Lomography Processing???

Luke G

Just wondering what's the ins & outs of getting film processed that was taken on a Lomo Camera, Just got one recently But don't know much about the Processing side of things,

Are there only certain places in Dublin that develop the film?? And surely you will have to ask whoever you're leaving it in with to 'cross process' it???

Thanks In Advance;)

''lomography'' is a loose term to be bandying about there - you have some of the 35mm lomography branded film, yeah? what type of film is it that you have? is it colour negative/print film - it should have C-41 on it somewhere if it is. Any photo shop or pharmacy that develops film will be able to develop C-41 film for you. dublin peeps will be able to direct you.

if it's colour positive/slide film you have, it'll have E6 somewhere on it. You have the choice of getting this developed as a slide film, ie developed in E6 chemistry, what it was intended for, or you can get it 'cross processed' - which means developed in the chemistry ususally used to develop C-41 film. I assume that's what you meant? that cross processing sometimes/always/usually gives you different colour casts that are synonymous with the 'lomo' look. photocare on middle abbey street do E6.

That's exactly what I'm after mate yeah, The Cross Processed Lomo look,. was also looking online at some of the different films popular with Lomo ie redscale etc, was just wondering how to go about getting them processed like would I have to ask specifically for them and the normal 35,, colour film to be cross processed for the different colour casts etc,

C-41 - normal colour negative film - can't be 'cross processed' though. i'm aware of the lomography branded ones that are green/blue/red scaled - those colours are ''built into'' the emulsion on the film base - you just process them as normal C-41 film, never used them myself though. expired film will sometimes give you nice colour shifts - though it has to be well expired, there's a few flickr groups dedicated to expired film, it'll give you an idea.

Yeah the camera I bought is the 'Sprocket Rocket' basically takes Panoramic type photos but with sprockets on top & bottom was just wondering how that would work before I go taking any more.

ooh nice one. i've been eyeing that up but there's a few things ahead of it on my current to-buy list. although developing won't be an issue, most labs won't be able to scan the film in such a way that the sprocket holes are included though - bear that in mind.

Feck that anyways, It's all I bought it for...

I think Gunn's on Wexford street should be able to do it and maybe the place on Abbey street.

Thanks for that mate, Cheers....

I've seen stuff on display in Gunns shot on the 360 spinner so they are capable of scanning it anyway. Not sure of the price.

use a flatbed to scan

You can cross process neg film in E6 chemistry.

i recently got b & w lomo film from their website. its colour negative film but it dosen't say c-41 on it. Will normal chemists and photolabs still process it does anyone know?

What brand is the film? What does it say on the cannister?

its lomo's own 'grey lady' b & w negative film.. on the cannister itself, not much. just the speed & the name of the film.. no processing details

It requires development in B&W chemistry, not C41 which is for colour negative film.

Earl Grey is apparently Fomapan, and Lady Grey is apparently kodak t-max 400, at least according to ...

Though they probably package up different films depending on where they are and what sort of bulk deals they get from the various film manufacturers. And then of course add the 50% hipster tax.

Gunns on wexford street'll do it for you. And then sell you better film at much lower prices
