@JonnyRobbie2 жыл бұрын
My theory is that since redscaling basically throws away all emulsion nuance anyway and is just for memes, Lomo doesn't care about the emulsion consistency of their redscale batches, so they flip whatever is nearest in their warehouse, be it their Metropolis or Color or whatever.
@atticdarkroom2 жыл бұрын
That's the conclusion I'm leaning towards. From my experience redscale looks pretty much the same across different emulsions, so this wouldn't suprise me.

When you really want to compare a stock I would highly suggest shooting at least one frame of a calibration chart with the same lighting conditions, though I know that's not really as much fun. If the three rolls weren't from the same pack I'd have said it looked like Metropolis redscaled. However, due to the film base not being puke coloured in the other two maybe that's less likely. Or, and given how slap-dash their quality control seems to be, I can see this stuff as being a pile of factory seconds that they just loaded in backwards and it's whatever was in the pile at the time, be it 400, Metropolis or whatever else was going spare that month.
@atticdarkroom2 жыл бұрын
I've been meaning to buy a color chart for a while. Definitely would've helped out. And I agree with you, from my experience redscale looks pretty similar across different emulsions, so it wouldn't surprise me if they use overstock stuff or "lightly aged" stock that they have laying around.
@jayc61702 жыл бұрын
Came to the comments to suggest the same. It would make more business sense to throw whatever film is cheap and available into a red scaled package to resell, since I imagine the customers for this sort of film, in it's prepackaged form, aren't expecting consistent or specific results. This is one of those "joys of the unknown" films really.

The top layer on colour film is sensitive only to blue light and contains a coupler which causes a yellow dye image to be produced when the film is developed. Under this are green and red sensitive layers with couplers which form magenta and cyan images. After development a bleach bath removes all silver, leaving just the three dye images. The green and red sensitive emulsion layers are also sensitive to blue light so under the blue layer there is a filter layer which blocks the blue light from reaching the other two layers. If the film is exposed through the base this filter layer will prevent any blue light reaching the blue sensitive layer, so no image will be formed in this layer. The red and green sensitive layers will also receive exposure to blue light which they wouldn’t normally see, and the light will pass through the red and green sensitive layers in the wrong order. This combination of changes is what results in the red image. It’s similar to the way that cameras which print the date on the film do it in a red/orange colour since this is exposed through the base of the film.

@mgouat2 жыл бұрын
No effect is unlikely. Most B&W film has an antihalation layer and base that is not clear, so there would be some speed loss. Some antihalation layers have a color, so they probably would change the color response somewhat. Shooting through anything than air usually lowers the contrast. Personally I would rather get some cheap filters. As a bonus you can draw on them with a marker or smear them with fat or wax.

You can flip B&W film and it would mostly look normal. You're still shooting through the base so some light loss and color filtration (if the base/mask has a color cast) could happen, but it's most likely very subtle and you probably wouldn't notice any difference. With that said I haven't tried it myself, just seen other people accidently load their 4x5 holders wrong. So I could be completely wrong.
