Rendering colors reminiscent of infrared film, Lomography's LomoChrome Purple Petillant Edition is a unique negative film designed to produce false colors with an overall purple hue. With this edition of the film, depending on your scanning setup, you may see some tiny black dots appear in the lighter parts of your photo. This ISO 100-400-speed film responds well to overexposure by up to 2 stops, which can be used to control the amount of color shifting within the scene. Beyond the surreal color effects this film provides, it is also contextualized by high saturation, fine grain, and notable sharpness.

Q: 5. Do you have any information on this films reciprocity characteristics when used for long exposures like in astrophotography?

A: Per CineStill: “ We do not currently have a published data sheet regarding reciprocity failure compensation. For very long exposures in very low light some other variables come in to play such as the accuracy of the light measurement. This means that some trial and error may be required. As with all color negative film, it’s usually best to err on the side of giving the film more exposure to create a denser negative with more information for color correcting when scanning or printing in the darkroom.”

Q: 8. I work at a photo lab and today I got two rolls of this kind of film. The emulsion is on the wrong side. Every roll of 35mm film I've ever seen has the darker, smoother side on the outside or in other words the same side as the print on the canister it sits in, these rolls I developed today had the emulsion facing the wrong way. Is this film always like this? I have personally shot a roll of the purple lomo and it is oriented the same way as all the other 35mm films I have seen. Is this a fluke or intentional? If it's intentional what would be the purpose for it to be that way? Thanks.

A: It's purposefully rolled that way. The film is redscale because you're shooting through the back of the film.
