Great colours :)

I’m the beginner. I assembled my first film camera I got from AW (Lomography Konstruktor F), and was surprised it worked :D
It’s very fun, but quite tricky to use (you can’t regulate almost anything, no flash light etc.), and Kodak Porta 800 produced the best result so far. Warm, bright colours, nice even in low light. Surely expensive for a casual use, but my go-to when I want to get decent classic pics of views/places/people on my Konstruktor.

Despite its alleged versatility I do not think this is a film for beginners if one wants to maximise its potential. It can easily turn into a very expensive experiment. a fairly professional emulsion that tends to render colours relatively well in low light situations. I only use this film occasionally mainly for unassisted interior events photos where I utilise available light without the interference of artificial flash light or where the character of the event precludes the use of additional lighting. Where you want warm skin tones this will beat other brands but if you do not like the trad Kodak looks (red\blue\yellow) it may not be for you. I have to admit it does render most colours ok but if I was to decide between Kodak and other brands of high sensitivity colour neg films to shoot an event on multiple rolls I would go somewhere else esp if shooting 120 mainly due to its high price. It seems more predictable than Portra 160 or 400 which often suffers from certain strange colour shifts depending on lighting conditions. It is worth researching this film and its applications and looking up any comparisons between 160 400 and 800 available depending on what you plan to do with this professional film; it might help you decide whether it is suitable and worth the extra bucks.

Lovely colours, dream to shoot.
The business

As a very casual photographer this was great - captures colours so vividly, even in lower lights and using a point-and-shoot Ilford Sprite.
