Slightly mixed results but the green tones😍

My one criticism of this film is it came out much more grainy than usual 400iso films I use and I’m not a huge fan. I shot most of it with 400 iso so I’d try it lower as it may improve. Tonal results of images varied a lot but the ones that came out nice are very cool. Not my fav but I like it.

Amazing grungy bleakness

Being called Metropolis I figured I'd take it into the city, and I was not disappointed. Everything is desaturated and washed out, and this gives it such a grungy look. Perfect for city streets, graffitied walls, street scenes. Can't wait to try it again.

Interesting

I quite like the different darker tone of this film. I need to definitely try it in different lighting situations to see how it performs, but it's certainly interesting and different from your normal colourful film stocks

Terrible Film

This is the worst Lomography film I have yet to test. Photos lack sharpness, exposure is badly off, film is VERY grainy and I was disappointed with the shots overall. I won't use it again myself.

Expired-vibe

Gives a whole new dimension to portraits, this image in particular came out very contrast-y however the rest of the roll had much more subdued highlights and shadows. Great film. Typical expired look!

one of my recent favourites

if its used in the correct environment it looks really nice, has a gritty look and lots of bluey/green tones.
out of all the effect films this is one of my favourite

Lovely in the right conditions

Metropolis is definitely a “vibey” film. It’s grainy, cool, and with an interesting pop of yellow colours. It’s not versatile, I wouldn’t go shooting flowers or neons with it - but if you think of it as a kind of black and white with a hint of colour you can get some really lovely results. Definitely a winner for street, but I wouldn’t use it for just any situation.

Cold wintery colours and high contrast. Quite moody but can be a little gloomy and drab

Grungy and desaturated goodness

Personally I’m not a fan…but I can see how this could fare well if a grungey aesthetic is needed.
My partner took a roll to a festival and I think it suited that sort of occasion really well. It’s somewhat dynamic, but it’s not got a lot of colour to it (intentionally) so it’s not something I’d use unless I absolutely wanted that desaturated/high contrast look!

Colour done differently

For something a bit different you can't go wrong with Metropolis. It offers an step backed feel that doesn't look quite like anything else. A firm favourite of mine, especially when shooting in subdued lighting.

Desaturated and fun

If you're wanting to shoot something a little different this is fun. I wouldn't shoot any portraits with it but it's great if you want to suck the vibrancy out of everything.

Love the muted colours!

The muted colours look great, nice and moody but with plenty of life too. it.

so dramatic. amazing for a "film" look

I loved this film. It gave my photos such an extra edge. I think it looks specially good in scenes with sun and shade, on a bright day. Some of the shadiest bits were too dark, the only down side of the film imo

Needs the right Subject.

It's not that this is a bad film, it's just an acquired tasted. This was actually my second roll of Metropolis, my first one had a faulty cartridge and would not feed properly (bought from a different retailer).

I think, if you're looking for that retro 70s, poverty vibe then this is the film for you, otherwise, its lack of red shades just doesn't do it for me. I'm glad I gave it a go though.

Lovely

This film has a vintage and almost cinematic feel to it.
Unfortunately I wasted most of a roll due to using it in a faulty point and shoot camera.
I'll definitely buy another roll though to try it again.

Bleak & Gritty

My first time shooting this film, it was a bleak and grim day in October in the North of England, and the film showed that well. A little too grainy for me in some shots, but the light wasn't bright so it was to be expected. I like how it washed out bright colours and had a really film-y feel to the shots!
