Lomography LomoChrome Metropolis

Lomography's cinematic colour negative designed for urban and street photography. Produces heavily desaturated, cool-toned images with a distinctive film noir aesthetic—greens shift toward teal, reds become muted, and skin tones take on a unique character. Can be rated anywhere from ISO 100 to 400, with underexposure pushing the desaturated look further. Best suited for overcast days, concrete environments, and photographers seeking a moody, editorial look straight out of camera.
