The LomoApparat 21 mm is as the name implies a new wide-angle camera from Lomography. It has been available for pre-order to be shipped in March 2023. But according to the official Lomography website you can now get it delivered before Christmas if you select express shipping.
Lomography, that quirky company that years ago got the notion that they would re-vitalize the interest in analog photography by bringing cheap, but fun cameras to the photography community. Has now released this new wide-angle-shoot-from-the-hip camera.

You can shoot as close as 0.5 m and with the close-up lens attached as close as 0.2 m. There is an MX switch for multiple exposures and Bulb shooting mode for long exposures. The kaleidoscope lens and the Splitzer lens for experiments. The flash filter slider lets you use different color filters for even more effects. The camera also features a standard tripod thread and a detachable metal chain wrist strap.
The camera was tested by Aislinn Chuahiock:
This is a FUN & CAPABLE BASIC CAMERA that’s better built and has a more flexible creative functionality than its contemporaries. I truly believe Lomography put a lot of thought into designing the LomoApparat and its usability.
