Lomography’s 30th-anniversary birthday celebrations continue with the announcement of a new color film! LomoChrome Color ’92 will be available in 35mm, 120, and 110 formats. With an ISO of 400 and wide exposure latitude, Lomography says this film can be used for a variety of applications and creative expression.
“A highly versatile and deeply distinctive film, at 400 ISO LomoChrome Color ’92 is suitable for use in all lighting conditions and the characteristic colors leave a subtle hint of nostalgia in the air. With a powerful film grain, this enticing emulsion appears soft and mesmerizing in the sun and brings a subtle, painterly look to your photos at dusk.” – Lomography
The color-negative film intended for C41 chemistry processing is new to the LomoChrome family but only as a limited edition. Lomography says due to the handcrafted nature of the film, no two productions will be the same but they promise to continue delivering and experimenting with future film productions.
Color ‘92 can be pushed or pulled and still retain a good amount of information. The film has a cooler pastel undertone while reds and yellows will pop.
“Produced using a unique color layering process and a one-of-a-kind color palette, this special construction works in harmony with the film’s rich grain structure for a burst of retro charm and classic analogue character.”
Lomography was created in 1992 in Vienna and has dedicated itself to experimental analogue photography. Through sales of film, cameras, lenses, and accessories, the team aims to help film photographers capture the world around them with creative gusto. Popularizing the Instagram hashtag #heylomography, the company has been instrumental in keeping film alive through the past couple of decades, especially the 110 format. At the moment, they are the sole producer of this mini film format. It’s great to see another color option for 110 film shooters.
“1992. What a time to be alive! The Berlin Wall had fallen, the Cold War was over and a whole generation was ready to break free. Fashion was daring, the music iconic and everywhere you looked creativity flourished – so much so that it’s still inspiring us to this day. The world was changing. People were breaking barriers, pushing boundaries and there was an unstoppable lust for life. Whether jumping around to the sound of Kriss Kross or rocking out to Nirvana and the smell of teen spirit, it was a time to feel alive. During this time of rebellious spirit, Lomography was born and a unique film recipe surfaced. Now, we’re bringing that unforgettable energy to the modern-day film shooter. Introducing: LomoChrome Color ’92 ISO 400 film. With accurate colors and powerful film grain, capture the limitless, intoxicating vibe of a time when anything was possible and join the analogue revolution!”

“Lomography says due to the handcrafted nature of the film, no two productions will be the same.” What kind of nonsense is this? Are they just buying up end-of-run scraps from whomever and re-packaging it as “artisanal”? If you don’t know what your film is going to do, how can you control your results? These people have no respect for the CRAFT of photography.
hey Bud! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂 The thing I find about Lomography and other more experimental film brands is that its not about controlling the results so much. Their audience is not about having everything as predictable and consistent as Kodak or Ilford. We all define our own craft of photography, what craft means to us, being an artform, its subjective and open to different interpretations of what craft is, who is to define this and place limits on what is and what isn’t?
Serendipity ! Look it up.God knows I had plenty of duds when using film but had some quite remarkable & unexpected results when they came back from the lab.With digital I’ve never gone beyond having a quality compact which do I do enjoy using, but at the end of the day my lovely Pentax SLR is going to see some film action again.
More film coming to market is always excellent news!
absolutely!
I think the images from this film shown here are great.
