Description
Lomography Metropolis 110 has been carefully crafted to produce desaturated, high-contrast photos - finetuned to mimic the aesthetic of old-time movie theatres and photobooks - and very different from the other colour negative films available to buy today.
After a highly successful Kickstarter campaign to raise the production funds, Lomography is now bringing this wonderful newfilm to market in miniature format...as LomoChrome Metropolis 110!
Grab a roll now to enjoy the fine grain, deep blacks, high contrast and abrupt tonal curve for some seriously dramatic small-scale 110 film photographs. For more info on getting the best from the film check out our article of Lomography's Inside Tips!
Lomography has been at the forefront of the analogue revolution for decades. Starting in 1992 with some Viennese students falling in love with the aesthetic of a particular Soviet camera (the iconic LC-A) - they founded a movement and a company that would introduce a new generation to the joys of plastic cameras and experiemental film. Periodically innovating new cameras for existing formats - and sometimes bringing back formats specially for their cameras! - they are vibrant and creative

I used a Pentax Auto 110 for these shots and got some that I'm very happy with. Perfect for a day out with friends

Typical “expired” look
I usually enjoy Lomo Metropolis, however in 110 the muted tones didn’t quite pack the same punch. I wouldn’t be opposed to shooting it again though…

Gives a typical “expired look”
I love Lomo metropolis in most formats but for 110 it didn’t quite pack the punch. Wouldn’t be opposed to shooting it again however!

cool tones for warm days
despite the cool, desaturated tones, this film seems to behave best in brighter lighting conditions (the shadows can get kinda muddy) with brighter colours: street art & flowers turn out well!

6550 Lomo Metropolis 110, Chile 24.
Didn't really work for me, colours rather muted and grain made for a messy combination in prints. Would like to try with a better 110 camera.

Superb in 110 cameras
I find the great latitude of the film works in simple 110 cameras, the examples here are from a no frills Agfa, waiting to see what results I have from a Kodak 60 after getting over the search for a K battery!

Handles shadow and highlights OK
Here's a shot of garden 'work-in-progress' taken with a Minolta 460TX with a good range of shadow and highlight (no post-processing)

Interesting
I don't have the best 110 film camera, let's get that out of the way, but I've had it since I was seven and was intrigued to see if it still worked. Thought I'd give this film a whirl. It's interesting. It's kind of washed out and muted, there's grain, it looks old. But I can't tell how much of that is the camera and how much is the film. I included a picture of rainbow flags to give an idea of colour reproduction.

Excellent choice when trying out 110
Given I've yet to find an affordable choice for shooting B&W 110, Metropolis is by far the cheapest option I've found for shooting my 110 waterproof camera and well, it performs extremely well, really my only notes are that the high contrast of the filmstock may not meld well with the high power flashes of older 110 cameras (like my Weathermatic A)

Not everyone's a cup of tea
The fresh stock of 110 format is very limited and being delighted with the result with the Lomo Tiger I tried this one , well , it's not for me .

well sort of
only three shots of a roll came out so sort of hard to tell if its really any good. was it camera error, it moved the film along shutter is working ? the three shots i got were ok. will i try 110 again , nar dont think so. will i try this film in 35mm format most likely.

Not quite as satisfying as the 35mm version
I love Metropolis in 35mm and had high hopes for this in my Pentax Auto 110 - apart from anything else, it was the only colour film I could get for it at the time.
Perhaps I was a little unfair on it, shooting half the roll on a pretty overcast day and the other half on a pretty colourless beach. The lack of saturation really didn't go well with the flat, low contrast light and the (mostly) flat, low contrast subject matter.
That being said, where it did work (with some gentle levels tweaks in Gimp) it worked well enough. Just not with quite the impact that the 35mm version gives.
Certainly one I'll be happy to try again, hopefully under more appropriate conditions now I know what to expect from it. Have withheld that last star only because it doesn't quite have the "throw it in and shoot" character that a 110 film really needs given the format's intended use and other limitations.

Interesting film, subdued colours
This is an interesting film, specifically designed to have subdued colours but with a high contrast image. I tried it on a trip to Madeira in February 2020 and in the sunlight on the rocks it was great, it was quite interesting and pleasing with portraits too. General shots such as pictures of cars may be less attractive. If your scene brightly lit this can produce some nice, unique images. Grain isn't subtle in 110 format but it's perfectly good enough for the format.
If you want something for everyday shots, Lomography's Tiger is excellent in 110 format.
I shot the attached images with a 1970s ITT pocket camera in February 2020.

The film for a special camera.
I needed a special 110 roll film for a Voightlander Vitoret 110 EL that would be the replacement for the same company’s Bessar, gifted to me by my father on my 19 th birthday and now nonfunctional through perished bellows. This was a very important online purchase, with a purpose built box I designed myself ,incorporating the Bessar’s camera strap.Analogue Wonderland was the chosen company for the film. They are in the forefront of film development and my choice for a sentimental project. I worked on the development of novel synthetic routes for colour chemicals for camera film, so recognise innovative approaches from manufacturers. This successor camera already has new technology incorporated in an own design replacement battery compartment top, where a cutdown Phillips cross head screw was epoxy putty fixed in place,which avoids bimetallic corrosion that occurs when copper coins are used. Phillips screwdrivers are non corrosive and more efficient than coins for the purpose. A small one is fitted in the camera box, along with film and flash gun space. All possible if you have the determination to use the right products for a cherished project.It isn’t finished yet, but when it is, you at Analogue Wonderland are welcome to mobile phone photos of the film ,the Vitoret and box/carry case and shots from its first outing. Email me if this appeals and I can share the response with the people I support in learning photography.

OK but not a favourite.
First time trying Metropolis,I tend to use mostly Lomo Tiger 110.
The pictures were a bit hit and miss.
Colour not quite as good and bit grainier than the Tiger film.
I shot it in the new Lomomatic 110 camera which itself was a bit of a disappointment but I would Metropolis again in a better camera and see if it offers better results.

Metropolis
I have not used up by 110 film yet but I have used a 35mm roll in my Pentax ME super.
I think the film was amazing and I have been doing film 50 years.
Very subdued colours with lots of grain which I personally love. If you don't want a bit of grain do digital.
Going to get some more.

Hi is this film cartridge compatible with the Minolta 16 110 film cartridge.
Do you sell reversal 110 film for projection Roy.
Analogue Wonderland
Hi - it won't work with the Minolta 16 camera - as they require specialist 16mm film cassettes. I don't know whether anyone made adapters to fit 110 into 16mm?
