Kodak Gold 200asa 35mm - 36 exp Single

Product Information

All of the above is still true. It’s still inexpensive, still found anywhere that sells film – in some cases where this is one of few options they have – and still gives those warm results you expect from a consumer level Kodak film. In all cases, the results benefit – depending on your taste – from the film’s inherent warm tones. When it’s overcast, they make it appear less so. When it’s sunny, they don’t make the light appear cooler than it was. Kodak has a long history of making incredible slide film, and recent history has seen the brand reintroduce their well-loved Ektachrome ( to much deserved fanfare). Let’s talk about that. Ektachrome E100 This film is ideal for beginners due to the wide exposure latitude, making it hard to mess up the exposure on your shots. The latitude allows for anywhere from two stops of underexposure to three stops of overexposure, so you can have fun shooting without worrying too much about the exposure settings. Though it is arguably Kodak’s best emulsion in about twenty years, I would not recommend Ektar for every situation. Ektar shines in bright daylight and in colorful scenes, but will need some extra post-processing work when dealing with overcast and low-light scenes. It’s also a challenging emulsion to use for portraiture and general people pictures as the emulsion tends to emphasize reds, which in certain situations can make people look Oompa Loompa-ish.

Kodak Gold is one of the most common films around, so you should have no trouble finding it. While it’s readily available online, you should also be able to find it in a specialized photography shop. Some large grocery stores even carry it! Wherever film is sold, you’ll be sure to find Kodak Gold 200. Color reversal film, also known as slide film, is different from color negative film in that it makes a positive image on a transparent base. These are used with slide projectors to project a brilliant image onto a screen, or in more modern times, can be scanned for digital use like any other film image. Their narrow exposure latitude and lower sensitivity make them best suited to controlled environments and professional use, but their incredible color reproduction and vibrancy can’t be beat by any other film type. Regardless, here are some shots taken with the Canon Sure Shot AF-7 to show you what’s possible with a cheap camera on an overcast day. That might also be why it was given the warmer yellow hues, to give people fonder memories than a cooler film would, which would encourage them to buy more. Either way, this makes it good for your travel shooting today, or just everyday snapshots wherever you are. This means that Kodak Gold has lower light sensitivity and is better suited for well-lit situations, while Kodak Ultramax is better for lower light conditions. Additionally, Ultramax is known for its fine grain, high sharpness and vibrant colours, while Gold is known for its natural colour reproduction and good skin tones.I’ve had a couple of sunny day shots come out slightly overexposed, with none of them shot on fully manual mode it should be noted, so perhaps the film doesn’t give as much leeway in that sense as others you may be used to. If you fancy playing around and creating your own vintage-style shots, this affordable film is the best choice. You can have lots of fun experimenting, and you won’t run up a massive bill either with this inexpensive film.

If you want to shoot in low light, inside, or during the evenings, this low-speed film isn’t for you. Our recommendation for a higher ISO film is the Kodak Ultramax 400 (but be prepared for the jump in cost, too!). Bright Saturated Colours I found this no diffent to dearer Kodak Porta then I always shoot with cheap film and tell the local D+P shop to not auto pront on the machine soI get vivid colours also I am shooting with a Nikon F501 and 50mm F1.8 D also a 70-300 g lens I found with Nikon lenses they have good reproduction plus they are ED coated. If your using center weighted metering print film is great there is Not a best film out there its how the light set up and quality of lens you are using. I also found the sharpness more than acceptable and a fair amount of contrast too when I shot it in the afternoon sun. Portra 400’s versatility makes it the Kodak film that I’d recommend for every situation. Its wide exposure latitude makes it suitable for the brightest daylight scenes and the darkest low-light scenes, as well as in super high contrast situation. The wide exposure latitude also provides a lot of room for over- and under-exposure, making it a particularly good film for cameras with slow shutter speeds or slow lenses. According to Kodak themselves, you get saturated colours, fine grain, and high sharpness. Gold 200 is also good for bright, colourful prints, great for enlargements, and gives high-quality results when scanned for digital output and great prints from digital zoom and crop images.The Kodak Gold is a 200 ISO film, which means that it captures images with a slow film speed. 200 ISO cameras are suitable for bright daylight and well-lit indoor shots. Without a doubt, the Kodak Gold 200 is one of the best 35mm films in the 200 ISO range. This table gives a chronology of the film family, from 1972 to 1990. It states the 100, 200, and 400 35mm Kodacolor VR films were replaced by Kodacolor Gold in 1987. Similar to most C-41 color films, Kodak Color Plus 200 offers a daylight color balance. This means that the film is intended for use in – you guessed it – daylight. The wide exposure latitude means I can trust my in-camera light meter and just fire away, and the low cost of the film means it doesn’t matter too much if some shots do get messed up or I feel the need to take them more than once. If you grew up between the 1980s and early 2000s, chances are you’ve either shot or had your picture taken with Kodak Gold 200. This mid-speed film has been a favorite of consumers and adventurous professionals alike, mostly for its tendency to punch above its weight when it comes to image quality.

Once again, the humble Kodak Color Plus falls in the middle of the road – this time in terms of grain. 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. It’s hard not to compare Color Plus 200 vs Gold 200. There really aren’t too many color films being produced, so the fact that there are two consumer-grade, 200-speed films from Kodak sets the stage for a rivalry. Kodak makes quite a few impressive pro-level color-negative films. Let’s talk about those. Kodak Ektar 100This warmness I keep mentioning gives an effortless and unmistakably vintage quality. That sounds like a redundant thing to say when talking about a camera film, but hear me out. Also, this is just my opinion. You should still be able to get acceptable results if your exposure is off by a stop or two. Just like other color films, Colorplus usually has a bit more flexibility with overexposure than underexposure. Since its introduction in 2008, Ektar has built a reputation as one of Kodak’s premier films. It’s the emulsion that promised to fill the void that the world-famous Kodachrome left in the company’s catalog when it was discontinued. Like Kodachrome, Ektar is slow (ISO 100), fine grained, and has a much sought-after vibrancy in its color palette. But unlike Kodachrome, Ektar is a C-41 color negative film, enabling it to be processed by any film processing lab.

It’s also important to remember that the way you scan your film can have just as much of an impact on your final images. Type of Photography: If you will be shooting portraits, Kodak Gold is a good choice due to its natural color reproduction and good skin tones. If you will be shooting outdoor or snapshot photography, Kodak Ultramax with its vibrant and punchy colors is a good choice. This makes Kodak Gold a popular choice for portrait and landscape photography, while Kodak Ultramax is popular for outdoor and snapshot photography.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. C-41 color negative films are pretty standardized, where you have roughly 4 1/3 stops of shadow detail below middle gray and several stops of detail above middle gray, and KODAK_200-8 is no different. It is recommended that you incident meter for the darkest part of the image where you want to retain detail and subtract 2 stops from that, or if you don’t have an incident meter, place your exposure compensation to +1, or manually set the ISO of your camera to ISO 100 and that will result in totally usable negatives. ColorPlus 200 has enough over-exposure headroom to handle 2-3 stops of over exposure before things get nutty. Dynamic Range/Exposure Latitude When you look at it like that, Kodak Gold 200 is like the Ford Escort of films. It’s pretty much Hulk Hogan. You might find yourself doing some heavy post-processing work on your shots if the colors are bothering you. Some photographers actively choose this film for its strong yellow tones. But if you’re not a fan, you’ll need to spend some time editing your photos.
