Lomography created 3 different LomoChrome stocks over the years – Turquoise and Purple, which are very recognizable due to their intense color effects and is the type of film you would want to save for special occasions or experiment with places you’ve photographed many times before. The Metropolis is Lomography’s newest version of LomoChrome film. The Metropolis has a milder color effect, making it more of an everyday film. Metropolis desaturates colors, mutes tones and yields more contrast. It has amazing exposure latitude which allows you to shoot it from 100-400 ISO.
