Kodak Gold 200asa 35mm - 36 exp Single

Product Information

Instead of saving the best for last, I decided to start this series with my favorite film. Maybe it’s my favorite because it was the first film I ever tried, maybe it’s because of its relatively cheap price, or maybe because it renders colors so well. Whatever the reason, Kodak ColorPlus is my go-to color film. Highlights from that include recommended exposure times for different weather and light conditions, a guide to which filter and exposure adjustments to use when shooting under different types of fluorescent light, and a table of features and benefits of the film. Our first film guide will cover Kodak, the most storied of the film companies still producing film. Kodak film offerings have thinned out in recent years, but their roster still includes some of the best and more versatile emulsions on the market. Here are our thoughts on the current lineup.

You may also find that some images have a magenta colorcast. This can be off-putting and annoying, especially if you don’t notice it until after you’ve had your images developed. Post Processing While their slightly slower speeds also contribute, Kodak Portra 160 and Kodak Ektar 100 both offer buttery-smooth, incredibly fine grain that is particularly good for blowing up at larger sizes. Colorplus 200 is definitely not on this same level. 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. Kodak Gold 200 is a color-negative, low-speed 35mm film that has divided opinion among photographers for decades. Some photographers love this consumer film, praising the bright colours and the retro look. However, not everyone is a fan. Let’s dig in and find out what’s to love and what’s not to love in this review of the Kodak Gold 200! 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.

The Technical Bit

For this reason, we usually reserve Kodak Colorplus 200 for shooting on bright, sunny days. If you need an all-purpose film that can handle a variety of lighting situations, there are better options, like Kodak Ultramax 400. 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. The 200 ISO rating isn’t the fastest, and you do have Kodak Ultramax 400 if you need more speed, but I like to shoot in the kind of light where 200 is enough anyway. When I did so, the grain and contrast in the results were all good. The subheading of this section – what is Kodak ColorPlus 200? – is perhaps more pertinent than you realise. 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.

For example, the very popular Cinestill 800T features a “tungsten” color balance, intended for use in artificial light. As a result, the colors and tones of the photos will look significantly different than those taken with a daylight balanced film. Lighting Conditions: If you will be shooting in low light conditions, you should choose Kodak Ultramax as it has an ISO speed of 400. If you will be shooting in well-lit situations, Kodak Gold with its ISO speed of 200 is a good choice. Of the 35 users that answered definitively, the results were quite close, with 19 users (54%) choosing Kodak Gold 200 and 16 users (46%) choosing Colorplus 200. First up, the name. I get they probably want to differentiate it from the Portras and Ektars but come on. ColorPlus is a terrible name. Even Kodacolor 200 was better.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. Last in the Portra line is Portra 800, Kodak’s higher speed color negative offering. In some ways, Portra 800 is a bit redundant considering Portra 400’s exposure latitude covers nearly all of Portra 800’s effective range. But Portra 800 is another spectacular option when light gets really low, and I find Portra 800 shines particularly when used for this intended application. 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! Kodak Colorplus 200 features a slightly cooler, more neutral palette with a bit less contrast and saturation than Kodak Gold 200 . There’s also an all-yellow box that seems to be an early version of a ColorPlus. This is dated as being from 2007 and was apparently made in China.
