Yes. 35mm film is 35mm film. However, there really isn't anything special about so-called "lomography film". Its just 35mm film, probably made in China and of dubious quality, packaged as "lomography film".

If you're serious about using your Nikon 35mm film camera then invest in some quality film like Kodak Ektar 100 or Fujicolor Superia Reala 100 for color prints or Ilford XP2 Super, ISO 400 or Kodak BW400CN, ISO 400 for black & white prints.

Lomography 35mm Film

35mm film is 35mm film - there's no such thing as 'lomography' film. The lomography name came from the original manufacturer of the camera, but it is commonly now used to refer to the blurry, unevenly exposed images that were typical of these type of film cameras (they have cheap plastic lenses and the plastic body is often not entirely light tight so light leaks in & exposes parts of the film). There is no difference between the film used in lomography cameras & 35mm - it's all the same.

RE:

Can I use 35mm lomography film on a non lomographic camera?

I have a nikon and it uses 35mm film can I use this (http://www.amazon.com/Lomography-35mm-36-800-ISO/d... film?

The look from "lomographic" cameras, is mostly due to the inexpensive plastic lens. While film may play a small part in the look, you won't get similar results by running "lomographic" film through your nice, sharp Nikkor lens.

If you want to get the lo-fi photographic look, you need to get a lo-fi camera.

( I prefer the term lo-fi over Lomography, because Lomography is a brand, and there are several different companies making lo-fi cameras)

Take a look at one of these 35mm cameras:

Holga 135 or 135BC Similar cheap lens and operation as the Holga 120 cameras. 1 aperture setting (yes, the camera has 2 settings, but they are identical), 2 shutter settings, N (1/100 sec) and B (Bulb setting) tripod mount, cable release socket If you want the corner vignetting like on the larger format camera, get the Holga 135BC.

Superheadz Black Slim Devil

This is a clone based on the popular vintage Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. It has no exposure controls and no flash option, but with it's wider than normal lens (22mm) it is capable of taking some outstanding photos.

Sample photos: There really isn't a good Flickr group for these cameras yet, so the sample photos are from the Vivitar UWS http://www.flickr.com/groups/57074580@N00/

The Diana Mini

Lomography took the Diana camera, and shrunk it down to 35mm format. The Mini, while it lacks the interchangeable lenses of the full sized Lomography Diana+, is still a feature packed camera (at least compared to the Holga and Black Slim Devil). The frame format is unusual. They stuck with the square format of the Diana camera, but it is centered on a standard 35mm frame. The reason for floating the square on the 35mm frame is that be using a standard 35mm format, most 1-hour labs will be able to more easily deal with making scans or prints, since they are set up for regular 35mm film. You can also set the camera to half-frame 35mm, which is 2 vertical 24mm x 17mm images. This translates to 2 images on a standard 35mm frame. Currently a favorite of mine, it lives in my camera bag so it is handy where ever I go. 2 aperture settings, 2 shutter settings, N (1/100 sec) and B (Bulb setting) tripod mount, cable release socket This camera is unusual in that it offers square format,24x24mm on a standard 35mm frame (24x36mm). It also offers a half frame option, 17x24mm frames (it doubles the number of exposures you get on a roll of film)

Whichever camera you choose, remember that the point of lo-fi photography is to have fun and don't sweat the details!

You know, that is probably "expired" (old) film that they're selling you. It will give you that sort of Lomo quality if you let your good, fresh Kodak film sit in your car for a week in the summer heat.

Or you can use Adobe Lightroom to do it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/43929504...

Yes, you can.

It won't give you Lomo style pictures, though.

It's just boring old (expensive) 35mm film...it's the camera that gives the "lomo effect".

Edit ******************************

I forgot to mention that you can put a crappy Lomo lens on your precision Nikon. That will give you most of the "Lomo Effect".

You need one of these adapters...
