From the ultra-compact pancake design and universal filter thread to the premium Russian optics and beyond, the features and specifications of the Lomo LC-A Minitar-1 Art Lens arrive nearly unparalleled on a broad field of rangefinder lenses.

The days of wasting precious seconds looking through the viewfinder and endlessly adjusting knobs and dials are over. With the quick flick of a switch, you let the Minitar-1 do that for you — just estimate the distance and presto! After a trip around the city, you’ll be fast friends with the Minitar-1 and zone focusing will be your second nature. Additionally, as a rangefinder coupled lens, the Minitar-1 utilizes the Leica M’s rangefinder focus — which means perfectly precise focusing when paired with rangefinder cameras!

The main reason the Minitar-1 yields its supernaturally saturated colors is the complex coating of the lens, which was specifically developed for the Minitar-1. Due to the exceptional construction and calculation of the lens, the Minitar-1 is able to produce its signature rich and supremely saturated colors.
