In 2011, Lomography presented a series of cameras called La Sardina Metal Editions. These variants of the La Sardina have a metal body that gives each model a unique look. Otherwise, the bodies are made of plastic.
Despite their flashy design, the models correspond in functionality and operation to the other La Sardina cameras.
