Kodak Gold 200asa 35mm - 36 exp Single

Product Information

If you like shooting in direct sunlight, Kodak Gold is fantastic for that and will still maintain details in the highlights. 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! 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.

But if you want to avoid those noisy green shadows, be sure to lower your shutter speed, or open the aperture to let in some more light. 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. Kodak’s slowest offering in the Portra lineup is also one of their most intriguing. Portra 160 is perhaps the most archetypical of the Portra philosophy – it offers a subtler, gentler color palette when compared to other color negative emulsions. Pair this understated color palette to the fine grain offered by an ISO 160 film, and you end up with one of the finest portraiture films on the market. 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 ColoursFor what these shots are, which is a bunch made on a casual afternoon walking around my neighbourhood, and for the price of the film they were shot on, I can’t be unhappy with how they came out.

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.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. 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.
