I recently purchased a triple pack of Lomography Redscale 120mm film for £5.00 which had expired back in 2012.
I’ve shot redscale film on my 35mm film camera’s before but thought it would be fun to test out on my Lubitel 166B camera during the daytime.
Here are some photos I took using a roll of the film:
The rescale wasn’t as ‘red’ as I thought it was going to be but I wonder if that was because the film was several years old. Instead, I thought the pictures had more of a Sepia tone to them. I also note that the film states to have an ISO of 200 for super-intense red and orange colours and ISO 25 if you want to mix additional tones of blue and green to the image. The Lubitel doesn’t have a light meter but from my previous use of the camera and the weather we have in the UK in the winter, I tend to shoot the Lubitel with a shutter speed of 1/125s and an aperture between f/5.6 and f/8.
Either way, I think the Sepia tone works quite well with the garden images I took.
Great tones, seems to suit the Lubitel size negatives. Another film I’ve never tried.

I agree, the tones look quite good with those size negatives. Would be great to see your photos if you do try out this film 😊

For £5.00 it was worth experimenting! And I think your results are cool. I have yet to shoot redscale, but I do have some hand spooled Fuji 200 in the fridge. Maybe next month since February is officially Red Scale Month. 🙂

Thanks Shaun 😊 Hopefully you’ll get chance to shoot some redscale and I look forward to seeing the photos if you do 👍
