The Lomo’Instant Explorer is a special edition of the Lomo’Instant. It was introduced in September 2018.
The design of the camera was created by illustrator KristopherH. He designed the camera on the occasion of the “Lomography x Fashion Walk: Be An Explorer”, which took place in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong.
The blue and white design is said to be reminiscent of fine china painting and shows a surreal city with Ferris wheel, hot air balloon and more.
The function of the Lomo’Instant Explorer are identical to those of the other editions. The scope of delivery of the instant camera differs partially, so the camera is also available with three interchangeable lenses.
The Lomo’Instant is a camera that is known for its creative features. Besides the built-in flash, it also has the ability to take multiple exposures, which allows you to create unique effects.
The Bulb mode is especially handy when you need long exposures, for example, to take night shots. Another useful feature of the camera is the small mirror on the front of the body, which is perfect for selfies.
With the Lomo’Instant, you have the opportunity to photograph the world in an unconventional way and create unique memories.
To take pictures you need four AAA batteries (eBay / Amazon*), these provide power for the flash and film transport. You also need Fujifilm’s Instax Mini instant film (eBay / Amazon*). There are ten pictures in a film cassette, which are about the size of a business card.
In addition to the Lomo’Instant Explorer, there are many other Special Editions of the instant camera, such as the Lomo’Instant Sanremo, Honolulu, Montenegro, Boston, Kyoto, Havana, Lake Tahoe, Marrakesh, Milano, Mumbai, Murano, Panama, Yangon, Oxford and Reykjavik.
