The Lomolitos was sold by Lomography primarily as a single use/disposable 35mm film camera. But the Camera is designed to be reloaded if wanted. It was sold from 2005 until the end of that decade. Lomography would later produce the Lomography Simple Use which is similar concept. Camera specifications are not given in the manual but it has a fixed focus simple plastic lens with a single aperture and shutter speed. There is a curved film plane. The built in manually triggered flash was powered by a single AA. The camera came in Red, Blue, Green and Yellow versions and each has a matching colour gel filter that could be slid over the flash. The flash has an optimal range of 0.8-3m according to label on body.

The camera was preloaded with a 200ISO 24 exposure colour negative film. Reloading Requires winding film onto a take-up drum in camera before shooting. Just as with a true disposable the film is then gradually rewound into the canister with each shot.
