2.0 out of 5 stars Some Nice Results, But Not Without Serious Problems, January 26, 2010

This review is from: Lomography Black & White 100 ISO Negative 120mm Film (3-Pack) (Electronics)

Purchased this three pack from Lomo's website (Amazon and elsewhere are cheaper). The first roll I shot had serious difficulty winding and the frame numbers are extremely difficult to see - even in good light. When loading the film on the spool for processing I noticed how flimsy it felt (verses Kodak film which is all I had processed at this point). Once I scanned the Lomo film I noticed a ton of scratches. This is in part due to my Lomo Diana F+ which seems to scratch about everything I've shot so far, but this roll was even worse. The resulting images where very contrasty and had a nice grain (maybe a little too much for 100). I liked the shots that turned out - some have an almost "vintage" or "classic" look to them.
The real issue I had is this - the other two rolls tore in the camera. After loading the film and advancing towards the first shot the paper backing ripped apart. This happened on one roll then on the other. I guess I could have attempted to use the film and advanced past the first shots - the fear of the whole roll having been exposed and potentially wasting time and losing images kept me from doing so.
Again the roll that turned out yielded some great contrasty and grainy images reminiscent of old school black and white photography. I am not buying any more of this film based the lack of frame number visibility and the fact that the other two rolls ripped apart in the camera.

I had two problems with this film when I used in conjunction with my DianaF+ that I don't have with other film providers: 1) The black backing makes it very difficult to see the frame number. It's easy to go past a frame, which wastes film. And 2) The film was difficult to wind. I don't know if that factor was the reason I had scratches on the developed film, but I suspect that it played a role.

This film is nothing more than repackaged, priced hiked film from a company called "Shanghai". Film sold by the Shanghai company sells for $2 a roll, so if you really want it, search ebay... That's about the only place to find it in America.
