The Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100 is a slide film and was introduced in summer 2010. It is sold by Lomography and is only suitable for analog 35mm cameras, like Lomo LC-A+. As with all film from Lomography, this film is not made by Lomography, but produced by another manufacturer and sold by Lomography. At the moment, the X-Pro Chrome 100 is most likely still an Elite Chrome from Kodak. It was introduced as a successor to the Agfa CT Precisa 100, which was very popular with Lomographers.
This slide film can of course be developed normally (in E6), but cross processing in C-41, as the name suggests, is recommended. With this you get saturated colors and strong contrasts without large color shifts. When cross developing and using the Lomo LC-A+, you should try to underexpose the film by one stop. So instead of ISO 100, set the setting to ISO 200.
The Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100 is available in a pack of three with 36 images per roll. There is no medium format version, like the Lomography X-Pro Slide 200. Those who want bright photos and saturated colors should take a look at the Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100.
It was discontinued by the Vienna-based company in mid-2012.
There is no real alternative to the film, but you can reach for the AgfaPhoto CT Precisa 100 or the slide films from Fujifilm if you are looking for a slide film to cross.
Sample photos
These sample photos were taken with the X-Pro Chrome 100 and the Lomo LC-A+, and then crosschecked in C-41, and scanned with the Canoscan 9000F (eBay / Amazon*).
The following pictures were also taken with slide film, but developed in the regular E6 process. The camera used was the Olympus OM 2 with a 50 mm f/1.4.
The following photos were taken with an expired roll (5 years past MHD) of Lomography film and Olympus OM 2 SLR camera. The film was developed using the C-41 process and scanned using the Canoscan 9000F.
