Just what I was after
The LC-A is a joy to shoot. The simplicity of a fixed focal length and being effectively stuck in "P" mode, plus its small size – it will fit in a jeans pocket – make it a welcome change from my usual SLR photography.
35mm is the easiest film to find, and the easiest to process / have processed short of instant. The ISO/ASA setting dial is a bit limited – it runs in 1-stop clicks from 25 to 400 – but should be fine for most purposes. The light meter on mine (dated '86) seems to still work fine, though it errs on the side of overexposure in high-contrast situations. Obviously image quality is determined by the film as much as the camera, but the Minitar lens seems to compare well with others I've used: focussed areas are sharp and colour is vibrant. The hot shoe is X-sync (same as any modern flash system), and fires just before the shutter closes ("rear-curtain sync", in SLR terms).
All in all, the LC-A is a nice compact camera for more casual film photography, and fits particularly well with Lomography-style shooting.

Perfect contrast control
Can be easily cut to fit the above-lens filter drawer of different enlargers. Works well with different brands of variable contrast paper. Gives consistent results.

Does what it says it does
The instant back is a little fiddly to install, and you have to remember the small correction lens inside the Lomo LC-A, but once it's on it works just fine. Instax Mini film is pretty easy to find too.
With a little extra work, it's easy to set up your LC-A to switch back and forth between 35mm film and the instant back, but once you've put one in you're stuck with it till the end of that container – either the 24/36exp roll of 35mm or the 10 shot pack of Instax.
My instant back came without the viewfinder (as described), which makes framing photos a bit imprecise, but that suits the rules of Lomography anyway. The instant back hides the LC-A's normal viewfinder.
Having the "film eject" button – completely separate to the shutter mechanism – makes it easy to take either regular or multiple exposure pictures. To make this work, the instant back has its own batteries (2 x CR2). Having to carry an extra set of spare batteries is a bit awkward but they're pretty small.
