We have been having an awesome time scanning our old negatives using the Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner and just came across this great app called ‘Helmut’. It’s specifically designed for scanning film using your Android phone and is a perfect match for scanning your negatives together with the Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner. Also, the LomoScanner App first test version is now readily available in the Google Play Market and we are working hard to improve it!
The Helmut App Works Great With The Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner
Everyone loves scanning negatives – whether it’s from your personal archives from the golden age or freshly developed shots. And we recently found a great new app to help scanning your negatives using the Lomography Smartphone Scanner and Android phones. The Helmut Film Scanner App by CodeUnited. is specifically designed for scanning film. By pairing the app with the Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner, you can easily convert your existing negative films into positives for sharing and uploading online.

The LomoScanner App: Test Version Now available for Android Phones!
We know you’re really excited to digitize those old negatives dug from Nana’s storage chest, and we’re proud to announce that the very first version of the LomoScanner App for Android Phones is now online. We’d sincerely appreciate it if you’d give it a spin! We’re constantly working on improving the functionality and we’d love to hear your feedback on the app’s first run. What additional features would you love to have? What improvements on the current functions would you like to see? Hit us with a message in the comments section so we can try and accommodate them!
Whilst we’re busy improving the LomoScanner App for Android, we think the Helmut App does a very nice job at scanning your 35mm films together with the Smartphone Scanner in the meantime!
Hi, I've been working with the lomoscanner app for the iPhone. It works very well. But I think there are a few features missing, for example:
- Buttons to darken or enlighten the scan
- While scanning a normal color negative film, the result has often a blue or green tone, which is very unnatural, because all of a sudden a normal color negative looks like an X-Pro Slide, if you know whatta mean ;) Maybe there are also buttons needed to find the right colours (inverted or not) to then finally scan it the way the user of the lomoscanner has it in mind. :)
I hope this comment is a feedback for the android version of the app too :)
I'm very disappointed with the results of the lomoscanner. Colours never turned out right & quality is bad. I'm not sure if that's the issue with the app or scanner. Is there any guide in your website on how to make it better?
Earlier this year we were chuffed to launch a very memorable type of 35mm film: the Lomography Color Negative F²/400. We had recovered it from the last ever supply of an Italian filmmaker, and stocked it for seven years in special conditions. Much sought after for the film's nostalgic aesthetic, beautiful blue tones, with hints of X-Pro character, the F²/400 35mm rolls flew off our shelves like hotcakes – and rapidly went out of stock worldwide.
Summertime will dawn us soon and we analogue photographers have already prepared for our next trip and journey across the world. Here are a few reminders to consider when bringing your rolls of film.

You may already know Kamila K Stanley, young photographer and vivid globe-trotter.
