Pros:
Billing by CCBill, reliable with easy cancellation.
Exclusive content.
Large archive, site online since around 2004 I believe.
28 new updates per month (14 photo/14 video)
Stunning 2000 x 3000 px photos and 1280 x 720p videos @ 6000k.
Zip downloads for photos including a faster zips feature which makes for fast easy downloading of photo sets.
Site download manager friendly. (I use Down Them All with an old version of Firefox)
Reasonable download speeds, I'm averaging 3 MB/s with DTA.
Decent file naming with zips and videos including the name of the model and set title.
No ads in the member's area and no links or up-sells to dodgy cam sites.
Cons:
Regional pricing made this an expensive join, the price I paid in GBP was equal to around $35 (USD).
The content is very soft, while there is full nudity you rarely see models posing with their legs apart, there's no spreading, or close up pussy shots. It's basically what I would call a tits and bums site with only occasional glimpses of pussy.
The video section of the site seems disorganised.
Lack of choice regarding download options, only 1 size of photo zip and 1 choice of video resolution to download or stream.
No search engine.
Older content is lower resolution which is expected for a site that's been online this long.
A few of the oldest photo sets don't have zips, no more than around 5-10% of the total sets.
Hardly any information on the models, for most all you get is birth country, hair and eye colour.
A high percentage of models with large fake breasts.
Bottom Line:
Photo Dromm is a solo photographer site featuring the work of Filippo Sano, there's no background information provided about him so the only thing I can say about him with any degree of certainty is that he has an amazing talent for capturing stunning images of beautiful women in stunning locations. I would estimate something like 70 to 80% of the photo shoots are outdoors so you get to see these beautiful women in many different settings like spectacular coastlines, countryside settings, old ruins and derelict buildings.
There are 157 models on the site, predominantly Czech and Hungarian but also several British models along with a few from various other European countries. Many of the top tier Euro models from the last 10 plus years are featured here such as Ariel, Cikita, Klara (Zoe), Lenka Gaborova, Nikki Case & Zuzanna Drabinova to name a few.
When you log in to the members area you land on the updates page with the current month's updates at the top. You can scroll down the page to see all the updates from this year and at the bottom you will find links to the previous years archives 2017 back to 2009. Content older than 2009 can only be accessed through the individual model pages from within the model index page. There appears to be a newer website design layered over the top of an older design as when you access the galleries of models with some of the earliest content on the site when you click through to their galleries you are taken to an old site layout with tiny thumbnails. Most photo shoots are split into two updates of around 40 to 50 photos and videos usually in two or more parts of 3 to 4 minutes each. Earlier photo sets on the site were often split into 4 updates of 25 photos each. The way the site is organised makes it difficult to calculate the amount of content but since I've downloaded every photo set I can say with a fair degree of accuracy that there are 2350 photo updates with a total 89660 images. I would guess the number of videos is similar as they have been alternating photo and video updates since at least 2009.
The easiest way of downloading all the photo shoots of a model is from her page within the model index. On her page you will see all the covers displayed for her photo updates then in the top left section of her page there is a panel which you can click for faster zip files. Click on this and all the zip links are revealed in the panel for all her photo sets. If you are using a download manager like Down Them All this feature makes life really easy for downloading. If a model has 20 or 30 or more photo sets as many do then you just need to go down the list click, click, click and within 20 or 30 seconds you have all the links queued in your download manager which saves an awful lot of time over having to open each gallery page individually and scroll down to the bottom to find the download zip link. How I wish every site would make downloading photo sets this easy. The photos have been 3000 px since June 2015, before that they were still a fairly decent 2000px then as you go back through time they gradually drop down to 1600, 1280 then 1024 px for the very earliest ones.
The video section of the site I find a bit disorganised. On entering the video section there are 76 models listed on 1 page in what seems to be no particular order, they are not even listed alphabetically. There are models who have videos but who are not listed on the videos page. Some models have a link to their videos section from their page within the model index but some models with videos have no link to them. The only way you can find videos of some models is to scroll your way through the updates calenders until you find them. There's also no way to search or sort the content within the site. The videos themselves have no previews, descriptions or screencaps, all you get is one thumbnail which you can either left click to play or right click to download. They usually feature the model just standing around posing or walking around, there's nothing really sexual going on and quite frankly I find these kind of solo videos boring. All the ones I've watched contain background music. The recent ones are 3 to 4 minutes long, the older ones shorter. The HD 720p resolution seems to disappear around 2009 with the older videos being mpg files. I was unable to play those mpgs in my windows media player, I get sound but no picture. I don't really care enough about videos to mess around looking for another video player to play them.
In summary I'd give the site top marks for the fine collection of models, stunning photography and user friendly fast zips download feature. The shambolic organisation of the video collection doesn't really hurt my score as they don't particularly interest me.

Pros:
+Beautiful European babes (most are very familiar)
+Exclusive content
+Some of the photography looks professional
+Zips (of “large” photos, but "large" varies)
+A few models have their own "Best Selection" pics at 2000px, and there are also 3000px in a main section, but see the con's and bottom line. (It's not very impressive.)
+60 video clips (yes, “clips” is the word) are mpgs. 49 are labeled “HDV,” which I assume is the “hi def” mpg format. They do look very clear, but see the con's.
+Navigation is pretty straightforward
Cons:
-VERY slow server is possible, or just not all that fast.
-Photos: too often too much darkness/shadow.
-Gallery thumbs are too small.
-Galleries (thumbed lists of photosets by model) are sometimes disorganized
-Shoots broken into 2-6 smaller photosets (each with files numbered from 01, so compiling them is a pain)
-“Large” image size ranges from 1024 to 1280 to 1600px (but not many 1600’s)
-“Best Selection” 3000px photos is a rather meager collection of randomly chosen shots. Hyped in the visitor’s area, it rates highly for the “So What?” factor.
-Video shoots, like photo shoots, are piecemealed into 2 or more “clips,” which are too brief.
-Archives only by models or videos, and none have dates of publication
Bottom Line:
24kbps to download a 40MB video clip to take the better part of a half hour on a 20mbps connection then quits 20% of the way through? Then again, 63% of the way through? Then I went for a third clip, and it died in transit, too.
That was my first experience. Fortunately, after a few days, the speed was slowly getting up to 430Kbps. Still not great, but not awful.
Why not make ALL of the images available at 3000px, instead of doing this “Best Selection” shtick? As a subscriber, who paid $22.95, I would like to have the authority to choose what is "best" at that size.
And they should replace those teeny-tiny gallery thumbnails with something larger and easier on the eyes.
The site design is highly stylized and unique, and I think it looks rather attractive. And it’s all solo posing, with nary a plastic Danny in sight. So there are a few pros here, for sure, but not enough to recommend another PU who likes this kind of site to join.
