Lomography has given its tiny Lomomatic 110 film camera a striking leopard-inspired makeover: the new Panthera features a brass body, black spots and a European price of €189.
A matching gold-coloured metal wrist chain and detachable flash complete the look. Underneath, however, this remains the familiar Lomomatic 110: a reloadable pocket camera for 110 film cartridges with several useful creative controls.
Brass styling, familiar camera
The finish is the main story here. Brass construction, gold tones and black leopard markings replace a more conventional appearance. A sliding mechanism protects the lens when closed, while the wrist chain suits the distinctive design.
This is not a new photographic platform. The Lomomatic 110 Ladybug, introduced in September, shares the same core shooting features in a different outfit. Panthera buyers are choosing the material and appearance rather than a redesigned optical system.
23 mm lens, automatic exposure and creative options
The multi-coated Minitar CX 23 mm glass lens sits at the front. The camera handles exposure automatically, with shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/250 s on the official product page. Day selects f/5.6 and Night f/2.8. Zone focusing offers 0.8 m, 1.5 m, 3 m and infinity settings. There is no autofocus, so judging subject distance matters, particularly close up.
Photographers can choose ISO 100, 200 or 400 and create unlimited multiple exposures on a single frame. Bulb exposures run for up to 30 seconds. The detachable Lomomatic Flash can be switched on manually and used with coloured filters. There is no tripod socket or cable-release connection, which makes carefully controlled long exposures more awkward.
What shooting 110 film involves
A 110 film cartridge uses a much smaller image area than 35 mm film. It allows a genuinely pocketable camera, but the smaller negative also makes grain and scanning quality more apparent. The attraction is the characteristic look, not maximum image detail.
The format was widely popular in the 1970s and Lomography revived 110 film production in 2012. Its range now includes colour negative, black-and-white, redscale and LomoChrome options. It is worth checking whether your local lab can develop and scan 110 cartridges before investing.
Price and availability
The Lomomatic 110 Camera & Flash Panthera is listed in Europe at €189. On 14 October 2026 the official European shop marked it out of stock, so the listed price should not be mistaken for confirmed immediate availability.
The box lists the camera, detachable Lomomatic Flash with coloured filters, brass wrist chain, poster booklet, metal tin for 110 negatives and a short manual. The required CR2 battery is not included, according to the manufacturer’s product information.

What we think
Panthera is a camera bought partly for the pleasure of owning and handling it. The brass construction and leopard design have a strong identity, but they do not change the photograph itself. Owners of another Lomomatic 110 have little photographic reason to replace it purely for this edition.
The more compelling part of the series is the combination of a real glass lens, automatic exposure and the ability to layer images on a tiny negative. That encourages spontaneity and experimentation, provided you actually enjoy the limitations and texture of 110 film rather than expecting digital convenience.
At €189, this is a substantial investment for such a small format once film and processing are taken into account. Whether it makes sense depends on how much you value the material and design of the camera itself. Photographers who simply want to try 110 have good reason to compare the less expensive variants first.
