Lomography if you're reading this, we want sheet sizes!
Yes!
Hell yeah. Bryce for president.
Absolutley please give us an affordable 4x5 option🙌🙌🙌
Yes ISO 100, 400, and 800, and all Lomochrome film.
@@GeoffT650 Foma 100
I love Lomography's film offerings, and I love that they seem to do better than any other company right now at understanding the industry can be a partnership and we have to embrace that against the do-it-alone corporate competitive mentality. It's how we will be able to have viable color film in the immediate future and pad against Kodak's ups and downs.
I’ve shot a lot of the Lomo Purple and a few roles of the Turquoise when was available. I have enjoyed both emulsions and will be preordering more Turquoise soon. I completely agree, they make photography fun and I’ve been shooting film for almost 50 years.
the fact that they released a new version of lomochrome metropolis today makes this theory even more posible
I love that stock so damn much. I wonder what this new version will look like.
@@thesecretlifeofmichal cool to see someone else from the czech film comunity here!
@@jancestr1054 I'm not even sure, if I'm supposed to switch the language now, but "zdravím, já bych analogové cvakače v mém okolí spočítal na jedné ruce, haha", good to know there are some more!
I love the randomness of Lomo films ... there is a "happy accident" aspect to their films, but it is freeing to not expect the same every time ... similar to the wacky world of instant film, especially Polaroid ... been through every edition and name change!!!
Aside from those special quirky films, the normal 100/200/400/800 iso color negatives made by lomography actually provide a pretty decent image quality.
Especially the 800 one, it's like a magic having such fine grain and excellent sharpness on a high iso film.
Their recipes are top-notch.
I love Lomography's films, I gave them a chance and they speak to my artistic style and aesthetics. I wish they would do more 110 films, and higher ISOs.
I'd just tell Kodak to fuck off if lomography made 1600 or 3200 iso film
The analog photography patrón has spoken! As always thank you so much for keeping analog photography alive!
I love Lomo800; I'll probably keep buying it as a regular film stock for my 120 cameras :D
I’m glad Lomography makes 110 film (Tiger 200)! There are many pocket Instamatic cameras (including my Kodak Pocket Instamatic 20) back in service giving us lots of fun. I would love to see Lomography bring back 126 Instamatic film! There are Millions of 126 Instamatic cameras out there waiting to be used. Can you imagine?? I have 7 ready to go if 126 film were made available again. I can dream, can’t I? ☺️
Gotta give some props man, I've been following you for a while but I love the use of tube lights that you've shifted towards.
When photography came along it set painting free. No longer did painters have to try and portray reality perfectly. We got the impressionists and all that stuff. If you wanted an accurate likeness you could make a photo. Now digital has set analogue photography free. If you want "perfect" go digital. Analogue is free to be something different. Character over "quality". Kodak is still in the age of perfect, repeatable results from when analogue was not an option but a requirement. The future is something different.
THIS IS A GOOD INSIGHT.
Kodak, it never surprises me when they don't be on top of trends to make money. It's almost like they can be counted on doing the opposite. Of course what we call Kodak now is a different Kodak from decades ago. Good video. I like what Lomography does.
Maybe Lomo should promote the different “vintages” of film, like wine. The same/similar recipe each year but with subtle changes (often by happy accident). I think it could be a lot of fun and probably a marketer’s dream. If they like/want this idea, I don’t mind taking payment in film. ;-)
That's the strategy. They turned toy cameras into a niche product-and then charged accordingly. The fastest way to sell freezers to photographers is to tell them a favored film will now be discontinued. Lomo can speed this up by announcing only 200K rolls will be made of their almost-Fuji 4 layer color film. And then discontinued with a roll countdown clock on the ordering page. This can turn a batch of film into a product like Prada or a designer clothing line that changes every season or year.
Love the idea!
Oh my God...Bob Ross happy accident film!!!! YES!!!!😂
I love Lomography 400 and 800. Just finishing my first boxes of their 120 film and now have 3 boxes coming, 100, 400 and 800. Its so exciting to shoot it in my Pentax 67 :D
I have only tried Metropolis so far, but I love it for street and cityscape photography so much. It's so unique and it blows my mind.
Love the lightsabers in the background :)
I think also that Kodak may fall from favor for other reasons as well but definitely Lomography I can see having a good future and people are always looking for something different and new to differentiate so this can be a positive with the inconsistency or changes between batches.
Lomography CN 800 and 400 are just great film stocks, and I use(d) them with 135 and 120 film. As I'm doing mostly 4x5 at the moment, I don't have the opportunity to currently use them, but I'll be back using them the moment I'll pick one of my other cameras. The quality is not on par with Kodak stocks, but they are close enough to just accept the issues that can come up.
my favorite leica lens is the lomo LC-A MINITAR. these guys not only save the film industrie with the Lomo but change complitely the game as we are not looking for true color or precise image anymore. Thanks lomo.
I like Lomography films, have shot some Lomo 800. It's an affordable option with its own unique look however, if the prices increase approaching up to Portra prices (as in Japan where I live) I won't be so interested. So Lomography, please stay affordable!
I’d struggle to even call them “affordable” now tbh, a roll of 800 is around £11 here in the UK now which puts them in the Kodak price bracket now
Yes, I love tu shooting on film with the Lomography 800.
Nico knows. He might not be able to tell us right now, but he KNOWS.... people, businesses, secret sources... he probably even knows your mama. Keep on thinking free Nico!!! Love your videos!!!
I am learning a lot with your insight videos. Thanks
waiting until spring again to use my lomopurple
mientras siga Nico promocionando la fotografía analógica, esta tiene esperanza !
Hahaha, gracias!
they killed it with Metropolis looking for new type of stock hope they make more color negative since Fuji abandoned us :o
Watching this video is funny to me. I stopped by my local camera shop yesterday to buy that same pack they had.
Hi Nico!! I really enjoyed the content of this video, as usual. Please keep this great content coming out, we all enjoy this !!
If I might add, however, just a personal bit of constructive criticism....the big "X" lights close behind you. It makes this very difficult for me to watch.
I can see what you're going for, it adds an interesting graphics look to the frame and looks great on the thumbnail....but to me, it is just too bright and I had to watch most of this
with my eyes averted or closed. I tend to watch RUclips mostly on my large computer monitor, or in the evenings on my 65"- 72" OLED Television screens....and that brightness is just too bright to stare at for long periods.
Anyway, maybe its just me...but thought I'd offer a suggestion to maybe do a different configuration with not having bright lights directly behind you that occupy such a large part of the screen, or tone the brightness down, etc....it might be difficult on other viewers too.
Anyway, again, meaning this to be constructive....and I really do enjoy and value your content.
Have a great day!!

i love the look of lomography
I think Kodak should stay as the high end film brand, but if they get an "off" roll, they should partner with companies that pride themselves on unexpected variations. Lomo is the first one I can think of to do that, which inevitably helps keep Kodak alive too. As far as fun goes, lomo purple is a riot! I actually like it a lot!
Great video!
Greetings from Germany
Thanks!
Lomography is actually the only film I use. I love it.
This is so cool.. Anyways, what rumor is it considering a new film stock from Kodak??
I love the lomo 800, and I don't mind of it's not consistent, as I am not even consistent in the conversion stage 😎
I like Lomography and I try to support them as much as I can. I also like Foma very much, and shoot quite a bit of their film. Kodak can go to hell.
Might get stone thrown at me but I just don't really like Portra.. Lomo films are my go to, 120 and 35, hands down. Thanks for these videos btw, always nice to tune in
hot take especially in today’s film world but i wholeheartedly agree, portra just doesn’t do it for me
Lomography sells their rejected test films to us at a premium price. I'll take my Kodak films, thank you very much.
I have only seen 10 seconds and I had to laugh out loud. You threw that lomography pack like a true Swedish Chef from Muppet Show 😆
Do you think lomo will ever dip it’s toes into large format. I dream of the day I can shoot metropolis on 4x5
Lomo simply can't compete because they are underleveraged. They don't produce themselves but simply outsource to others. Meaning they will never compete on price. Kodak's price hikes will be passed to Lomo as well and with Lomo often being as expensive or sometimes even more expensive than the Kodak and Fuji counterparts I will simply not see an option for them to compete. Expect a Lomo price increase soon as well.
Like some others, Lomo just scavenges the scraps and cast-offs of other producers. They market, but they do not manufacture, so they will never be a foundation for the future of film photography, thank goodness. Like Cinestill, they give access to film resources not previously, commonly available. Also, like Cinestill, they are wholly dependent on the manufacturing decisions of others, and they can never be low cost or a bargain, because to make any real profit, they have to charge more for their "products" than the company which made them. This only works where they sell something in a market where the manufacturer chooses not to compete. Their curse is that if they develop that market, the manufacturer can then cut them off and take it over at will.
@@randallstewart175 Exactly. Anyone who thinks different is lying to themselves.
@@randallstewart175 If Kodak had 2 braincells left they would cut their Lomo's 100, 400, 800 repackaged Gold films and start selling those at 120 sizes as 'amateur' alternatives to their portra films at 60% the price of their pro line film. Shoooo that will make the industry happy like hell
Kodak do the two market division, with its "professional line" the problems was that all the 120 film is only professional and no consumer. This added to the price increase of the consumer film like colorplus... Results in a very sad situation for the consumers...
Lomography is the peoples champ
Toma aire Nico! 😁 buena reflexion, as usual
I've always felt like Lomo is a bit overpriced, well until recently. It's less sustainable over time, but I like the Film Photography Project's stuff. A lot of that is just found film they package and sell, though they are very reasonable for standard films.
This is genius!!
Interesting take on Lomo, making film fun. You're right monopoly isn't good! Lomo film is still reasonably priced. I do like Lomo for pinhole very much
well, I've been using a lot Lomo 400 color negative and I'm super fan of it.
I thought it sort of a known thing that Lomo 400 and 800 were kodak films with some rebranding.
But yeah, it does seem they are thinking on a long term for film industry and that is really cool
I will keep shooting using Lomo 400 - the price is still 'good': a box with 3 120 film cost me €20 which is still a good thing
Where do you buy at that price?
@@JoseJulioCuairanGarcia here in Belgium but they ran out, as you might expect at these prices :)
I’m always asking if one day Kodak (or fuji) decided to stop production and sell their factory’s if some group like Lomography will take the opportunity like the imposible project. It’s my last hope
Unfortunately Fuji has already shown a hesitance to sell this equipment. Impossible tried to buy some of it a few years ago if I recall correctly. Unsuccessfully.
Bravo to Lomography for all they have done. The only think I don't like is when expired film backing paper prints on the film. If I am in their shoes I would work to find the way for the new film to get away from silver based emulsion, to other kind, to be made a lot cheaper to shoot and process - the only way to really give analogue a boost.
15 euros in shipping charges to Spain... Mmmm i think im not ready for this prices.
maybe lomography should develop their version of remjet-less cine film
I hope that Kodak is making some money from those Lomo films that they’re lending/giving (????) to them
Lomography if you listen this can you also sell bulk roll film please and also for 24 exp 35mm option please
I've never shot Lomography film and I don't really plan on doing so in the future. It's just not the look I want. That said I don't look down on anyone that does shoot Lomography film. To each their own. They're keeping the developing chemicals flowing at my local processor.
Well Kodak sorta has there fun cheap film. Kodak color plus 200, it was cheap and a decent film. But it would be nice if they had a 120 version of CP
Unfortunately KODAK Alaris was never interested in photography. That company was just an agreement to pay the pensions of the old KODAK company.
Color film has a bad future if it depends entirely on Lomography. Interestingly Adox announced a new color film today, and what is more interesting, the intention to have a durable product for enthusiasts. That is the way.
Nice neck hairs. :D :D :D Thanks for the video. This is good because Kodak may no longer be an option for me.
First company to offer affordable color film will dominate the film market moving forward. Great opportunity for somebody with some capital and know how to start manufacturing color film and be the new Kodak of this generation. Opportunity continually slaps Kodak in the face and they never seem make the right business decisions.
Monopoly is okay but not if it’s controlled by one person or corporation. If it’s publicly owned and open source then it will allow for the greatest development and advances because the creative and scientific talent is not spread amongst competing companies.
I hope you are correct about that. For me, at least, Lomo is just a gimmick at the present time. If I want to play around or experiment I grab my digital cameras and use my 40+ year old lenses and just goof around.
changed the quality ... away from grey. more abstracted
👍👍👍
Technically (regarding the machines Inoviscoat have for coating) Lomo colour film will never be as good as Fuji or Kodak. Same for Ferrania. Anyhow it is a good to have a film that can be called at least "decent". More choice is better.
It's good but it's quite expensive so....
From what I have seen their color is way off.I don’t believe I would use it.
The more players we have the better
Lomography stuff reminds me of all the dud shots I threw in the bin back in the day before digital came along.
Ferrania is the future
Think of a fork that has its teeth bent in all directions; just because you're different, doesn't mean you're useful. Sure it's nice to experiment from time to time to have fun and get weird results, but random variations in emulsion and the lack of quality control is not a basis for good professional conduct, not even for "toys". Make different films with different defects but consistent. If you're gonna make a low quality product and sell it at a premium, then that's a scam, not a business. Then again, people are weird as we can clearly see.
