The Lomography LC-Wide (2009–present) is an evolution of the classic LC-A compact, replacing the 32mm Minitar lens with a new 17mm f/4.5 Minigon ultra-wide. The focal length — equivalent to roughly 11mm in full-frame terms — produces dramatic foreground-to-infinity depth of field, strong barrel distortion at the edges, and the light-falloff vignetting characteristic of the LC-A family.

About this camera
The widest compact 35mm camera in regular production. The LC-Wide pairs an ultra-wide 17mm Minigon lens with a multi-format back — full-frame 24×36mm, half-frame 17×24mm, or square 24×24mm — making it the most format-flexible plastic camera ever sold.

Lomography launched the LC-Wide in 2009 as part of an expansion of the LC-A platform beyond its Soviet-derived 32mm standard. The Minigon 17mm lens was designed in collaboration with Zenit/Vebur optical engineering partners. The three-format capability was a genuine innovation: no previous mass-market compact had offered in-camera format switching between 35mm full-frame and half-frame.
The LC-Wide arrived after the digital point-and-shoot market had collapsed the low-end film compact segment, so it sold primarily through Lomography's own retail and online channels as a premium novelty product. It remains in the current Lomography catalogue.
17mm on a compact 35mm body is genuinely unusual. Most dedicated ultra-wide photography requires an SLR or rangefinder with an accessory lens — the LC-Wide puts that angle of view in a shirt-pocket camera. The multi-format back transforms a single roll of film into an experiment: half-frame yields double the shots with a portrait-orientation default, while square format suits social-media composition.
For travel and street photography where carrying a heavy wide-angle kit is impractical, the LC-Wide occupies a real niche.
Fixed Minigon 17mm f/4.5 lens, non-interchangeable. Filter thread: 37mm. Compatible accessories from Lomography include close-up lens, colored flash gels, and the standard Lomography flash units. Multi-format back built in — no conversion kit needed.
