Different lomo cameras can bring completely different special effects on films.

It was considered as compact camera with fixed lens, 35mm film, leaf shutter and zone focus.The specialty of LC-A+ is to take photos with radiant color and shadowy vignette corners. However, nowadays as the development of lomography, the increasingly number of various LC-A+ camera with special functions are produced for particular requirement. i will provide most prevalent LC-A+ cameras in following paragrahs with brief features and effect pictures.
