Lomography has a new film emulsion–sort of.
In some very recent news, the company announced their new Cine200 Tungsten film. From the name and the coloring, it sounds very similar to what was done previous by Cinestill. Basically, it involves unwinding rolls of Kodak cinema film and repackaging it into a 35mm still film casing. We wouldn’t really call this ripping it off; instead we’re more about embracing the experimental happening that may occur in the right creative’s hands.
In fact, Lomo is completely clear about this. According to them,
“This emulsion is an authentic cine film, which has been specially treated so that it can be used in your 35mm film camera. What this means: it will yield phenomenal photos that look like stills from a movie! Itâs convenient too, because this Color Negative Film can be processed normally in C-41.”
And as a result, it’s a limited batch of only 4,000 rolls.
Working with this film will indeed be tough for many though. Since it’s Tungsten, then you’ll need to work with a very warm light source to equalize it on the color scale.
We’re in the process of calling in a couple of rolls for review; so just stay tuned.
