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 .

Thank you.  I've had experience with Lomo100 and the 400. The 100 is almost impossible to find so I've switched to Kodak Pro100 until I can get some.  Just finished shooting a roll of Fujicolor400 and the colors straight out of the camera are inferior to the lomo400.  However a couple of people who remarked on the film said they shoot the fuji at 320 with much better color rendition.  The film you indicated in your post is the one you see here.
