Lomography Metropolis - 35mm Film

I shot this Metropolis at ISO 200 in a Canon AE-1p in and around Glasgow in Feb 2021. Bit of a dull day so I reckon on future shoots might use ISO 100 to tone down the colour shifting and maybe lesson grain. I have another roll of this and will definitely try more street photography round Bristol on second roll. Bit of fun! Enjoy.

If you want to shoot something different then this film is for you. It is very forgiving on exposure, as is most colour film, so it is good for beginners. Results are very contrasty and because it can be processed by any C41 lab you won't have trouble getting it developed. I shot my roll in the winter, under flat light. I would be interested to shoot again in the summer and at night. I scanned my negatives so colour balance was up to me. It is on the expensive side but it is a small run film so thats understandable. Lomography are to be applauded for bringing this out. Great fun and well worth trying, especially for street photographers.

Nice result

This film got me into colour (C41) processing after mucking about, sorry, taking arty shots with B&W for some years. I liked the write up given by AW, it read, to me, as if this film is a muted colour B&W film. And it is, depending on your post scanning process.
I've shot a few of these films now, the first at 200 just to see how it was going to come out, and I think the best settings are either 200 or 400, particularly for high contrast subjects. I have recently shot it at 125 but wasn't hugely happy with the outcome, but I think that was my choice of subjects rather than the film.
You do get the odd light bleed streaks on the negatives, not on all rolls, but I'm unsure whether it's my fault, the plastic film canister or a random thing Lomography do to the film to keep us on our toes!
If anything, and this is purely my personal opinion, I think this film is better shot 1/3rd or 2/3rds under exposed for better rendition so you aren't relying too much on PP manipulation to get the colour deeper.

Shot on a bright sunny late afternoon in a Canon EOS, the results were very pleasant with almost digital sharpness and great contrast but more saturation than expected on some shots. There was a fairly heavy red cast off the scanner but corrected easily and consistently across the roll.

The 400 speed made for nice flexibility as long as you have the shutter speeds to control it - was around 1/2000th at f8 for several shots so maybe not one to explore blurred backgrounds with!
