Lomography Lomo 800 - Film Gallery

Comparing this to Portra is quite a stretch in my opinion. Apparently this is the same film found in kodaks 800 disposable fun saver cameras. I think its much grainier than Portra and I get a noticeable green yellow cast. Shadows are muddier. Its OK but I don’t like how its priced like a “professional” film when it performs like a budget film.

Really loved this film, the colors are beautiful and rich, shot my photos with the Holga 120N and was very surprised by the results!

I honestly just got this film to try out all of the high speed options that still exist, but boy am I glad I did. This legitimately might be my new favorite film stock. I love the versatility of being able to use it in almost in condition with great results. I’ve only had one issue with this film, and it’s not even in all of my shots, but it’s something to mention at least. Sometimes when shooting early in the morning (pre/during sunrise), I’ve gotten a fairly strong green cast in my shot. It’s never been anything I haven’t been able to edit out, but it has happened. I’ve also noticed that it doesn’t usually happen with my SLR, but the couple times I’ve shot it in my Point and Shoot it has, so it could be something with over/underexposure, I’m not sure. Overall, I would still give this film a 9/10, I absolutely love it.

I guess if you like prints that look they they are 50+ years old and faded, this is your film. I shot 2 rolls, had them processed by 2 different places and got the same results. Every photo had a gold/yellow cast. Deep dark ocean blue looked green. Every image had a vintage look, which is OK if that’s what you want. I have one roll left that will probably spend the rest of its life in the refrigerator sadly waiting for me and a desperate moment when I need a roll of film and it’s the only one available.

A great budget friendly film. Nice colors and contrast without being over the top. Decent latitude, usually rate it at 400 or at box speed. I especially like it in 120.

My favorite 35mm film for portraits so far. Skin tones look very natural and pleasing. Using it at box speed.

Highly versatile film for the price.I shot with it overexposed in the daylight and shot with it extremely underexposed in the night, and the images turns out great, it has an extremely forgiving latitude for a film priced as such. You won’t find any other 800 speed film that wallet-friendly, and gives you a contrasty punch that is pleasing to the eye. Highly recommended!

I haven’t had any problems with this film. I shot it at 200, 400, and 800 and developed at 800 and results were great. Overexposes just as good as Portra and is drastically cheaper. Only problem is finding it.

Do you want the wonderful contrast of Portra pushed, but don’t want to spend the extra money on both Portra and pushing? Than get Lomo 800. It has a wonderful natural boost in contrast, wonderful colors, and it is the most versatile film I’ve used to date. I think it performs even better in mixed lighting than 800T. Whether it’s portraits, street, life/family, or night time exposures, this film can do it at all and you’re gonna pay less than if you bought Portra 800. I like to rate it at 400, metering for the shadows or midtones and develop normally. Love it both in 120 and 35.

Great color and saturation that is pleasing for portraits, but the film (in 120) has a tendency to get light leaks near the bottom and top of the frame. Might not be the best option for professional work for a client, but if you don’t mind that light leak look, this is a great film.

Strong and forgiving latitude, which is nice when you’re working quickly and liable to make creative choices accidentally. Beautiful grain.
