Loved the colours of this roll especially the winter blues and greens. Would definitely buy again
I was really pleased with the shots I got back -I sent off 3 different types of colour film and they all look superb and noticeably different for the different films. I'm really excited to shoot with colour and get them developed again!
I'm salty bc 18 isn't enough :/ give the people what they want !! (36)
I bought two rolls of Delta 3200 after being asked to photograph my brother's band at their second show. It was a small venue with dim, red lighting, so I knew the fastest possible film was required. I pushed it to 6400 and even then the lighting was often inadequate; resulting in smeared long-exposures and defeating my Minolta 7000's autofocus for the most part.
The results, however, speak for themselves. While not resulting in detailed documentation of the performance there's a feeling of being caught up in events in the images, and considering the extreme ISO the grain is far better than I'd expected. It's not a film I'd reach for in most situations, since I generally go for slow, high-acutance films, but for things like gig photography it's hard to beat.
Absolutely flawless service. So easy from start to finish. And the results are fantastic. Great communication throughout and the quality of the scans are spot on.
Wouldn’t go anywhere else for my film development.
Highly recommended!
I LOVE this film, I like to shoot industrial areas which are quite imposing, mechanical and brutal, Harman red compliments this perfectly and makes for some excellent shots
I bought a three pack of Lady Grey, intending to use it in some zoom compacts to feature on my channel. When it arrived I found it had no DX code on the cannisters, so no good for DX cameras with no override.
After buying the film I subsequently saw some speculation the the film is, in fact, Fomapan 400 and that upset me because I have given up on Foma films because of suspect quality control affecting some emulsions.
I have now shot my first roll in the Fuji STX-2 and developed it in Ilfosol 3. I have to say the results were very satisfying - good contrast, detail and finer grain than you would expect from Fomapan 400, which made me think the speculation was wrong.
The box states "Made in the Czech Republic", so it is almost certainly Fomapan. I then compared the look to some previously shot films and came to the conclusion that it is actually Fomapan 200 pushed one stop.
Yes this gives good looking images, but Fomapan 200 was about £2 a roll cheaper when I bought the Lady Grey, and Fomapan 200 has DX codes and also frame numbers on the negative margins.
In conclusion: I will not be trusting Lomo again, thankyou, but I also believe that AW know exactly what is contained in the Lomo packaging, and for not making us aware of it they get their first black mark from me.
A very straightforward process with clear instructions and enough options to cover anything you need from your film. The results are always consistently good throughout the roll (except when I leave the lens cap on or take a shot of my foot!)
I first came across Tri-X 400 in the 1960s working closely with photographers as a graphic designer. What always strikes me about this film is its consistency. It always makes the most most of any light conditions with its dramatic contrast and the distinction and clarity of its mid-tones. It's great that it's still available (thanks AW).
Really happy with the results! Surprised just how straightforward the whole process is (and shipping too, easy!).
Complete newbie to shooting film and really didn't know what to expect when time came to send off for developing. A friend recommended AW and I'm genuinely surprised how well they turned out with me just stumbling through it (the cameras light metre is definitely off a bit) They really get the best they can out of the film, very reassuring to know you don't have to get it perfect every time. Or that film is just more forgiving than some would have you think!
Really can't fault them - all I can say is if you're just getting into film and getting worried reading up about all the different variables involved - it really is easier than you think when you can just send it off to dedicated technicians like this and you get back exactly what you saw through the viewfinder.
Specs:
Colorama Smart Film 200 (exp. 2006)
Yashica TL-Electro (absolutely legendary carboot find (hearing aid batteries w/ adapters for the light metre))
Developing film with wonderlb is easy and straightforwards. The pre pay postage labels are a nice touch, and it is easy to download the scans.
I tend to find that I sometimes have to edit the scans as the colours and contrast aren't always to my taste. AW will do this for you but it is a paid service. I attached a scan where the colours are way off, but the other scans all seem fine.
I've just bought a Rolleiflex and re-learning to shoot film. These guys are the only lab I will use (have tried 3 others), why? because they are excellent communicators and pretty good and developing too :-)
Very nice realistic ,vibrant colours with a reasonably fine grain. Even looks good when I multiple exposed one shot (forgot to wind on!!)
I'd not used the lab before but following Photowalk Bristol my ProImage 100 was taken for processing. Wow, great quality JPEGs scans received quickly. Would definitely recommend & use again!
Reliable film stock that I use in my Olympus throughout the summer
My go to film stock to use with my Reto Ultra wide point and shoot
A reliable choice for my first experiments with 120 film
It took me a while to get round to using Portra, I've enjoyed the photo's so far but have to admit I had put it on abit of a pedestal so wasn't quite as blown away as I expected
First go at shooting with black & white film. Really pleased with the initial results and the contrast in the scenes. It captures detail in a variety of lighting.
Shot this role pushed from 1 to 200. Got some woodland interiors though this took processing. Sunny shots however are a joy.
Reliable, colourful, versatile. Used two rolls of this film on a trip to the Hebrides. It coped with cloudy weather and fading light. I hope fujifilm continue to produce it.
First time shooting this film, it definitely excels in sunny weather, and produces bright sharp images. The colour palette is reminiscent of a warm sumers day. I had one shot that looked like a photgraph that had been left in the sun and faded, but I think that was more to do with the auto white balance on the scanner, as none of the other shots had that problem.
A film I always return to, stunning results. Very unusual and creative.
Versatile in difficult lighting situations. Stunning Portra stock, a joy to use.
Lovely contrast, beautifully clear and with a nice grain. Didn’t expect to love shooting black and white so much, but this film really surprised me! The c41 processing makes it so easy to send off for processing with the rest of my film too
