Lomography XR Redscale 120 film utilises a quick creative quirk in film manufacturing to give you a dramatic new look for your photography!
The clever technique of spooling regular film backwards lets this Lomography redscale 120 film give your medium format images a mystic red hue.
Setting your camera to different ISO settings (check our film guide for more details on what this means) will dial up and down the redness, allowing you to experiment with different levels of rouge-tinted goodness.
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

Fun experiment
I chose to shoot this film at 100 ISO on an overcast day. I like the results, the brighter parts of the scene exposing more yellow than red.

Post-apocalyptic
I received this film as part AW's Easter Egg hunt and was saving it for a foggy day. My intention was to achieve something with those post-apocalyptic vibes/Blade Runner 2049 Las Vegas scenes. The film didn't disappoint with the colours but it was quite tricky to get the exposure right. The sample images were taken at iso 200 and could have benefitted from a bit more light.

Witchy
Makes everything look a little spooky - great for bright day light particularly when capturing a silhouette against the sky.

Redscale loves the sun
I honestly didn't think I'd like this film as much as I do. It is probably not going to become a daily film for me, but I would like to try it again. Take note, there is a very big difference between shots on a bright/sunny day vs an overcast day.

Not for me
Does what is says, it makes everything red. I don't regret shooting it. but I don't think I will again. I've enjoyed shooting Lomography's other experimental film stocks but this one just isn't as fun for me.

Express Your Inner Crimson and Gold
I know many people see some of the specialty films as gimmicky and I think when they are not used thoughtfully they can look weird. However, I really have fun with them and have enjoyed the results when I did use them in the right conditions. I really love Redscale films and the first roll I made with Lomography's version was great fun. I put it in a Holga camera and made some double exposures and "normal" photos. I loved the variety of tones within the different frames and the bright reds and yellows were perfect for my intentions. My only negative was a thin line through some of the frames but this could have been the camera or developing. I will know when I use it in a different camera. If you are bored or in a bit of a photo miasma I suggest you give it a try.

Would recommend
I haven’t been shooting film for a very long time but the photos I took with this film turned out great. Really high quality and lovely colours. Would recommend to anyone looking to experiment with different colours in their photography. (I used a Lubitel 2 TLR for the shots I’ve attached if anyone’s curious.)

Cool but not necessary
The redscale is achieved by exposing the image to the back side of the film, so you can technically do that with any other film. But it is still cool

Redscale (ISO 200)
Great experimental film but If you're after red then shoot at ISO 200 as at ISO 50 the film renders the image more yellow-ish.

An interesting film when used in the right situation
Having used all of Lomo's films except the hard/impossible to source slide film, the XR was the last one to try. Used in my half frame Koroll 24S the films detail was up the usual high standard ive come to expect from Lomo. The effect is very strong so will only suit certain situations, mainly sunny days.
