Star Filter:For adding an exciting star effect to the bright areas of your photo.
80A Filter: This color conversion filter increases the color temperature and allows you to use daylight film indoors under artificial lighting.
The green filter can help smooth out skin tones in black-and-white photographs and highlight green areas in color images.
A red filter can help you achieve higher-contrast, more dramatic shots.
The ND filter reduces the amount of light hitting the lens, allowing you to balance the exposure.
Story
With these lens filters made of optical glass, you can fine-tune your images or add creative effects. Capture sharp, distortion-free images and adjust the color temperature and look of your shots, or add a creative starburst effect before taking the picture. We recommend using these filters with the Lomo MC-A, but they’re compatible with any other camera that has a 30.5 mm filter thread.
We Are a Movement
Lomography began in Vienna in 1992 as a joyful rebellion. A rebellion against perfectionism, elitism, and the cold precision of traditional photography. Even back then, we celebrated spontaneity, imperfection, and the simple act of seeing. We shot from the hip, welcomed blur and chaos with open arms, and put coincidences and accidents in the spotlight. Photography became a game, a protest, and poetry. Fast-forward to 2025, and our attitude toward photography hasn’t changed—but the world around us certainly has.
These days, photography is everywhere and nowhere. We take more photos in a single day than previous generations did in their entire lives. Photography is in our smartphones, our Stories, and in the endless scrolling through apps. But with this immediacy comes a kind of transience: images made for algorithms and forgotten within hours. Photos, reduced to mere content. Memories, outsourced to the cloud. Lomography has never cared about trends. It wasn’t founded in a boardroom. It emerged from a moment—a collision of accessibility, spontaneity, rebellion, and fun. And we still stand by what brought us here. We’re not anti-digital. We’re pro-reality.
The Lomo MC-A was born out of the desire to create a camera that brings our Lomographers back to what really matters. As a reminder of why you fell in love with photography in the first place. The camera is a call to unplug, to tear yourself away from the glowing rectangles, and to RECLAIM YOUR LIFE. Real life. The kind of life you experience when you take things slowly, feel the weight of your camera in your hand, and create something tangible. When you’re present, instead of scrolling around. Real life has no filters. It isn’t polished. It’s simple, vibrant, and honest.
The 10 Declarations of Lomographic Freedom
In 1992, the Vienna newspaper published “Lomography’s 10 Golden Rules,” intended to capture the spirit of spontaneity, imperfection, and freedom at the heart of Lomography’s analog soul. Two decades later, in 2010, we created 10 predictions for the analog future to reaffirm that an analog future is not just wishful thinking, and set out to reformulate our message.
Today, in 2025, we have created a new perspective—a reminder, an act of resistance. No rules, no predictions, but rather survival strategies for modern Lomographers. Today, we—the followers of Lomography—mischievously, proudly, and joyfully proclaim our independence from perfection, conformity, and digital dominance.
We proclaim:
I. In front of the lens, as behind it, all people are equal.
II. We want to feel first, then photograph.
III. True creativity cannot be copied or reduced to a screen.
IV. We remain analog, even when everything screams for digital.
V. Forget about appearances.
VI. The tangible and the imperfect are our heroes.
VII. Presentation is just a mask; presence is a revolution.
VIII. We want to leave behind scratches, stains, and smudges as proof of our existence.
IX. Meaning survives, even when the rationale fails us.
X. Always be there, and never be afraid to stand out.
