What are people’s feelings on lomographys 400 and 800 colour film? Specifically in 120. I did read that the 800 was more of a 400 speed.
 
It's claimed that the 400 at least is made by Kodak and is the same formula as the VR T-grain emulsion we all got excited about back in the day, the first range of fast films without intrusive grain. I liked it then, but haven't used the Lomo version (though now I'm intrigued to try it).
 
Lomo 800 is my goto colour film for lower light (400/800) because it's cheap (for fast colour); the colours balance more nicely (i.e. less pp needed for me) and the grain is very fine for 800. The images I've taken have suffered when under-exposed, but when the exposure is good, it lights up.

Would heartily recommend over Portra 800 by a mile, and as they do bulk 3 packs in 120, I'd choose it as a 400 "circumstance" film for 120 too.

I was thinking of getting it over the 400 and using it at both 400 and 800. I’d like a trial pack of the 100, 400 and 800
