The Lomo’Instant Milano was introduced by Lomography in July 2016. It is a special edition of the Lomo’Instant, the instant camera from Lomography.
The camera is designed in pastel tones. The eye-catcher is a black and white pattern that runs through the camera. It is named after the Italian fashion capital Milan.
The range of features it offers is no different from the other editions that are currently available for purchase. For instance, it offers the possibility for multiple exposures and optics replacement. There is also a small game on the front of the Lomo’Instant Milano for selfies.
The instant camera requires the Fujifilm Instax Mini instant film and produces images the size of a credit card. The film for color pictures is the Instax Mini Film*. The film is not included in the package.
Included with the Lomo’Instant Milano are, among other things, the camera, three lenses, color filters for the flash, and instructions. In terms of price, the set is around 119 euros, as of July 2016.
In addition to the Lomo’Instant Milano, there are other Special Editions of the instant camera, such as the Lomo’Instant Sanremo, Honolulu, Montenegro, Boston, Kyoto, Havana, Marrakesh and Reykjavik.
