Films for the Lomo LC-A 120
Photographic films are exposed in the Lomo LC-A 120, more precisely medium format films. There are still some producers for this film format. Possible films for the Lomo LC-A 120 are the Fujifilm PRO 400H* for color photos and the Ilford XP2 Super* for B&W images. Both films give solid results with the Lomography camera. In addition, there are other films that can be used with the camera. For example, Lomography itself offers some medium format films that can be used with the LC-A 120.
Both photographic films are developed using the C-41 process. This process follows a fixed sequence and standardized photochemistry is used. It is offered by most professional photo labs. The development cost of medium format film is usually slightly higher than that of 35mm film.
The Lomo LC-A 120 exposes roll film with images in 6×6 format. Usually twelve images fit on one roll of film. The film has to be transported manually.
