I last used this 90+ year old camera, Ikonta 520/2 with Frontar f=12 1:9 lens, in 1964. Will keep trying.

It's a good film, for various lighting situations. I decided to give it a try after having tried Lomographys colour films.

This film is a great alternative if you want to try something different to Ilford or Kodak, nice contrast, great grain and tonality, and develops and scans really nicely. I was had pretty low expectations but was pleased to be proved wrong, same goes for Lomo colour 100/400, they're a great Portra alternative.

I used to stay away from lomo films, i dont know why, perhaps it was a snobby opinion based on years of shooting just pro fuji and kodak films. I was clearly wrong. Does it come close to my prefered black and white films (Agfa APX400/Rollei Retro 400s)? No. But; just like Kentmere Pan 400, Lomo Lady Grey has shown that it is a dependable all-round 400iso film that is not too expensive.

So, this was my first ever shooting experience in medium format. A great roll of film with some great images. I wouldn’t recommend for low light situations as it can get a little muddy. However, for experimenting it’s super fun.

Great film, good for both daylight and slightly dimmer conditions. Very good if you like that slightly grainy look. Would recommend for beginners.

Great film for beginning your journey/experimentation with B&W film.

I took these on 35mm but I am moving into medium format for 2023 and I will certainly put this at the top of my list. Perfect for my normal subjects of architecture and woodlands. Very pleased with the results

Honestly hands down, the best to home develop and even push a couple of stops your secured with this fine grain film, the subtle colour shifts are amazing to see once developed

Nice contrasts and works well in low light. First time shooting and i'd love to try it again!

I've shot a couple of recently expired rolls of Lady Grey with no problems. I shot in an old Zeiss Ikon Nettar and got results I'm happy with. With the right exposure it returned nice contrast and a good range of Grey's.

In the spirit of " I haven't tried this before but it looks interesting", I popped a pack of Lady Grey in my virtual basket. It was just the thing to have in my trusty Rolleicord on a grey late winter day in Cumbria. There were just enough hints of sunshine breaking through the clouds to add a bit more light and shade and illuminate the dark trees. The Lady Grey proved pleasingly punchy with good rich blacks and reasonable grain developed in Atomal FF (a developer which I've found to work well with the more old school European emulsions). If you like a film that's a little bit different from modern emulsions like TMax then this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

I picked up a Balda Baldixette from eBay recently, not because I particularly wanted a 120 camera, but more because it was a beautiful piece of West German engineering. It's about 60 years old and was marketed as a point and shoot in it's day. Zone focusing, fixed shutter speed and a choice of F16 or F9 meant that I needed a forgiving film. I've had good results with Orca 110 before, so decided to try Lady Grey. There were some mishaps; the shutter action is so quiet that I ended up double exposing a couple of frames. Inexperience in handling roll film meant some slight light leaks and the limited aperture control meant that it was very much a case of hoping for the best. I developed in Caffenol and scanned using a light-box and digital camera. The results were remarkably good - fine detail and decent grain, with plenty of detail in the shadows. I've upped the contrast post-dev, but otherwise the image is untouched. I'm very pleased with the results and am looking forward to using more Lady Grey. There may be more technically advanced 120 film out there, but this is a good film for an introduction to the B&W 120 format.

With no high expectations I am very pleased with LadyGrey400's results. It's such a great film for various ocassions; especially in changing light during the day. Just load it and don't worry if it's too sunny or too cloudy. I can definitely recommend to try this one out, because I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

This film is everything I think I shouldn't like - high contrast, deep blacks and Lomo trademark designer grain. I arrogantly think I'm better than that somehow. And yet every roll gives me two or three images that I really love... so I keep buying more of it. Advice for others is that it's a great film, giving beautiful photographs with a unique look about them, and the grain on 120 is actually very nice. For me, I think I have some soul searching to do.
