hit and miss but the effect can be nice

for certain scenes the effect really works i feel
however, some photos can come out underexposed so i would recommend overexposing this film

The least favourite film I've ever tried

Got this as part of the wonder box & jeez I realise there's different tastes but I can't see why anyone would voluntarily use this film haha. I shot some holiday photos on this stock and instantly regretted that decision when I saw the results. I quite like some Revolog films but this one was definitely not for me. The worst film I've ever used by a long shot.

Not my fav film

Most photos came out under exposed when other films of the same ISO would have been fine. Not really a fan of the look. Will not be buying this film again.

Spend your money elsewhere

I got this in the wonder box and so gave it go - apart from the non sensical over the top deliberate scratching on the film, the film itself is murky with horrible grain structure, make sure you give it an extra stop of exposure i’d say if shooting on a grey day.
Your £15 would be far better spent on Kodak gold and processing in my opinion.

Strange Film

Got this film as part of the wonder box but cannot see why anyone would want to buy it. The film itself is for creative use but the fact it give you results that look like a damaged film is strange. The scratches make the images look terrible and I am glad I only paid for low quality cheap scans so definitely not for me.

Interesting...

A film with unpredictable, yet interesting results with each frame having different results to the next. Usually, like most of us, I tend to try my best to avoid causing any scratches to my films or editing them out in post production if they do occur, but when I received this film in the Wonderbox I was intrigued, and it is one that took me out of comfort zone, allowing me to try something new which is what the Wonderbox is all about. I looked forward to the results, and I wasn't disappointed. With the right subject matter the results can be really intriguing and create something which just works. Definitely a film worth trying at least once if you like to experiment with your film/photography/art.

Something went wrong

I'll be upfront and say I'm not really into "creative films" but, having said that, when I get one in the Wonderbox I'll give it a go. Having spent the last 35 years trying not to scratch my negs, loading a "distressed" film into my camera was an odd feeling. I wanted to try it somewhere that might suit the film. On a recent trip to Brighton, the pier seemed the ideal place. I shot the whole film in one go, and metered at box speed. Sadly, when the results came back from the lab, the negs were hugely under-exposed. The lab had just managed to squeeze something out of them, but flatter than a pancake was the order of the day. Oddly, the occasional frame seems almost OK. I don't know (without doing some testing) whether my camera's lightmeter was playing-up, or whether it was the film, or (extremely unlikely) the developing. I'm very disappointed in the final results, and am not sure I want to buy a second roll of quite expensive film to find out. I don't seem to have much luck with the creative films, they always seem to come back from the lab looking rubbish.

What about the concept? If you have a subject which suits it, it could be fun in a masochistic sort of way. The problem is, not many subjects suit it. My usual genre of landscapes and historic buildings is probably not the best for it.

I have uploaded two of the better exposed images, and one of the bad ones (the cow) which is typical of about 32 of the 36 frames. Heavy editing in Lightroom can improve them (see the log plume), but not enough that I would want to post them anywhere else.

Interesting, but think carefully about what you are going to be shooting.

So then, first of all, I am not a fan of these "modified" films, having seen other people's work using them, and the effects they produce. Secondly, ice hockey is _not_ a suitable shooting subject for this film (in my opinion of course!). Rated at 200, it is probably a bit too slow for my liking, shutter speeds being on the low side for even the fairly sedate activity of warm up. That said, the colours underneath the often heavy "streaking" are fairly robust, the edge code on the film identifies it as a 200 ASA Kodak. At first, the effect really was troubling me (again, maybe not a good subject to shoot with this film), however, I think with sufficient time on the scanner & at the computer, the effects can be reduced to a more acceptable level.

The pictures I have included, are cropped, and the contrast, and high/low lights adjusted along with black/white levels in PS. I have not touched or tweaked any of the colours themselves.

In my mind, this film might, and I stress the word might, be more suitable for street scenes and possibly architectural shots of, for example, old buildings, stately homes and such like. Looking at the film as a whole, the darker the scene, the more the colour cast and streaking is present, the lighter, better lit it is, the less obvious / present it is (see the sample shots attached). Which sort of makes sense. I'd think that on a bright, sunny day, or in a well lit scene, then you'd maximise the streaking effect (and minimise the cast) which could, potentially make for some more "retro" style images. It would certainly lend itself to creative minds and abstract scenes.

Why did I shoot with it? Well, it was part of the WonderBox subscription so I didn't consciously go and purchase it. Would I though? Probably, yes I would (just one roll perhaps). I have in my mind's eye scenes I'd like to try with it (a couple of big old houses) and a few local high streets which might just return some useful results, with possibly a desaturation to B&W? We'll see!

3 Stars because of the workload getting some of the images to a state where they were not over run by the colour cast.

For information: Nikon F4S, 70-200 f2.8 Sigma, shot at box. Developed at home with FPP C-41, as per the kit instructions. Blood, sweat & tears on the computer getting the images to an acceptable state.

A truly Awful film

Tried this out today at Haverthwaite steam railway hoping to get some interesting shots however upon processing I was disappointed to say the least. If I had received these images back from a lab I would complain and find another lab Colour casts and heavy distress. It almost looks as if lomo have let their kindergarten into the lab This is not a film I will use again and if it turns up in another wonderbox I will complain and put it in the bin
The images I obtained will not be placed on social media

Terrible rewound fim

I have shot film since late 1970's. Revolog streak is a rewound film. Mine had been poorly wound & must have been kinked because it wound terrible & l lost 1/3 of the roll using manual rewind on a favourite camera. I am awaiting the development if it can be done.
Just buy Kodak gold or colour plus. It is the same film not rewound. Avoid
Update on developing. Lab told me it jammed & snapped in their machine. Wonderlab were so good replacing the film. The film l had got up 4.30am to capture the sunrise over an island.
A cause of under exposure of film is it may be old expired stock. The roll kindly replaced by AW l put straight in the bin.
