The '''LOMO Kompact Automat (LC-A)''' was produced by  [[LOMO]] PLC in St. Petersburg, Russia from 1984 until 2005. This compact [[35mm]] film [[viewfinder camera]] was copied from the [[Cosina CX-2]], but lacks its self-timer and swiveling front; and is built with cheaper components. The LC-A used a 3-element '''Minitar''' lens with noticeable [[vignetting]], while the Cosina CX-2 had a 5-element lens.

The LOMO Kompact Automat (LC-A) was produced by LOMO PLC in St. Petersburg, Russia from 1984 until 2005. This compact 35mm film viewfinder camera was copied from the Cosina CX-2, but lacks its self-timer and swiveling front; and is built with cheaper components. The LC-A used a 3-element Minitar lens with noticeable vignetting, while the Cosina CX-2 had a 5-element lens.

The camera was sold with either LOMO, Ломо or ZENIT branding. The latter varient was for export.

It was the LOMO LC-A that sparked the Lomographic Society (LSI).

The LSI have also introduced an ultra wide angled model LC-wide, based on the LC-A+. This features a 17mm ultra wide angle Minigon 1 lens.
