Lomography Film

Red scale film is created by winding the film backwards, so light exposes the emulsion through the back of the film base rather than the front. This bypasses the blue-sensitive layer, resulting in the signature warm, fiery color palette of reds, oranges, and yellows.

Because the film is inherently experimental, you have flexibility. Metering at ISO 50 will yield more intense, saturated red tones, while shooting at ISO 200 will result in a slightly more muted, contrasty look. We recommend bracketing your first roll to see which sensitivity best matches your aesthetic preference.

Yes. This film uses the standard C-41 color negative process, which is the same chemistry used for almost all color film. You can drop it off at any professional lab or local shop that offers standard film development.

Yes, it is compatible with any camera that accepts 120 film. Keep in mind that the number of exposures you get per roll—typically between 10 and 16—will depend on the specific format your camera shoots, such as 6x4.5, 6x6, or 6x7.

No special filters are required. While it performs beautifully in natural light, it is particularly effective on overcast days or during golden hour, where its inherent warmth can transform flat lighting into something much more dramatic and stylized.
