This time I borrowed the combo package of Lomo 'Instant Wide. So the contents are a camera body, a lens cap with a shutter remote control function, an ultra wide angle attachment lens & view finder, a closeup attachment lens, a Lomo 'Instant Wide Splitzer, a lens cap for accessories, a shooting technical card (English) Instructions etc. Since the film is not included in the set,It must be purchased separately.


The camera body looks something like this.


A close up frame, a flash light, a light sensor, and a flash light sensor are lined up from the left on the front upper part, the shutter button is a black square button under the close-up frame, on the right side is a self- There is a receiver for remote control on the right side of the lens.


The back side looks like the following.


On the back right side are the viewfinder, the remote control receiver, the flash indicator, the flash on / off button, the MX button used for multiple exposure shooting, the exposure selector switch, mode switching from the top. There are three modes: auto shooting mode, bulb shooting mode, and shutter speed fixed mode. You can check the current number of shots from the circular window on the left side of mode switching.


A lock is attached to the top of the backdoor and you can check if the film is loaded from the window next to it.


There is a PC - Sync socket on the left side, you can connect external flash.


right side. You can check the strap holder and the shutter button.


The film is to be discharged from the top surface ... ...


A hole for a tripod on the bottom.


The standard lens attached to the camera is marked with "0.6 m", "1 - 2 m", "inf", and you can respond to near - distance and distant view shooting by feeding out the lens.


This is when the lens is adjusted to 0.6 m.


It is like this if you extend the lens and match it with inf.


Also, one of the unique aspects of Lomo 'Instant Wide is a lens cap with shutter remote control function. There are two types of buttons, "INSTANT" where the shutter is released at the moment the button is pressed, and "TIME" button for long-time exposure shooting.


Battery compartment on the back. Batteries use CR 2032 lithium coin batteries.


Infrared transmitter on side of the cap.


And this is an ultra wide angle attachment lens.


The closeup attachment lens looks like this.


Since the Lomo 'Instant Wide main unit moves with two AA batteries, first put the batteries ......


Switch the mode to other than "OFF".


OK if the flash indicator turns green and the mode indicator upper battery indicator lights blue.


Fujifilm's use of it for shootingChekiCan be used withInstant color film instax WIDEis.


Load the film so that the yellow line of the camera body and the yellow line of the film are the same ... ....


First of all, one piece.


Then, the mechanism that the photograph is ejected from the top of the camera .... Although it is the first sheet of the film, the black sheet is ejected, so you can not take pictures.


The camera body is quite large, and if you look through the viewfinder and face it will be hidden completely. It is difficult to take with one hand like a modern modern day, so take with your hands and shoot.


So, first, I will shoot using the lens cap with remote control function which is one of the points of Lomo'Instant Wide. Set the camera on a tripod ... ...


Hold the lens cap with remote control function in hand.


Then just press the INSTANT button. When taking self-taking at the destination, you have to have an instant camera with one hand, you may not be able to take pictures of yourself, but with Lomo'Instant Wide that can be controlled remotely, it captured the atmosphere of the place easily Whole body pictures can be taken. Also, when you are sharing group photos when you are friends with friends and family, only you will never become out of the way.


A pure white picture is discharged from the top of the camera ... ...


I waited for a while and the photo came up.


The picture taken by saying so is like this. Far from showing the whole body,SkyfishI took it as a cookie.


Small photographs in vertical direction are common when speaking of instant camera, but Lomo 'Instant Wide uses 86 x 108 mm wide film. You can leave memories with a big picture.


In addition, attach a wide angle attachment lens on the standard lens and try to shoot.


When I shoot the landscape like the following with Lomo 'Instant Wide ......


Like this. The one on the left was taken with only the standard lens, the one on the right was taken with a wide angle attachment lens. You can see that the right side has a wide angle.


I tried shooting more. It is taken with a standard lens on the left and a wide angle attachment lens on the right.


This is also taken on the right side with a wide angle attachment lens. By attaching wide angle attachment lens, it is possible to capture more things even in a narrow space.


Next time I attach a close-up / attachment lens and try to shoot.


The subject is rice. The standard lens has the shortest shooting distance of 50 m ... ...


Since close-up attachment lenses have the shortest shooting distance of 10 cm, it is possible to take close-ups to the subject and shoot.


In addition, the instant camera where the position of the viewfinder and the lens are separate is difficult to grasp the positional relationship in close-up shooting, and furthermore the distance feeling of the close-up / attachment lens can not be grasped at the beginning, so it takes a while to shoot However, it is a nice aspect of the instant camera that a failed photograph has a unique atmosphere and is allowed.


Also, if you have an accessory called Lomo 'Instant Wide Splitzer, you can take even more unique pictures.


For example, even if you are shooting flower photos ...


It is possible to make a unique finish like the following.


Lomo 'Instant Wide Splitzer hides a part of the lens, but by combining it with the MX button for multiple exposure shooting it is possible to fit two scenes into one picture.


Since the part where the Lomo 'Instant Wide Splitzer covers the lens can be changed freely, such a feeling will expose only the upper right of the lens in a fan shape ......


You can also expose only the lower right quarter.


Furthermore, putting the color filter in the socket of the flash light part ......


You can shoot a unique multi-exposure photograph with colored.


I thought that "If you divide it into four, you can do 4 frames ...?" ?, I tried and it seems to be difficult as expected, and the spirit photograph has been completed.


Overlaying the night view with multiple exposure exposes a flower picture, which creates a magical atmosphere.


In addition, if the auto shooting mode is chosen, the camera picks the optimum setting for the shooting environment without permission because the camera does not have much pleasure, but in addition, the exposure can be selected from "+1" "0" "- 1" So, you can make your own preference.


Furthermore, if you use the valve mode, you can shoot a long-time exposure photograph. When the main body is set to the valve mode, the shutter remains open while the main unit's shutter button is kept pressed. Also, in case of a lens cap with remote control function, exposure starts when "TIME" is pressed, and exposure is ended by pressing "TIME" once more. If there is a shutter button on the main unit, the camera may move at the moment the button is pressed, but there is no worry because you can use the remote control.


I tried taking a long time exposure shot using an ultra wide angle attachment lens. I can see that the road of light is being created where the car passed.


Also this was taken for a long time. I used a standard lens for the lens.


That is why Lomo 'Instant Wide is an instant camera that makes you use more fun as you use it, while leaving the goodness of the analog, its usability is very good,Depending on the idea it is possible to shoot various pictures. When a light hand touches the shutter button, there was a case that I photographed the photograph with careless timing, but I was a bit relieved but because it is a finished atmosphere, it even finishes an unexpected art picture It seems to change to situation. Of course it is easy to shoot beautiful pictures in a moment if you use a digital camera, but the excitement that you do not know what you can take and the excitement that the pictures will float can not be changed anything, It seems very useful as one of the party goods when you want to take pictures.


In addition, Lomo 'Instant Wide has Black, White, Portobello Road Edition, Central Park Edition, the price of the main body only is 25,800 yen including tax, accessories such as attachment lenses and color filters are included, tax included 30,800 yen . Currently in preorder, release is scheduled for late December 2015 to January 2016.
