So, how badly was the Lomo LC Wide over exposing? Here are a few that were converted with NLP, Noritsu Color profile, Lab Standard tone profile. No other manipulations.
The color detail shots of buildings are excellent. Really shows off how rich ektar is.

Just got back into film over the holiday break. A friend lent me a Pentax KX loaded with black and white ISO 400 film and I got hooked. Spent way too much money buying an EOS 1V and a collection of EF lenses, some of which I owned back when I shot Canon DSLRs. Here are my shots from the first rolls. For black and white I mainly shot Acros II 100 with some HP5+ 400 and Fomapan 400. For color I have only shot Ektar 100 so far, but want to try Gold 200 for outdoor portraits when the weather warms up. I'm loving this so far. My biggest challenge is I am frequently seeing scratches/dust when I scan the negatives. I have been trying to narrow down the variables to figure out why, it's a work in progress.

I think @ottokbre mentioned in the MC-A thread that his was +2 stops..
Either way I think those look pretty good, bit on the bright side (like, the one with the yellow door really has gotten a lot of light) but you could tame that easily in NLP.
Also really like the colors in the pictures of your other big post from the camera a couple days ago, I am following that school of "color negative film should be overeposed a stop by default" though.
Still, looked really good for Fuji 200 I thought!

Here's one taken Saturday with the LC-W
Pretty much the same scene, using the same film taken a couple of weeks ago with a Kodak Retina IIa and metered with a Reveni Lumo
The lab was nice enough to include some water spots for effect.

Got things a bit mixed up there (it's still early where I am, pardon the confusion) 🙂
It’s interesting that MC-A users have been reporting the camera over exposing by two stops and the LC-W was doing the same thing. Sent the Lomo back to the seller, think I’ll skip the LC-A.
The Retina is small and easily carried in a pocket but it’s mostly brass construction and weighs just a bit under 600 grams. I was looking for something lighter and had high hopes for the Lomo only to have them dashed by actually using it.

Definitely not ideal or acceptable with a new camera. But 2-3 stops of overexposure should be correctable in post with negative film. There might be some slight color shifts but it shouldn’t look as bad as you’re showing it.
