I love Lomography film. I love all of it. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without them! They are the only large scale company creating unique film stock that is reliable. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s just been my experience so far. You guys know I love Lomography LomoChrome Purple and LomoChrome Turquoise film, but I’m also equally as obsessed with their standard color film stock. The colors are incredibly vibrant and realistic, with surprisingly natural skin tones. It’s one of the most affordable film stocks out there, particularly if you buy in bulk. The only downside is that sometimes its hard to find. But when it’s available, I always stock up. I would say Lomography Color Negative film might be the film that I use the most out in the real world. When I’m shooting weddings, portraits, events… anything where I know my client doesn’t want me to get too crazy with my film stock.

I took a roll of Lomography Color Negative 35 mm ISO 400 film with me to Portugal and tried it out in my Nikon FE2. I have a full blog post and YouTube video about the Nikon FE2 because I’m obsessed with it. It’s the best 35 mm film camera that I own. The photos are absolutely stunning. I recommend the Nikon Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4 lens because it adds a level of surreality and magic to the images due to the wide aperture capabilities. I love a good 50 mm lens. There is something truly special about them. They create images that are intimate and dreamy but that don’t look too outside of reality.

I wanted to share my full roll of Lomography Color Negative 400 film that I took with my Nikon FE2 in Portugal so you can see what this film is capable of. You can also check out my YouTube video that I made from our trip to Portugal here if you’d prefer to watch rather than scroll. :) I can’t believe I almost left my Nikon FE2 at home for this trip because I was already planning on bringing so many other cameras! Thank goodness I didn’t, because these might be some of my favorite images I took on that trip. Lomography also makes this film in ISO 100 and ISO 800, but I prefer the ISO 400. :) If you’re looking for more film recommendations, make sure to check out my blog post about all of my favorite 35 mm film stocks here.

In my experience, you can’t really go wrong with any Kodak film. It’s affordable, sharp and reliable. If you’re like me though, you probably want to have at least some idea of what you’re getting yourself into before purchasing film for your camera. So I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos that I took in Japan using Kodak GC/UltraMax 400 Color Negative 35 mm Film. Of course, depending on the camera you use, your images will be slightly different in terms of exposure and sharpness. I was pleasantly surprised by the bright color tones of this film and the full, deep saturation. Before using this film, I hadn’t really heard much about it. It’s not one of those films that people talk about like Kodak Portra or Kodak Gold 200. But I found the tones to be true and accurate, with beautiful handling in the shadows and in bright environments. I found the skin tones to be lovely as well - not overly orange or off-color. We had quite a few cloudy days while we were in Japan and the 400 ISO allowed me to get sharp, bright images in lower light environments. I actually find this film to have a cinematic vibe to it too that I wasn’t expecting!

I used a Nikon FE2 for all of these photos, which is an amazing camera. You can read more about it on my blog here. Or you can watch my YouTube video about the Nikon FE2 here! As you’ll see, I took quite a few multiple exposures with this film and I’m obsessed with how they turned out. There was great detail in the highlights and nothing ended up over-exposed, which is always great if you love creating multiple exposures like I do. :)

I’ve included a ton of sample photos below using Kodak GC/UltraMax 400 Color Negative Film so you can get an idea of how the film handles in various lighting situations and distances. If you have any questions or comments, please share!
