I am still cutting my teeth in both the dark room and using some fairly unusual cameras after years working commercially with digital. This film was attractive as the price was very keen so it could be used almost sacrificially.

The results have been pretty good, when my technique has been on form, so much so that I am fully intending to get a few more rolls soon, as well as trying further Lomography offerings.

I bought the three roll pack of this to test a Yashica 635, and I'm pleased to say the film (and the camera) delivered. Working out well below a tenner per roll, you get some nice contrast, with even tones, and a print size a barely noticeable grain (though enough for you to know this is nicely analogue).

It performed pretty well indoors, but I especially like this for architectural shots, or outdoor portraits.

It handles nicely, spooling in the camera with no issues, and going onto the reel in my Paterson tank with similar ease. It also dries pretty quickly after developing (and the negatives have that look that just tells you they're going to work out well once scanned).

I can see this being my general will-definitely-work go-to for going on holiday.

I bought a roll to try in my Agfa Clack. Despite this camera's limitations (slow shutter speed and soft around the image edges), my experience is Early Grey has quite fine grain, enough sharpness in the middle of my image and sufficient contrast. Given its price, it is worthwhile to try out on a bright sunny day.

This has ben siting in my store for a few months waiting for brighter days so, with bright but overcast light this afternoon, it got loaded into the Lubitel and taken for a trip to the last church in the area I haven't photographed over lockdown.

Light certainly wasn't ideal - bright but pretty flat - but the Earl Grey coped remarkably well, bringing out what contrast was there and delivering reasonable "punch" while retaining good tones with subtle graduation.

Sharpness was god as far as you can tell with a Lubitel's focusing limitations and latitude was excellent, as shown by the two "same" shots of the twin graves. On the first I caught the shutter lever, turning a 1/125s exposure into something close to 1/30s but the emulsion coped with the massive over-exposure remarkably well.

Because any fair review should mention any negative points, just be aware that this film will turn your developer an almost luminous green. It's startling but apparently doesn't have any bad effects on the chemistry.

Lubitel 2, developed in Rodinal 1+50 (8 minutes), Epson 600 scans with no post adjustments.

Lovely soft grain, but loses no detail. I shot my roll on a sunny day & it was perfect.

Tried this out on a lovely bright day using my Bronica S2a with a nikkor 200mm lens
metering with sekonic profi six Images developed in D76 1:1 for 9 min
The range of tones captured is fantastic as can be seen in the image of the Gate house archway. Detail was captured in the shadows and the highlights very well. I like this film for this reason and will be using it again.

This film is really good. I have used it many times in different film cameras. So easy to use and develop.
Great results as well even at iso 100
I used the cinestill black and white developer with this and results are great !! develops in just 3 minutes !!
Would recommend this film more for beginners trying out 120 film.
Easy to load, use and develop

I used this as a first film in a 3d printed pinhole camera, so I was testing everything (I am also new to developing at home!). The results were great! Reciprocity failure wasn't too bad ( if you take super long exposures like with a pinhole camera this matters!). I found it easy to work with and certainly good value.

Having shot a couple of rolls of this of recent, I have to be very honest and say I am not really impressed. There are significantly better options, even considering the price. Maybe I am missing the thing that makes it special but I don't find it to be sharp, contrast is muddy, it's not swimming with character so much as it is just a bit murky and unremarkable. It's not terrible, it's just 'meh'. At the price point I am sure it will have its fans, but sadly not for me.
