Kodak Gold 200asa 35mm - 36 exp Single

Product Information

I honestly haven’t had any issues with Kodak Gold 200, but I would suggest avoiding tungsten and florescent lighting situations unless you’re willing to use a filter, which will cause you to lose a stop or two of exposure. If that is the case, you might as well use flash.

There are a few limitations to Kodak Gold. The main downsides are that it isn’t as flexible for altering colors in post production as professional films, it’s a little more grainy, and it shouldn’t be pushed more than 2 stops.

In terms of spectral sensitivity, Kodak Gold sees a much greater loss of spectral sensitivity between the color forming layers than the professional films like Portra and Ektar. This means that there will be more contrast between colors than other films, which means that the negatives aren’t as flexible in post production. We're very easy to find, our London store is just off Oxford Street between Oxford Circus station and Tottenham Court Road station. The Essex shop is located in High Chelmer Shopping Centre, just off the High Street in Chelmsford.The Stevenage shop is located in the Old Town, in the old Post Office with parking outside And over this last year, I’ve been putting it to the paces. I’ve shot 40 rolls of Kodak film, and used it as my daily driver in everything from the Ilford Sprite 35-II camera ( see why this is the most fun film camera of all time here) to my favorite Hasselblad Camera. This film is flexible enough to push to 400 if required, however we would only advise doing this if you are short of light – not for apparent creative reasons as it’s better to have the best possible quality negative. In addition to providing information about colour sensitivity, spectral sensitivity curves can also be used to determine the film's sensitivity to different light sources, such as tungsten or fluorescent lighting. This information is useful for colour correction and can help photographers achieve the desired look for their images.

The color balance with Ultramax makes it versatile for many applications such as portraits, cities, landscapes, and more. The dynamic range on this film is very wide, and it retains great details in both highlights and shadows when metered properly. Kodak Gold 200 35mm Film is a low-speed color negative film that offers an outstanding combination of color saturation, fine grain, and high sharpness. It is designed for general picture-taking situations in daylight or with an electronic flash. This is a top contender for many film photographers offered at the Moment film store. Personal Style: Consider the look you want to achieve in your photographs. If you prefer images with high contrast and vivid colors, Kodak Ultramax may be the better choice for you. If you prefer natural color reproduction and good skin tones, Kodak Gold may be the better choice. Kodak Gold has a lot of overexposure latitude, so I knew that metering for the cashier would mean that I wouldn’t blow out the details on the neon sign outside, even though it’s significantly brighter.You will get the best exposures on Kodak Gold at night by metering directly on the subject of your photo. Place your subject in good light, or wait for them to come to an area that has the best light so that you can have a decent shutter speed to make a good image. By placing your subject in the light, you are ensuring that they will be properly exposed, because the shadows will always disappear on the negative. Take care when developing this film – follow Kodak’s recommendation to develop it in full darkness for the best results. Kodak Gold 200 Review: The Features and Benefits Choosing between Kodak Gold and Ultramax depends on the type of photography you will be doing and the lighting conditions you will be working in. We have a full article on ' How to shoot Kodak Ultramax' but when comparing with Gold here are a few factors to consider: Kodak Gold 200 is a daylight balanced film. This means if you want to shoot it under tungsten or florescent lights indoors, you’ll need to add a filter or do some color correcting in post.

Film is a physical medium. If there wasn’t enough light to excite the electrons in the silver halide emulsion, they won’t magically become developable with longer development times. Pushing film does allow the developer more time to work and find developable grains in the shadows, so there is a marginal speed increase. But it increase the image contrast, saturation, and graininess. Kodak Gold can be used to create cinematic images at night. How to shoot Kodak Gold at night 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. The general rule with film is to always expose for the shadows. Highlights are easily recovered with color negative film, but shadows usually what gets lost. So it’s always better to overexpose your images to capture more detail. However, the colors this film produces aren’t for everyone. Take a close look at some of the images shot with this 35mm film to see how you feel about the strong color casts, particularly the heavy yellow and magenta tones. You can create cool, retro shots with the Kodak Colour Plus 200, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for a faster film speed, the Kodak Ultramax 400 fits the bill. Pair it with one of the best film cameras and you’re good to go. Budget: local variations will apply - and the Kodak film shortage has made comparisons difficult around the world - but you would expect Ultramax to cost between 10-25% more per roll than Gold.Could you maybe do an article on the difference between “professional” and consumer film? As you imply a lot of things like weddings would not be recommended to use consumer film. But why? You say that consumer film has more color saturation but how does that explain ektar? Our full review of Kodak’s newest film, Ektachrome E100, can be seen here. Here are some snippets from that piece. With Kodak Ultramax 400, we start to approach a more all-purpose style film that can accommodate a wider variety of settings. Capturing new vintage holiday memories on Gold 200 sounds like a very good idea, though, and I’m already looking forward to doing that. Which of these two films do you prefer: Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultramax 400? Let us know in the comments below!

I don’t know if you’ve shot Kodak Gold 200, or plan to now having read this review. I will say this, though. If you were alive in Hulk Hogan’s heyday, you’ve likely been shot on it. Though Tri-X can be processed to be a stellar low-light film, Kodak’s T-max P3200 is undoubtedly the company’s flagship super speed film. It’s actually an 800-1000 ISO film, but is made to be pushed for use in low-light. It has fast become a favorite of the CP staff owing to its super-speed and surprisingly strong exposure latitude and tonality. Tri-x shot at 200 asa on 120 film is so smooth and perfect i don´t even know why shoot other emulsions. It’s got a wide latitude and rich color saturation as well. Overall, it’s a great film to keep handy and use for travel, personal snaps, and even portraits. Kodak Gold has a surprising tonal range for a consumer film, and creates incredible images that are perfect for capturing fun memories with friends and family, or even professionally in good light. Gold 200 will easily push 2 stops to ISO 800, and pull 3 stops down to ISO 25 and still produce beautifully saturated prints and scans.

Specification

Kodak Gold 35mm film is a colour negative film perfect for all types of photography. With its vibrant colours, fine grain and wide exposure latitude, it can handle any light you throw at it. A firm favourite for analogue photographers around the world! Professional films are those that are typically manufactured with a specific application in mind. Whether these be formulated for wedding or portrait photographers, or made to work best with landscapes, pro films usually do one job exceptionally well. Of course, this comes at a cost. Pro films are often double or triple the price per roll of consumer-level films. NEW in 120 format, this is genius move from Kodak as we think the emulsion is perfectly suited as a significantly different alternative to the more refined Portra 160 and 400. The magnitude of Kodak successfully rereleasing a film like Ektachrome is huge. It’s also a milestone that, frankly, many of us never thought possible. We’d been through this before with other film projects. Big promises on social media to #keepfilmalive, the flashy promotional campaign, the buzzworded crowdfunding, and the whole load of nothing that happens afterwards. For more than a year we heard just a few intermittent reports that Ektachrome was still coming. And now, proving our fears wrong, it’s finally here. 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.
