Film Recommendation

I'll be getting a lomo LC-A for my birthday in a couple of weeks ("What? You want a camera that deliberately takes bad pictures??" - The Missus [philistine :rolleyes:

]). I've got some Vevlia 100 to try some cross processing but would like any recommendation for some nice warm C41 film. I seem to remember Kodak film being a touch on the warm side? Or should I just stick with Superia?

Cheers,

Mohain

As we're on the subject of film anyways, I'm just about to order some Kodak Elite - I should be able to get this processed at normal labs, right?

Technical sheets says to process E6, so you'll be OK.

For a lomo I'd stay away from slide film, as the metering will not be accurate enough, you may get a good shot, but you would probably have to bracket to make sure you got at least one decent exposure.

Do you still get a large lateral range if you process slide film in C41 and make prints?

Thanks Dfhaii. I also read that you should overexpose by 2 stops when cross processing but when I asked at the mini-lab up the road he said to expose normally (when processing E6 in C41) :confused:

I tried it the other way, cross processed C41 film in E6, over exposed by 2 stops, and they all came out ... over exposed

I guess I can only try and see what happens
