That's kind of incredible to get from HC-110 B.

Indeed.

I assumed it would require something super dilute or even a custom developer to get usable contrast on such a film

It still might benefit from your TEA recipe for handheld shooting at a slightly higher ISO.

With $22 shipping it's not much use to those of us who aren't in the USA.....

You asked where you could find them and I gave you the answer. I spend extra $$ often to get things I need shipped from other countries. Maybe order several rolls to make it worth the shipping?

Best of luck to you,

Jeremy

I think my point was missed.

Even if there are other low ISO films, their availability is low compared to the worldwide Lomography distribution of this new product.

The nay-sayers are saying "what's the point, there are similar products already"....but they're more difficult to get hold of. Anyone in any country will be able to order from Lomography, some physical shops will carry it and many will special order it.

Sorry, I took it differently and literally. My bad.

I personally have nothing against Lomography - anything that keeps people shooting film is good. I bought a Sprocket Rocket from them awhile back mainly just to support them (to be fair its kinda rubbish and after two rolls I'll probably never shoot it again but that's OK) and I've bought a bunch of film from them.

Yep I was given the Lomography Konstruktor kit 35mm SLR a few years ago and it's quite a fun little camera. Certainly not the highest quality but I made it with my own hands and it can actually take decent photos. Their regular CN film is great and often good value. I'm not into their special effects films but I know people who like them....and I am always mindful of the fact that they did a lot to keep film in the public eye. That Konstruktor camera gets a couple of rolls through it every year.

For $7 a roll I’ll be staying with Kodak and Ilford. Thanks.

That only makes sense if it gives the same look as your Kodak or Ilford film.

You do know it is very different than what Kodak or Ilford offers, right?
So I don't understand how you can cross shop them.

This showed up today:



Already loaded a roll into my F4, wonder how it will develop in DF96...
Very cool. I will be interested to see some results. Does the package give recommended exposure index and recommended developers? It's great to see someone experimenting and supporting a new product.

I sometimes wonder why I bother posting on here. I genuinely thought a new, low ISO film might be of interest to some on here.

I find it interesting, so Thank You for this thread and your news.

I'd like to see what this film can do in pinhole cameras using Sunny 11 (16?), as well as colour correction filters and extremely long exposures, using ND filters.

It'll be nice if they put out some 120 as well, so I do no have to use 135 in the pinhole cameras I have now.

Cheers!

Half way down the page Lomo lists developers, and actually shows examples of how the film behaves in them:
https://www.lomography.com/magazine/343958-mastering-the-new-lomography-fantome-kino-b-w-iso-8

And on the film roll itself there is a bar code thingy that you can scan to take you to development instructions.

Lomography. Love them or hate them, I love them.
I never sold any of their films but I processed loads of them.
They kept my C41 processing machine busy as well as the B&W hand processing.
I was even on their list of labs before they started offering their own.
Fashion or fab, who cares if it gets people shooting film.

I love it.

Unlike the examples on Lomo's website, this film is very fine grained, very sharp, and has a wicked punch! It almost acts like an ortho film.

Shot with a Nikon F4 in matrix mode at box speed, 50 1.4D (many shots were wide open), Cinestill DF96 Monobath developer.
