Really liking these Fantome 8 images. I picked up a roll a while back but have been a little afraid to shoot it. I'm assuming these are all pretty much wide open, right? Any tripod shots?
Look around in this forum, Huss was using som ISO 8 and 12 films. A tripod is recommended and incident metering could help. Have fun an post a few.
Unless you’re Huss who probably doesn’t own a tripod.

I would suspect he owns 24, each bedazzled & plated with a different precious metal

TY.
Fantome 8 is actually Ilfotec ORWO DP31 - it says so on the film rebate! DP31 is an ISO 6 film, so I rate it at ISO 6 not 8. I think the only reason Lomo calls it 8 is to pretend it is something new... Same with their Babylon 13 film which is actually ISO 12.
No tripod shots! Just shot wide open. It actually takes very little effort to use in daylight - sunny 16 = 1/8 sec @ f16. Which corresponds to 1/250 @ 2.8 in bright sunshine.
I could have stopped down a bit, but the fun here is to shoot the Lomo Minitar 32 wide open where it shows it's most cr@ppy I mean artsy smeary traits. For me the point of this film is to shoot wide open with whatever lens you have in daylight, and just go with it.

I recently posted pics shot on Blue Ultra ISO 3 film, and Slow Your Roll ISO 1.6. Both these films are meant for copying documents, repurposed for dopes like me who just like to use weird stuff. Cuz - we are already weird enough by shooting film in this digital age!

Shot on Slow Your Roll ISO 1.6:
I do recommend an auto exposure camera as it just makes things simpler at this point. But there are only a few that you can set the film speed that low. Leica M7/R9 Nikon F6/N80 to name a few can be set there using min setting plus dialed in exposure compensation.
Totally recommend it. And it is 'only' $9 roll/36.
Of course you can buy 300 ft or whatever of it bulk as the Orwo labelled stuff, then roll your own, and save a buck or two per roll... (as the curmudgeons on photrio would say even though they never actually take pics anymore).
But I like the convenience of knowing I have properly rolled film, and can buy a handful of it when I want it and not wonder what will I do with the remaining 250ft...
What is interesting is it behaves exactly like an ortho film - reds become black - but Lomography says it is a panchromatic film.
I've only developed it with Cinestill DF96 Monobath so have no idea what it will look like in more normal developers.
