The Fisheye Baby 110 Metal is a pocket film format camera from Lomography. It was introduced in the summer of 2012. Except for two points, it is identical to the Fisheye Baby 110 Basic.
The biggest advantage of the Metal version is the connection for a flash. It has a PC flash connector to which hot-shoe flashes, such as the Colorsplash Flash or Fritz the Blitz, can be used with the help of a cable. There is also something different in the design. One part of the small camera is made of metal. Otherwise it is identical to the normal fisheye camera for pocket film format.
