Lomography Metropolis C-41 Color Negative Film

One great photo after another. I really do like Metropolis. Too bad it's so pricey now.

Thanks! It is a very interesting film to use.

Wow. I really like the last one!

FYI all my pics are on the original 2019 formula. I bought a bunch when it was released via the kickstarter as it was much cheaper then. I have not tried the new formula yet.

Great shots. That film just does something so nice. I’m sure it’s a matter of taste, but the washed out colors do it for me.

I see that Lomography only has the 2021 formula now. I have no idea how that compares with what you have. I’ve only shot the ‘21.

I think the name “Metropolis” is spot on for this film.

My impressions: Grainny film to the extend of affecting sharpness, very good overexposure latitude, kind of weird but still decent color balance with strong tendency to green, and, the most obvious, very low color saturation. I am curious to see how this film behaves on a cloudy fay.... could be something interesting that I can use for some idea I have in mind.

Old thread, but regarding that tendency to green: I've been researching the Samyang/Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 online and it's definitely a lens with a greenish cast - so I don't think that's something coming from Metropolis.

My feeling is that Metropolis may have ended up as Lomo Color '92, after an iteration or two. There seem to be some similarities.
