Lomography Color Negative 800 ISO Review | All About Film

Lomography Color Negative 800 is a standard, rebadged, major-maker color film. I exhausted every lead I knew to find out who makes it and could not get a firm answer. In fact, it's distinctly possible that different makers have made it at different times. In the two years that I spent taking photos with the film, the performance characteristics changed somewhat with the photos from the stock I purchased in 2016 performing better than the stock I used throughout 2015. So whether this is Kodak, Fuji, or some other stock, I can't say with certainty. What I can say with certainty is that Lomography Color Negative 800 is fun; it's good to use in low-stress and experimental situations; and it's a great option for learning color negative film use. That said, at some point most photographers will want to graduate out of it and into advanced films like Kodak Portra 800. For what it is, Lomo is successful and good, but it's unpredictable with results that don't always turn out well. Here are some metrics from the two years I shot with Lomo 800. Twenty-one 35mm rolls (about 760 frames) Twelve 120 rolls (around 135 frames) Four 35mm rolls were unusable due to poor film performance. Six 120 rolls were unusable due to poor film performance. Seventy-nine 35mm frames turned out well enough to use in this video. Twenty 120 frames turned out well enough to use in this video. Those are VERY low hit rates compared to previous AAF videos in this series.
