Those look great.
I have finished my first role of Lomochrome Metropolis using a Rollie35T, manual control the built in meter needs an odd battery and I manage without.
I must say I like the colour ambience of the film. Obviously not great for skin tones but the big surprise was in bad weather. Naturally I tested most of the film on a sunny day, but at the end a couple of shots were left when I took it into town fo processing, and it was raining. Now those two pictures look great. One in rain obviously, the other with the sun still shining. Bradford and Leeds Liverpool Canal earlier this month.

Yes I agree There is a kind of muted look to these that I like but it may also be the kind that has newcomers from the digital world asking why their film is "wrong" and did they underexpose or underdevelop?Those look great.
Was this the old formula, or the new 2021 formula of Metropolis? I’ve not yet used either version, but the results you’re getting appear much more saturated than other examples I’ve seen of the film online. Do you find that exposing at 400 makes the difference?

I.. Once the weather clears up a bit and I can go outside without getting dumped on with buckets of water, I'll shoot some outdoors stuff, and maybe do some studio portrait stuff with flash to see what that looks like and update this post with that.
A link to another topic on Siberra where there is a Kodak, Siberra, Lomo Metropolis comparison. https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/silberra-color-films.186604/
OK, I've finished the roll of Metropolis I had in my camera. It's "OK" if you can accommodate/compensate for the added contrast in the red and green channels. I'm not wild about the skin tones though.
No offense meant, but you're completely missing the point of this film if you are trying to adjust/correct the colours and tones of it.
Just grab a roll of C200!
I'm not missing the point of anything, just making basic observations. Color is interpretive. I didn't say anybody had to do anything, and if you actually look at the images I posted, they're not corrected, and don't render anything like a regular C-41 film.
Here's some 120, rated at 200. Subject: Amal the Dancer. Mamiya RZ67 with 90mm and 140mm lenses, Speedotron 2400 watt second pack and head, Photek Softlighter II (large) to camera left and feathered; scrap sheet of white seamless taped to wall on right for bounce. Also a bit laid on the floor in front of the subject for bounce. Straight scan from processor, no editing afterward.
With the limited color palette, the 2 pics from wasabi look similar to hand colored prints. I like the look, but long for someone to make a revival film that's even somewhat close to the old Agfa Optimum line.
