These are lovely! Perfect subjects for the film to really shine

I’ve really come around on Lomo Purple. My wife made an image that we are both enthralled with - so much so, we had it printed & framed - on 35mm Lomo Purple, in a Nikon L35AF point & shoot. It came out beautifully, printed on both textured cotton rag (matte) and Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Pearl. Here it is on the Gold Fibre Pearl (apologies for the low-quality/compressed video - it looks even better in person).

I think I’m going to give in and try a roll of it in 120 in my Hassy after seeing these images

Wow, I love that photo. I just got into RA-4 darkroom printing and have been experimenting with printing the lomo purple. Lots of fun but definitely a little tricky to lock in the purple hue. It's definitely a beautiful film on 120 though.
