How they look
- LomoChrome Color '92
- Retro colour negative with grain and hues meant to evoke 1990s consumer film; a 'Sun-kissed' warmer variant followed in 2024.
- Ultramax 400
- Kodak's affordable everyday colour negative, available worldwide in drugstores and supermarkets. Delivers saturated, warm-leaning colours with a characteristic punch that works well in bright daylight. Moderate grain becomes visible in enlargements but adds pleasant texture. A popular choice for casual shooters and those looking to experiment without the cost of professional stocks.
