Warmer tones and a feeling of nostalgia
This is my favorite film stock to shoot and it’s larger grain paired with its color grading give photos a nostalgic framing. I think it also gives a vibrant but natural look to greens and nature shots if that’s what you’re into. Night shots with flash turn out wonderful as the saturation packs a punch and leaves wonderful contrast with the darker parts of photos too!
Amazing in sunlight
I am absolutely in love with this film. The colors really pop when the sun is shining. Lomo 400 will have your back in a variety of scenarios.
Fantastic all around film
Considering how expensive a lot of film is getting in general, but especially Kodak film stocks, Lomo 400 is now my absolute go-to color film. Really fantastic exposure latitude and beautiful color saturation. It seems to be very flattering on skin tones in particular and has a dreamy, sparkly sort of quality that really enhances photos. I now choose to shoot this over Ektar, particularly because Ektar HAS to be shot in bright daylight but also can be hard to find. Lomo 400 is much easier to shoot, has similar saturation, and is often cheaper and easier to find. Win-win. I am shooting on a Pentax K-1000.
