Photographing Budapest with Lomography Metropolis in both 35mm and 120! Plus comparing the new v old Metropolis formula.
First half is a video of our time in Budapest, exploring different parts of the city. Second half is me talking about the film and sharing some of the old formula images I have compared to the new formula that was updated in 2021.
Lomography kindly sent me Metropolis in both 35mm and 120 format to test out while I was traveling to Budapest. This video/review is my own words and thoughts though and is not sponsored. I do really love the Metropolis film and the results that came from this trip! So thank you Lomography!

The 35mm roll was developed and scanned by Polagraph in Prague. The 120 roll was developed and scanned by Analogue Wonderlab in the UK. I didn't edit past receiving the scans.

Love metropolis in bright daylight at 200, definitely a cityscapes emulsion. Cool shots in Budapest.

@Eclectachrome Год назад

thanks!! Oh cool, thanks for sharing how you shoot it :)

@JamieMPhoto Год назад

I really like Metropolis. I find it a bit easier to blow out, but possibly with a more lively color pallet. The reds definitely pop. Great shots!

@Eclectachrome Год назад

thanks Jamie! I noticed that especially on the 120 images, but yeah love the reds too 😊😊

@NunoAlmeidaPhotography Год назад

Outside of their color negative lineup, I think Metropolis is definitely my favorite one. Beautiful shots, Molly! 😊

@Eclectachrome Год назад

Thanks Nuno! Nice - have you tried Turquoise? I'm just about to shoot my first roll and super curious how its gunna turn out!

@NunoAlmeidaPhotography Год назад

@@Eclectachrome Not yet! From the results I’ve seen, it looks awesome! I said Metropolis, but I also really like Redscale! Have you tried it?

@Eclectachrome Год назад

@@NunoAlmeidaPhotography I have! Didn't have great results but also I don't think I shot it to the best advantage haha would love to try again though!

@acecreates Год назад

Great video Molly! Haven't watched for a while. Love the classic music in the background too. What a beautiful city. Love the shots..not sure if I love metropolis though

@Eclectachrome Год назад

haha that's okay! we all have what we like and not :) Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the music!

@AlexLuyckxPhoto Год назад

Out of all Lomography's false colour films, Metropolis is my favourite. Especially in urban settings, it just makes everything look good! I personally liked the image of the Tram the best! Excellent all around!

@Eclectachrome Год назад

thanks so much! Agree with you 100% there 😊😊

@ZoaLove 27 дней назад

Oh you we're in Budapest. I cant wait to get Back there again. Its great for photography ❤

@Eclectachrome 26 дней назад

it's such an amazing city!!! i'd love to go back :)

@srad. Год назад

Looks like you got some awesome shots!! I have my first roll of this loaded up right now, so this makes me excited to see the results.

@Eclectachrome Год назад

thanks!! oh awesome yayyyy, would you share them on a video? Have fun shooting!

@thefilmdaddy Год назад

Oh man Molly Budapest looks incredible and so does Metropolis actually! So interesting to see the differences between 120 and 35mm maybe cause they were processed by different labs, but very interesting to see the differences. Will have to pick up a roll of Metropolis, and I didn't even know Lomography had its own social media site! That's crazy!

@Eclectachrome Год назад

It's one of my favorite cities I've shot in!! Yeah think the 35mm from the lab in Prague was so warm and then 120 was a bit more like what I'd expect metropolis to look like. Lomography's social media is very underrated!! It's a little more like Flickr than Instagram, but I like it more than Flickr now :)

@thefilmdaddy Год назад

@@Eclectachrome Even though it's been through ups and downs - IG is becoming less and less relevant by the days! It's so good to see so many new places for photos popping up.

@rick-deckard Год назад

Very cool! All of these remind me of my Cross process rolls from the early 2000's.

@Eclectachrome Год назад

Cool! What film did you cross process?

@amy4561 Год назад

Really cool shots!

@Eclectachrome Год назад

thanks loveeee :) :)

@ceticmilan Год назад

I adore Metropolis. Definitely my favorite color film. Corvinus University photo is excellent, river boat was really nice as well. But you should photographed in the area just north of Keleti train station. Metropolis shines when used in slightly ruined, not so brightly lit urban environment

@Eclectachrome Год назад

ohhh well have to get there next time! I really want to go back, the few days there wasnt enough for me haha I agree with that!

@thebiblioholic 10 месяцев назад

Your 120 photos looked the way I expected them, but your 35mm photos in Budapest seemed a bit warmer/browner than I've seen.

@Eclectachrome 10 месяцев назад

yeah definitely - i like the warmer look but they aren't typical of metropolis - I think the lab warmed them up a bit - got them processed at polagraph in prague!

@MattHooker Год назад

I've only shot the old stuff, and definitely like what I've seen of the new stuff better. but my first roll of metropolis I also shot a roll of Kodak Pro 100 which I bleach bypass processed and did a side-by-side. different copies of the same camera and lens, identical shots, estimated metering for 200. the bleach bypass roll performed so much better in my opinion. however, bleach bypassed film is a lot harder to scan cleanly. but I do like lomography, and in fact today my preorder of turquoise from almost 12 months ago is supposed to be delivered!

@Eclectachrome Год назад

ohhh exciting about the turquoise! would love to hear more about your bleach bypass, what did you use to do that? and what makes it harder to scan, the residue? very interesting :)

@MattHooker Год назад

@@Eclectachrome for BB I just underexpose by a stop then in dev substitute the blix with cinstill F96. The negative comes out rather dark as if fogged, so it's harder for the scanner's light to pass through. The final result is a high contrast, low saturation, grainy photo that still has better dynamic range and less grain than original metropolis.
