First ever roll of 35mm film

I took these shots in November 2023 with a Sprocket Rocket that I impulsively bought. The roll of film then sat in the camera until last week when I finally decided to have it developed. I wasn't expecting great results since I had no idea what I was doing. I've always loved grainy black and white images, so I went with Ilford Delta 3200 film. I'm in love with the results and can't wait to shoot more!

I also shot a timelapse at these same locations with my Super 8 camera (visible in the city skyline shot), which can be seen here for anyone that's interested.

Unable to publish

Hi, I am new to lomography and today I tried to upload my first roll. After uploading photos on the page the publish button is greyed out. Am I missing something?

I received 2 rolls of lomo purple for Christmas, any tips?

Hey!

I received 2 rolls of lomo purple 35mm and I'd really like to make the best of them.

I have a Pentax K1000, can I use them in that camera, or must it be used in a lomo-specific camera?

Any tips on what shows lomo purple's colours best? Foliage?

Just to be extra certain, I can send these off to be developed by any film developing studio thay does c-41, right? I don't have to send them anywhere specific right?

Thank you so much, and I'm feeling super inspired by this subreddit!

Longshot Plea

My husband threw away the box for my Lomoapparat with all the accessories in it. Is there anyone willing to sell their lenses? I live in the EU and would pay for postage as well.

Lomo instant sanremo issues

Hey all, really confused and need some help if possible.

My lomo sanremo has worked for exactly 1 photo and besides that has had issues. The light at the back will either not come on at all or flash red once before stopping. I am using 4 AAA alkaline 1.5V batteries as stated in the manual but they don't fit in the camera snugly and are still loose in the compartment no matter what I do. I believe I am installing them properly as directed on the camera. It almost feels that the batteries aren't all able to touch both connectors.

Would really love some help if anyone has fixed this issue.

Cheers :)

Do i take all pictures with flash?

I got the LomoApparat as a gift and my previous camera had a shutter to activate the flash, but this one is always on. Can i take pictures even in daylight with it?

Understanding Focus Range - Lomo’Instant Automat Glass

Recently picked up the Lomo’Instant Automat Glass and I've been able to get a few good shots out of it (I'm new to this whole thing), but I'm struggling a bit understanding the ranges I can shoot at, and the settings to use for that.

So the camera has three ranges (or whatever the terminology is):

0.3m (11.81 inches) 0.6m (23.6 inches) and Infinity

I've played around with different shots at these distances and I'm just not sure I understand. Like, for closer pictures, is it really that close? It seems wild to me. Like being 1-2 feet away? If I do try it i feel like I'm doing something wrong as the pics don't feel quite in focus.

I'm pretty sure it's just user error.

Thoughts, tips, advice? Thanks in advance.

Black photo problem with Diana F + Instant back

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Diana F + with instant back. Then I bought instax mini films. However, after testing, I'm getting black photos. Is this due to light infiltration inside the film cartridge? I can't find any examples similar to my problem. Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Mya

Lomo LC-A viewfinder light question & help needed.

I have USSR built LC-A (ASA setting). With no film loaded. When I press the shutter button partially the left hand viewfinder light will illuminate briefly. If I press further, firing the shutter, the same left hand light will illuminate constantly when the shutter button is held after shutter firing. But the brief illumination is when the film winder is advanced and ready to shot. My question is will the metering function normally in this state or is it considered broken?
