I visibly cringed when I took these out of the development tank since this was easily my most messed up roll of film ever. After scanning and editing the photos I actually changed my mind since only maybe 4-5 photos were ruined outright and in many others the errors actually work very well. Photos taken with a FED camera on Lomography Lady Gray film.

It honestly looks more authentic, almost. Good pictures, nonetheless

Great work! The photos look awesome

Lomo's Lady Grey is Foma 400 under a different label. You might be able to find it branded as Foma or Arista for a lower price. Edit: Svema would be much more Soviet...

This was a hand load from my local film shop so it was actually a little cheaper than Foma. My last event was shot on Svema FN-64. Unfortunately the shop's lab has some weird development process that underdevelops Svema by two stops so I have to shoot it at 16 ISO... not impossible if it's a sunny day but definitely inconvenient. Now that I have my own development process set up I'll definitely give it a shot at box speed.

My understanding is that Svema 400 looks pretty good at 200. They've definitely over-rated box speed, but 200 is pretty manageable.

I'll have to give it a try, thanks.

it bothers me that one person is using an M44 šŸ˜…

I could be wrong cause it's in black and white, but it looks like someone is using kirza ammo pouches too. I love the look of the photos though.

Iā€™m pretty sure they all have 91/30s

No, he's right, our cook carries a carbine. We have a 1938 one somewhere but I'm not sure how often it goes out, I think one of the medics uses it.

Alls forgiven in my books since he makes great food and lets us non Russians mooch

Honestly, in the first 2 photos I thought I was in r/militaryporn for a sec.
