Our full review of Kodak’s newest film, Ektachrome E100, can be seen here. Here are some snippets from that piece. 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. Kodak Gold is actually vintage and there’s nothing forced about it the look it gives. If you use it while travelling or on holiday and your photographs resemble the ones from your childhood holidays, that’s because they’re possibly being shot on the same film.

I don’t develop my own film but I can point you in the direction of some information regarding doing so if you need it. While Portra 160 is very obviously suited to portraiture, it also shines with general photography. While films like Ultramax, Gold, and Ektar will saturate the hell out of any color present in the frame, Portra 160 instead goes for depth and subtlety. This is perfect for images which emphasize texture and detail rather than bold color and contrast. Portra 160 has become a favorite of wedding photographers, portrait photographers, and photographers who generally prefer a gentler, even dreamier image.There’s always going to be nostalgia in analogue photography. Some for the medium, some for the cameras we use, and some for certain films. Kodak Gold is surely one of those that command it in a way some others can’t.

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

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. Kodak Colorplus 200 has what we would consider a decent amount of exposure latitude – there are films with more and there are films with less. Kodak Gold 200 is a 5500k daylight balanced, ISO 200, colour negative 35mm film that’s available in rolls of 24 or 36 exposures. It has the DX code 512504 and is developed using the regular C-41 process.

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. The wide exposure latitude made it hard to catastrophically under or overexpose a shot, and the signature warm Kodak tones were ideal for holiday snaps. 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 LatitudeIt gets murky and I could be wrong, but the lineage seems to be Kodacolor II –> Kodacolor VR 200 –> Kodacolor Gold 200 –> Kodacolor 200 –> Kodak ColorPlus 200. 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. 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. It’s worth noting that the grain is nowhere near as fine as other low-speed, color films that are considered “professional-grade”.
