Now I was wondering- how would lomography film used on SLRs look like? They always say that the vivid colours are from the lomo cameras, how about if you use redscale films etc. on an SLR?
Lomo film on SLR?
- Thread starter nuttybrenda

i suppose since most lomo camera have a limited set of apertures to work in compared to an SLR. Shooting lomo films with SLRs would have a very different look as to using lomo camera. I took this using provia 100f on my FE2. and there's a lack of vignetting that lomo cameras have. haha.

Lomography film? Which one? Xpro slides or negatives? Lomo cams doesn't guarantee vivid colors too. Using the right film does.
Using redscale film on SLR gives you of course the normal redscale results ... just that on SLRs ... they turn out nice n sharp (provided you focus right and set things right).Btw ... lomo don't produce their own film. They are just rebranded ones. What you were referring to might be slide films that are cross processed. Yes you do get some vivid/whacky colors if you use those ... but then many factors need to be taken into consideration like lighting etc.

Understood, thanks! And I'm loving the colour of this picture!

Ah I was just thinking of the types of films used for lomo cameras in general, actually! I understand what you mean though, thanks! I'm just really clueless on this subject because I don't own an SLR, but was thinking of acquiring one. Something learnt- films packaged under Lomography are really just normal films

And I apologize if I've posted in the wrong section of the forum! I just realized that there's a new category for LOMOs & Compacts!!
Go here for the market price. you can also buy from any film processing store near your house.
you can try the shop near sim lim, called triple d. you can google for their exact address, they sell these positives films there and of course, provide cross processing to give you such colours from the films...
From my experience, lomo films do not generally produce any special effects if you process it in C-41. the pictures will turn out to look exactly like what you will expect from Kodak gold or fuji superia. The only one that has a difference is the redscale films, which will produce an orangey-reddish tint but then again it is also possible to use normal film to produce redscale effects - it is just exposing the wrong side of the film.
Lomo effects are created based on a confluence of several factors, the camera itself plays a very important role, light leaks, plastic lens that lead to soft and unfocused pictures, vignetting etc. Processing plays a part as well, cross-processing (people usually only x-pro slide and not negative unless you push during developing else it will turn out pretty dark/washed out) will bring out different 'effects' though not all are very pleasing to the eye IMO. Hope this helps.

That is only if you are referring to the Lomo negatives. Their slide films do produce whacky results when xpro-ed.
Hahaha, yup yup, that's very true!
