The Lomomatic 110 & Flash Bellagio is a retro-style 110 film camera set from Lomography, part of their Lomomatic 110 series. The Bellagio version stands out with a body made of brass, complemented by a matching metallic wrist strap, giving it a very classic and elegant appearance.
Beyond the material and design, the core functionality is the same as other Lomomatic 110 models—this is a pocket-sized camera that combines portability with creative shooting.
-
Uses 110 Format Film: Shoots with compact 110 film cartridges, producing images with a distinct vintage, grainy aesthetic.
-
High-Quality Glass Lens: Equipped with a 23mm Minitar CX multi-coated glass lens—the same iconic lens found in Lomography's classic LC-A+ camera, delivering exceptionally sharp image quality for this format.
-
Easy Operation: Features a pull-out design—extend the camera to shoot, and collapse it to advance the film. Very intuitive and quick to use.
-
Adjustable ISO Settings: Manually set ISO to 100, 200, or 400 to match different types of 110 film.
-
Two Aperture Modes: Switch between f/2.8 (ideal for low light/indoor shots) and f/5.6 (best for bright daylight/outdoor scenes).
-
Zone Focusing System: Use a slider to choose focus distances: 0.8m, 1.5m, 3m, or infinity—fast and simple.
This camera offers several fun creative features that make photography more experimental:
-
Multiple Exposure Mode (MX): Expose the same frame multiple times, layering different images to create surreal, artistic effects.
-
Bulb Mode (Long Exposure): Supports exposures of up to 30 seconds, perfect for shooting light trails or creative night photography.
-
Flash & Accessories: The set includes a detachable Lomomatic flash (powered by 1 CR2 battery, sold separately) and several color gel filters. You can slide these filters in front of the flash to add colorful lighting effects to your photos.
-
Other Extras: Comes with a brass-colored metal wrist strap, a poster, a booklet, and a metal storage box for keeping your 110 film cartridges organized.
-
Be mindful of parallax error—since the viewfinder and lens are in different positions, you'll need to adjust your composition slightly when shooting close subjects.
-
In low light, consider using the flash or Bulb mode. At slower shutter speeds, pressing the shutter too hard may cause camera shake and blurry images.
-
If you feel resistance when advancing the film, don't force it. Try pulling the camera out to the right first, then pushing it back to the left.
-
This camera packs the classic design of medium-format (120) cameras, advanced glass optics, and playful creative functions into a tiny 110 body. For more details on pricing and availability, you can check Lomography's official website or authorized retailers.
