#Kodak 35mm film pro#

Why make a consumer film in medium format? It’s not a “pro” film but it will come in five-roll pro packs. I expect Gold will likely produce more grain than Portra 160, but also more saturation and contrast to go with it. It’s not exactly clear if the new 120 film will have the exact same emulsion as the 35mm variety, but I certainly hope it does because it would fill a gap between the very poppy colors you get with Ektar 100 and the understated tones that come out of a roll of Portra 400. As the name suggests, it’s a 200 speed film with relatively punchy colors and a generally warm overall look.

It’s a consumer-oriented film that you may have seen at department or drug stores before many of them stopped carrying film. If you shoot 35mm film, you may already be familiar with Gold 200. What is Kodak Gold 200? We would have loved the old Kodak Gold packaging with the foil to come back. Today, though, medium format shooters got some excellent news: Kodak Moments will soon offer its Gold 200 film in 120 format and it will cost up to 25 percent less per Pro Pack than pro-grade stocks like Portra 400. But, when you’re only getting 10-16 frames out of each 120 roll, those price tags really sting. Those price hikes hurt for 35mm film shooters who get 36 frames per roll. First, Fujifilm discontinued its popular Pro 400H film stock due to manufacturing issues, and then film prices jumped considerably across the board.

The last few years have been rough for medium format film photographers.
