The Lomo’Instant Wide William Klein is a Special Edition of the Lomography Lomo’Instant Wide. This variant of the instant camera for the Fujifilm Instax Wide format was presented in December 2020.
This edition was created in collaboration with Polka Factory. Polka Factory describes itself as “a hybrid concept store and living space dedicated to photography” and is located in Paris. Together they designed an edition of the instant camera dedicated to the US painter, film director and, most importantly, photographer William Klein. Some of his most famous images were printed on the body of the camera.
The range of functions of the instant camera is identical to that of the other editions. The package includes the camera, three lens attachments with a viewfinder, color filters and a Leporello with pictures of Klein. Instant film for taking pictures is not included in the package. The Instax Wide Film* must be purchased separately. To take pictures you also need four AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*), these are also not in the original package.
