The Ugliest Film Ever!

Looks interesting! I have a soft spot for funky, "ugly" films. I should snag a roll or two and run it through my Autocord some time.

I think it succeeds if you're going for that "early" photography look.

Agreed.

Looks like ancient, re-spooled Aerial film of some sort.

Marketing: Taking pigs ears and turning them into silk purses...

It´s better to boil them in salted water. and and eat with peas. accompanied by a large beer. It is traditional here in Lithuania. Not eating mystery film, but pig ears.

I really don't have to buy this new "UGLY" film since I get those same results with my normal film and process.

Fresher and better stored Lucky 1021/3/5 can be found on TaoBao, all of my developed examples had a completely clear base, but the film already isn't good without your fog problem.

It suited the Sprocket Rocket okay, even though mine can't hit infinity.

Here is some development details:

I’ve thought about buying lucky aerial film (and yes it is actually Lucky aerial film, not Shanghai). You can find loads of it on Chinese domestic markets for cheap, 61m for $50-60. Even larger 5” rolls, up to 1,000 ft for $150-200… 1021 dated 2015 looks like a good bet, but I just haven’t pulled the trigger on 35mm yet. Still trying to find someone to forward it to me.
