It's one of my favorite films too for all the reasons you state above. That's what I like about the film resurgence. There are all sorts of funky emulsions to try, things that I wouldn't have considered back when all photography was film photography.

I really like Metropolis film and sure wish it hadn't gone up in price. It makes new things look old and old things look older. These are a couple of photos I've shot with it recently. All shot at box speed with no corrections. The Darkroom did the developing and standard scans. These were shot with my Nikon N75, Olympus XA2, Pentax 928M, and Pentax Zoom 90WR.

Nice sets of photos from both of you . I like the muted tones of these , I'll most likely give this film a go .

I'm always wary of Lomography's films as there not very well described . it seems a gamble to buy off them as you have no way of knowing what the results will be .
Some are clearly marketed as non-standard film ( colour shifts etc ) others seem like they might be "normal" but possibly with a character of their own , like the shots shown here .
But when you look at the sample images , some are really terible , so I avoid the film . In fact it's probably not the films fault , but could be caused by light leaks , bad developing , bad PP on a computer later and so on .
The only film I've bought off them because of this is the Orca in 110 , basically because your options are limited in 110 !
This is ridiculously gorgeous!I wish I could remember what camera I used to take this picture. By the time I got around to developing the film, I'd forgotten. This is the interior of an old Willys flatbed truck that was rusting away on the property until someone finally got around to hauling it off. I think rust and Metropolis are good friends.

NIce pics, what camera did you use for the Pano's?
I'm expecting my first rolls of metropolis next week and the all the pics in this thread are making me impatient to get out and shoot.
Am I the only one who is irritated when I see "chrome" - as in "LomoChrome" - used to label a negative film? But I guess breaking conventions is part of Lomo's business plan.
I see on their <website> the film is described as "2021 LomoChrome Metropolis" -- so apparently different, somehow from a pre-2021 version? Can we assume the photos being shown here are all from the newer version?
Mine was from the 2019 formula. I think the new version is meant to be more saturated.

Not just you. Chrome is chromogenic or slide film, a colour positive image. Great colours, narrow dynamic range.
I bought and used several rolls last year. Interesting stuff, but I'm not sure I'll buy anymore.
