Re: Minolta Maxuum/Dynax/a-7 and Lomo400 film

Thanks for posting these .

A nice set of shots with good colours .

Apart from the B&W ORCA 110 film ( with 110 film , you take it or leave it , camera doesn't work without film ! ) , I've always been reluctant to buy Lomo film as it's never been clear to me what to expect from it .

The sample images don't make it clear if the (bad) results are from light leaks from the camera , bad/incorrect processing , both chemical or when scanned on a P.C , or the film is made to have weird colour shifts etc .

This film is clearly capable of taking nice , "normal" shots .

I take it that the fil used is this one ; https://shop.lomography.com/en/lomography-color-negative-400-iso-35mm-3-pack ?

.

EDIT , just to add ; I was after buying some more colour film a few weeks back and my usual choices were out of stock where I usually buy from .

So I had a look on the Lomography site while I was looking at the Instax Wide 5x4 back .

they seemed to have stock in , but because of the sample images of most of the films I chose not to buy . simply because looking at them it seemed impossible to get "Normal " shots from them  .

Most of the samples tend to show their film as very low quality , so thank you for showing this is not necessarily the case .
