Lomo's new ' hand -rolled ' Kono film.

analoguey · Jul 20, 2015

Got a mail that these are now available on the site. Has anyone used/heard of this before? Or know what they're hand rolling?

I think they just released them, new product.
Unless we have Lomography test subjects here we'll have to order some.

As cinefilm DIY user I could tell you for color it seems to be fancy rebranded cinefilm and nothing else.

But it comes in a paper bag!
I do not like 24 exp in c41. Just adds cost in processing.

I am starting to kind of like Lomo's film. I am shooting a roll of Earl Grey 620 in my Kodak Monitor 620. The price is certainly good for re-rolled Kodak film.

I haven't tried any of their color film options so I can't say whether I like it or not.

I am still glad they are out there pedaling it though. It may just be recycled stock but it is keeping people interested.

Thanks, Darko. I thought it would mean different when it says hand rolled film.

Hmm yea. Buying and rolling your own film seems better -but what's 400iso cine film? I don't think there's an existing Colour cine film.

Don't think, read the info for this film "Color Negative Effect Film, based on motion picture film stock"

"Most of the source materials are no longer in production, so each KONO! film is rare and may very well be the last of its kind. All KONO! films are spooled by hand, due the nature and the small amounts of the materials. Please expect really small production runs."

Such marketing hype...

9/10ths marketing, 1/10th real value. They're targeting the "isn't expired film cool?" crowd with this - folks who want something deliberately non-repeatable because any happy accidents they create are "hip".

Anything shifting film awareness and product is good in my books.

If you noticed the closing tag at the end of my comment, it was poking a stick at the cantankerous attitude I was expressing. I agree it's good to keep people interested in film - I just don't see selling people ends of rolls that they can't buy again if they like the look as benefitting film long-term, though.
