Dubblefilm · ISO 200 Color negative
Dubblefilm Stereo 200
Stereo is the Dubblefilm roll where the tint changes as you shoot. The original version, announced in March 2019 as the first Dubblefilm + Revolog collaboration, used a hand-applied red-to-blue gradient across the length of the 35mm strip. The first frames came out heavily warm-shifted, the middle ran through magenta and lilac transitions, and the last sat firmly in blue. Whichever frame you fired at any given moment was a small lottery against the tint roulette underneath.
Dubblefilm reissued Stereo in 2025 under their continuing Revolog partnership with a refined version of the same approach: the red-to-blue gradient still spans the roll, but the middle transition zone is more pronounced and the canisters are now DX-coded for use in compact cameras. If you find one labeled "new generation" it is the 2025 reformulation.
The base stock is Kodak C-41 color negative at ISO 200. Meter at box speed, process anywhere that handles standard color film. Compared with the rest of the Dubblefilm line, Stereo is the most aggressive in terms of color saturation per frame. The new generation version particularly leans into a magenta-cyan split that hits harder than anything in Lomography's tinted lineup.
Where it works: portraits in flat light where the dual-tone effect adds dimension; urban frames with mixed artificial lighting; anything you want to look like an album cover from 1983. Where it fails: anything you want to look real. The film is a creative choice, not a neutral document.
Available in 35mm only, 36 exposures per roll under current Revolog production. The pre-2025 version of the film is now out of production but still surfaces on the secondhand market.
Reciprocity exponent is 1.2. Zone Light Meter applies the correction past one second. A metered 10-second exposure becomes roughly 16 seconds at the negative. The tint sits independently of your shutter time, but underexposure still pushes shadows toward mud, which fights the look. Lean slightly long when in doubt.
How the app handles this stock
- Box speed: ISO 200. Picker exposes pull/push chips so you can shoot it at any speed you want and the meter follows.
- Reciprocity: Above one second the app raises metered time to the power of 1.20.
- Expired film: if you load an old roll, set the expiry year and storage in the app and the ISO scales for you. Color negative decay rates are baked in.
