I LOVE this film

I've tried it in 135 and now in 120 - it's a perfect film for streets and industrial areas. The desaturation and grungy look might not be for everyone but I can't get enough of it.

fantastic "faded" tones

I love the look of my results from this, I've shot a few 35mm rolls of Metropolis but the grain of the 120 seems a lot finer, would totally shoot again!

Absolutely my Favourite Colour Film!!

I have long loved this film in 35mm so when I got a 120 camera, Diana F+, it was a no brainer to try it in 120. The variable iso, 100 - 400, works perfectly with the Diana (as the camera has a rudimentary approach to aperture - either pinhole, sunny, a bit sunny or cloudy - so under exposure, which I've had when shooting a pure 100 iso film, is thankfully more difficult to achieve. The muted vintage tones also work brilliantly with the soft, dreamy focus.

In short I love this film in 35mm and absolutely adore it in 120, especially when shot with a Diana F+.

I love it.

I didn’t get back into film photography for its accuracy and detail, if I wanted that I would use my digital camera. I got into analogue photography for the imperfections and the colour shifts. Thats why I love this film. It looks like you’re taking a photo with a nostalgic filter on. Like you would imagine a 1990s developed film would be like. The reds and blues pop beautifully and the other colours almost disappear, I have bleach bypassed before and this is not unlike that. 120 obviously has less grain but the grain never bothered me anyway. Really recommend. Maybe not for weddings or events but for grungy portraits and street shoot definitely.

Great for cityscapes

I think I probably made the mistake of using this film for countryside landscapes. It might be better for urban/built up environments. Images came out duller than I expected even though it was a bright day -my error of judgement rather than anything to do with the quality of film.

Blue tones

Pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this film, really enjoyed using it outdoors.

One of my favourites

I have only good things to say about this film. The images I took with it were crisp and clear, the colours look lovely, it performs well both in direct light and in slight shade, though I haven’t tested it in properly dark conditions. If you like the look of the sample photos I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. Decent price for the quality and it definitely has a nice muted look to it that I haven’t seen in other colour films before. Really enjoyed it, will definitely be buying again.

A Nice film - love how it renders reds.

This film is less saturated then your standard colour film and can be rated at ISO 100, 200 or 400. I decided to go down the middle and try ISO 200. I was quite surprised at the level of colour I did get on this film but was very pleased with the results. I found it to be a lot sharper than I expected, possibly because this was in 120 format. The film seems to be more suited to an urban setting although it would work for Landscape too. I don't think it would be good for portraits. I really like the resulting images. Certainly gives things a bit more of a Grungy look and those red tones are beautiful.

Lomo Metropolis 120

I bought a roll of this for my TLR back in December for a specific shoot I was booked onto in February. I chose it based on the description and example photos and it looked and sounded perfect.
When I got my images back from the lab I was really happy, it was EXACTLY as I’d imagined it being, literally the perfect film for the shoot (Cold War era Aviation with re-enactors). The images could have been straight out of the Cold War, perfectly desaturated and grungy without being overly grainy.
I decided to shoot at iso 400 with the light available on the day.
I’d definitely buy it again for this kind of shoot

Nice but a little darker than expected

Metropolis looks wonderful in urban areas! I definitely recommend it for use in cityscapes. I think it made pretty boring or ugly buildings look more interesting. The photos did come out darker than i'd expected though. I'm not sure if it was an exposure issue on my end but that's something to consider, even when shooting in daylight.

Good quality but not the most interesting

Very good quality film however probably the least interesting of the lomochrome series - with higher light it gives good sharpness and clarity and in lower light you end up with a sort of sepia effect.

Subdued Colours

I've only tried this in 120 but loved the results and the subdued amazing colours from this film, a great experimental film well worth a try, I shot the film at 200 in my 1933 Voigtländer Brillant

Not the most accurate colour reproduction, but tons of vibe.

I wouldn't use this for anything where i was trying to be accurate, but I took some on holiday with a Bronica SQ-A and got some great results.
I'd recommend it to be used where bright colours are present. Great contrast, plenty fine.
