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 based on the Cosina CX-2, but lacks the self-timer and is built with cheaper components. The LC-A used a 3-element lens with noticeable vignetting, while the Cosina CX-2 had a 5-element lens.

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