Kodak Gold 200asa 35mm - 36 exp Single

Product Information

May produce high levels of contrast, making it unsuitable for high-key or low-key lighting situations. 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. Kodak Gold will make the sharpest images with the most dynamic range at ISO 200, but can easily be pushed or pulled in changing light. But Kodak Gold can be shot between ISO 50 and ISO 400 on the same roll without push or pull processing, making it a fantastic film shooting at any time of day. Most of my photography is either travel or street, and I might end up reserving any future use of Kodak Gold film for the former, as it just feels more suited to that.

Overall, the results you get are balanced and more true-to-life than Fujicolor Industrial 100, for example, with its more prominent green and reds. If anything, Gold 200 leans more on the yellows and blues to create that warm feel. Thank you again for this article! I shoot digital and am just now branching into the film world and this was very helpful! Kodak’s T-max films are downright modern compared with the historically powerful Tri-X. They have rich mid-tones and super fine grain, coupled with excellent exposure latitude. What I mean there is, new offerings like JCH Street Pan 400 are great – they really are – but they’re new. And while Ilford films have a grand history, I don’t imagine many 1980s holidaying housewives were loading HP5 into their Canon Sure Shots.

Specification

Think of something that had its heyday in the 1980s, continued to do well in the 1990s, survived the 2000s, and is still around today albeit at nowhere near the level it once was. 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. 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. In 35mm, you can find it in rolls of 24 or 36 exposures for just a few dollars, but you should always try to get it with 36 exposures because when you go to develop it, the price is the same no matter how many exposures per roll. So, don’t lose out on those eight exposures!

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. Shooting film doesn’t have to be expensive. When prices on professional films like Kodak Portra keep rising, it’s no wonder consumers are looking for cheaper film options. Kodak Gold isn’t as flexible as Portra, but it creates that warm look that photographers go to film for in the first place. Here’s why I keep buying Kodak Gold. 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 200 is a fun, versatile, and inexpensive consumer-grade film that will give you bright, saturated colors in a fine-grained film that is nearly impossible to get wrong. 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 Bonus!

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. 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. This makes Kodak Gold a popular choice for portrait and landscape photography, while Kodak Ultramax is popular for outdoor and snapshot photography. 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. In this part of the film review, we’ll explore exactly what the Kodak Gold 200 color negative film has to offer you. 200 ISO: Slow Film Speed

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. 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.It’s not Portra, but Kodak Gold will give you 90% of the Portra experience, but with a warmer glow. I tested the film using my Pentax 67 and a freshly acquired Fuji GA645. I wanted the control and massive negatives of the Pentax and wanted 16 frames and see how it handled auto-exposure of the Fuji. LOCATIONS 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. Its 400 ISO makes it more flexible with changing lighting conditions, from indoor to outdoor, from sunrise to golden hour. 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.

If you use this camera film in tungsten lighting, you will get a strong yellow tinge in your images. Likewise, if you take photographs in fluorescent light, you’ll end up with a heavy green cast to your shots. When you shoot with this 35mm film, it’s essential to use it in the right environment for the optimal result. The results I got certainly depict the spring sunshine as warm in tone if not in temperature, judging by the overcoats still being worn. Warmer in tone than it actually was to the naked eye, if I remember correctly. Visit us and you'll always find a friendly welcome.

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. That warmness also makes it ideal for keeping happy memories on it. So that’s what I suggest you do. Our full review of Kodak’s newest film, Ektachrome E100, can be seen here. Here are some snippets from that piece. Whenever Kodak Gold 200 is brought up in conversation, the name says it all. Accentuated yellows, golds, oranges, and everything in between – this is the film to capture the warmth around us. Often looked at as a worthy Portra alternative, Gold 200 reproduces warm, beautiful tones made for golden hour, portraits in warm lighting, and warm color palettes.
