Kodak Gold 200asa 35mm - 36 exp Single

Product Information

Capturing new vintage holiday memories on Gold 200 sounds like a very good idea, though, and I’m already looking forward to doing that.

Portra 400 is perhaps the most widely used film in Kodak’s catalog, and for good reason – it’s nearly flawless. Its color palette is one of the most balanced among color emulsions, its exposure latitude is the widest in photography (about six stops of over-exposure and three to four stops of under-exposure when processed at box speed), and its grain is some of the finest found in a 400 speed film ( see the details in our film profile here). Ektar is also particularly challenging for the novice photographer. The emulsion does not have the wide exposure latitude of Portra 400 or even Ultramax 400, and shifts colors slightly based on slight over- and under-exposure. Self-scanning Ektar is also a pain with consumer-level scanners. Ektar benefits greatly when processed and scanned through professional level machines by those with extensive experience with the emulsion.If you like shooting in direct sunlight, Kodak Gold is fantastic for that and will still maintain details in the highlights.

They also mention that wide exposure latitude from earlier, stating you get from two stops underexposure to three stops overexposure to play with. Though Portra 160 is suitable for a variety of situations, it is far from the most versatile film. Its low sensitivity limits usage in low light, and shooters who find themselves wanting to emphasize particularly colorful surroundings will be left wanting. But when used for its intended application of portraiture and airy people photography, it performs well. Buy it here in 35mm, here in medium format. Exposure latitude” is a term in film photography that means the amount that a film can be over or under exposed while still producing a decently clear photo. The only question to ask yourself when deciding whether to use Kodak Gold film for your street photography is if you want this look. I’m not sure I do but if you’re okay with it, I don’t see much else that will cause any big issues.In general, you can easily overexpose Kodak ColorPlus 200 by 1 or 2 stops. However, on the other end, you can probably only get away with an underexposure of about 1 stop before the colors become a bit muddled. If you do your street photography once the sun has gone down, illuminated by low levels of artificial light, you’re not going to get the best of what Kodak Gold 200 can offer. This warmness is certainly there with Kodak Gold 200. That and some other image qualities only add to the reasons why this was an ideal family holiday film.
