The Lomo LC-A+ (2006) is the Lomography Society's reissue of the Soviet/Russian LC-A — moved to Chinese production after the original LOMO PLC factory in Russia stopped meeting Lomography's quality requirements. Same Minitar-1 32/2.8 four-element glass lens, same programmed exposure, same hard vignetting and saturated color signature. Improvements: wider ISO range (100–1600 vs original 25–400), MX (multi-exposure) switch, cable release thread, and a hot shoe for external flash.

When the original LC-A's Russian production ended in 2005, Lomography negotiated to continue manufacturing under the LOMO licensing agreement, with production shifting to a Chinese partner. The LC-A+ launched 2006 with refinements: ISO range 100–1600 (from the original's 25–400), an explicit MX switch on the back for multi-exposure, and improved electronic reliability. The line continues in production in 2026, alongside the LC-A 120 (medium-format reinterpretation, 2014) and LC-Wide (2009, 17mm wide-angle).
The LC-A+ is what most current Lomography users think of as "the LC-A." Original Soviet LC-As are cult objects; LC-A+ bodies are practical user cameras still in production with warranty and parts availability. The optical signature — vignette, saturation, occasional motion blur from slow shutter speeds — is consistent with the original but produced in higher quantities and with better quality control.
For 2026 buyers, an LC-A+ at $350 new (or $250 used) is the easiest way to get the LC-A look without rolling the dice on a Soviet-era body's reliability.
Lens fixed. Hot shoe. Cable release. Lomography sells the LC-A+ with film bundles, color-flash splitters, and accessory cases.
