Great review, I’m a big fan of this film, even if I tend to prefer the first version that was going more into the deep purples and violet colors, where the new one goes more in the pink direction…but anyway, great film for landscapes and nature (the more green you have, the more purple it will get) but indeed, the new purple allows some interesting portrait shootings as well.
A few examples of landscapes I shot with the “old” purple (in the very green archipelago of the Azores) https://www.lomography.com/homes/vicuna/albums/2384974-purple-azores-1-fuji-ga645

In reply to VTScoot. Why would you not simply order the film directly from Lomography via their website?

I really like the Lomochrome Purple. I was gifted a roll last year and was really pleased with the way it rendered natural scenes when I shot it at ISO 100 (to get the most purpley goodness outa the roll). Looking forward to shops having 35mm rolls in stock again… someday.

I like how these photographs feel and are real, I am sure if I would visit those places I would know they are the same. Digital filters, like a polarizer, are hard to get it in a way that still feels like a photograph and not like a digital image extracted from a photograph; there are many little details that hints that something is amiss or lacks coherence. I read some persons use, if I recall well, an orange or yellow filter to change a bit the colors.

Don’t think this is the film for me. some results are interesting, but often it just looks like something went wrong. I’m happy to see others experiment, but I’ll stick with continuing to try and master “normal” films 🙂

I tried a 35mm roll, deciding to treat it as 200 ISO in an unmetered Nikon F. I liked the results on architectural details but not so much on landscapes. I think it was because the fences/gates/doors could really be any color, whereas grass, leaves, well . . . green. I have another roll I plan to take out soon.
