Lomo’Instant Automat Playa Jardin

The Lomo’Instant Automat Playa Jardin is an instant camera. It is identical in functionality to the Lomo’Instant Automat cameras from Lomography. However, the body of this edition is in black.

The natural beach Playa Jardin with black sand was designed by the Canarian artist Cesar Manrique and is located on Tenerife. His vision of creating a beautiful coastal landscape has really come true here. The name Playa Jardin (garden beach) stands for the varied environment with plants surrounding the beach.

Films for the Lomo’Instant Automat Playa Jardin

To take pictures, the LomoInstant Automat Playa Jardin requires Instax Mini films. You can easily buy the films today, as they are still produced.

It is the smallest instant format and half the size of the Instax Wide format. The dimensions of an Instax Mini picture are 8.6 x 5.4 cm. The actual image takes up an area of 6.2 x 4.6 cm. The size is roughly equivalent to a credit card.

The instant pictures are stored in a cassette. The cassette with the pictures goes into the camera. Ten pictures can be taken with one cassette. After 10 pictures, the cassette must be removed again. The cost of one picture is about 70 cents.

Shortly after the shutter is released, the Lomo’Instant Automat Playa Jardin ejects the picture. Within a few minutes, as if out of nowhere, the captured image appears. The color images can boast high-contrast and pop colors. If you want, you can decorate the white frame around the picture with pens and stickers.

For some time now, in addition to color film, there has also been Instax Mini Monochrome*, a black-and-white film. There are various special editions of the color film. The Instax Mini format is well suited for a party or a wedding celebration.
