Lomography has been at the forefront of the analogue revolution for decades. Starting in 1992 with some Viennese students falling in love with the aesthetic of a particular Soviet camera (the iconic LC-A) - they founded a movement and a company that would introduce a new generation to the joys of plastic cameras and experimental film. Periodically innovating new cameras for existing formats - and sometimes bringing back formats specially for their cameras! - they are vibrant and creative

Definitely a fun film to play with. I wish I've done a research before shooting with that roll. The results were quite random. Some of the pictures turned out really cool, some of them not really. I would definitely recommend it to someone who is more familiar with 35mm film, not necessarily beginners.
Nothing beats seeing the results of lomochrome purple- feels natural yet otherworldly! The purple hue in most photos makes them feel odd, however, the natural looking reds and how smooth colours are make it feel natural. Really weird seeing a bright green scene render as different shades of purple pink and blue but the results aren't jarringly colourful, which makes the results great! Definitely a fun film to play around with. Exposure latitude is great, slightly grainy however I don't think it matters with a film like this. Highly recommend if you're looking for something quirky.
An interesting film to play with. Every film photographer should give it a go at least once. Be prepared for some funky colour shifts and visible grain. Don't expect too much from your first roll as it can be tricky to get consistent results and may require a bit of trial, error and practice since it's really not like any other film. Keep in mind it likes a lot of light plus contrasting texture and colours in the scene to perform well and achieve those purple tones. A dull day will leave you with flat yellow/sepia toned images. Those can be pretty cool too though if that's what you are after. I've found it works best with minimalist images where there is a key point of focus in the frame.
I wanted to try this film for so long. It is great to know in advance that the colors you will have will be completely off. Great for fun, but obviously, if you want real colors, don't bother. I tried it at 100, need to try it at 400 now.
Probably not the best film for portrait but it worth the try !
