant Automat provides a creative and fun photography experience for photography enthusiasts of all experience levels.
It offers an automatic exposure setting, a bulb mode for long exposures, the possibility of multiple exposures and zone focus, which opens up a wide range of creative possibilities.
Additional functions such as a remote shutter release, an integrated flash and interchangeable lenses as well as various colour filters offer further creative options.
Film options for the Lomo'Instant Automat el Nil

As soon as an image is exposed, the camera outputs it and the photo is developed within minutes. The colour films (Instax Mini Film*) impress with their image quality. The white edges of the pictures can be customised with pens and stickers.
