Lomography today introduced a camera for 110 film, the Fisheye Baby 110.
Lomography today introduced a new camera. As had been foreshadowed in recent days, including the introduction of the Lomography B&W Orca black and white film, it is a camera for pocket film.
The Fisheye Baby 110 is a shrunk version of the Fisheye No. 2. Thanks to the small film format, the camera is also very small: 68.5x70x51mm (with storage back), 80x73x51mm (with film back). Not only is it very similar in design to the 35mm camera, but like its big sister, it also has a fisheye lens with a 170-degree angle of view.
Despite its size, it features a Bulb mode and the ability for multiple exposures; simply press the shutter button multiple times. The normal shutter speed is 1/100 s and the aperture is fixed at f/8. A switch on the front of the camera allows changing the shutter speed. The typical Fisheye viewfinder is also present and fixed. However, it does not have a hot shoe flash connection. With a PC Flash adapter, a flash can still be used, but only in the Metal version. The focus, as with all Lomography Fisheyes, is fixed and cannot be changed.
Lomography offers two versions of the pocket film camera: the Basic version and the Metal version.
The Basic version costs 35 euros in Lomography's online shop.
The Metal version with flash connection and metal front is available for 49 euros.
At launch, there is only a limited number from the first production run.

So far, the supply of fresh films is very small. Currently, there is only the Lomography B&W Orca 100 110, a black and white film for the small format. Whether Lomography will also release a color film is still unclear. It is likely that there will be more 110 cameras. Let's see what else comes in the next weeks and months.
