Lomography Purple 120 is one of the craziest emulsions on the market today! Beautiful, bizarre, and very definitely purple - your photographs will transport your viewers into an alternative universe with colour shifts and surprising shades.
Please note that this is the 'Petillant' edition. In Lomography's words: depending on your scanning setup, you may see some tiny black dots appear in the lighter parts of your photo

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 experimental film. Periodically innovating new cameras for existing formats - and sometimes bringing back formats specially for their cameras! - they are vibrant and creative

I really love Lomo purple film, and think it is particularly well suited to larger formats. In my experiments, it seems to work best with clear areas of contrast - otherwise things can get muddy and flat. Greens turn a delightful range of purples and reds, with lighter colours tending towards yellow and burned white. In some ways it is reminiscent of the effects you get from cross processing, and is apparently inspired by the IR film aerochrome, which makes sense. For that reason, I use this judiciously, when I want something highly stylised - like for band/promo shots.

Loved it!
My 1st try with this film stock - shot at 200iso on a Yashica LM. Love the effects on greenery/grass. Overall pretty pleased at how they turned out and have now bought the 35mm to try more shots at different iso and different subjects.
I recently shot a roll of Lomochrome Purple and loved the results so much I've just ordered another roll. Exposed at ISO 250, shot in bright sunshine and using a polarising filter, it produced rich purples on tree leaves, pink on grass and changed blue skies to a vivid green. Reds stay red, so for a shot I took of a red phone box and post box against some bushes (shown below), the contrast of the reds and deep purples was amazing. Can't wait for my next roll to arrive.

Good fun and reliable
Great film, fun and easy to use, with really nice-looking results, especially when the purple tones are quite subtle. Shot an expired roll of this which I was pleased with. Would recommend!
