Thanks for the nice comments. I love using traditional films - HP5, Portra, TriX etc. It's just pretty darn sweet that Lomography gives us these options for a different look.
I try to keep an open mind about this stuff. But I do get why people bitch about the marketing hype. Like, I tried Cinestill 800t after everyone raving about the halos and the look -- I hate it. HATE it. Looks like crap to me. I mean, I just don't get it. Feels like I was sold on a special effect and it's like the worst thing ever..
Did you scan it yourself or used a lab? It's a tricky one for both labs and DIY...
I really like Cinestill 800T, but I stopped buying it after my last few rolls came to me with light leaks from the factory...
hah -- that's worse than halos.

@pentaxuser IIRC Henning said that Metropolis is their own design, the only in-house developed and manufactured emulsion they sell.
Lomography just answered me that new Lomochrome Metropolis will be available in 120 somewhere between spring and summer of 2022.
As for the other "special effect" films....actually I might try something like a redscale or other skewed colour palette in 120...again because I can see myself shooting a few frames in the right circumstances but not 24 or 36. And while I have lots of cameras, I don't like leaving a film loaded for months...thus putting that camera/body out of use for other applications. The other films with stars, streaks, smileys etc as sold by Lomography and Dubble don't do anything for me but I'm all for them existing for those who enjoy using them.
Looks like Inoviscoat is getting closer to having a solid c-41 film. I almost choked when I saw the price though.
Exactly. For me, this is the most important part of all the announcement.
