Kodak Ultramax 400 Color Negative Film (ISO 400) 35mm 24-Exposures - 2 Pack (2 Items)

Product Information

This is noticeably less than Portra 400’s 12 stops and somewhat less than the original/Japanese Fujifilm Superia X-Tra’s 13 stops . I like Superia a good amount but the green cast that comes with everything Fuji kind of puts me off of it, if I am honest.

For this article, I decided to compare the two when shooting both at 400 ISO (and Kodak Gold pushed one stop). The difference is that M6 will probably hold its value for many years or decades, if not gain in value even still, which is not the case for digital cameras (well, it happens with some, but not on the same scale). I just want to say that I absolutely love your writing, and I found the William Shakespeare bit amusing.Kodak - properly known as Kodak Eastman - was founded in America in 1888 and dominated the "Western" world of photography for the next 100 years, constantly in fierce rivalry with the Japanese Fuji. Whereas strong or warm-toned shades work well with UltraMax, blue or grey weather often throws it off-balance, leaving you with colour casts in the shadows that are difficult to correct. It’s true that these shifts can be easily corrected in post-processing (if we’re scanning our negatives), but with a 400 speed film there’s really little reason to push. The fidelity of those scans can’t be compared to my 40MP dedicated film scanner and the flexibility of a digital negative . The Ultramax 400 is Kodak’s cheaper – hard to use that term in this context – ISO400 color negative film.

Im definitely a fan of Ektar as well but as much of my shooting is done for camera testing, the economy makes Ultramax a winner.

Another negative film Kodak Ektar was also reviewed with the Fuji GSW690iii in the Combinations series. There are two different options for Kodak Ultramax - you can choose between a 36 exposure roll or a 24 exposure roll.Kodak's UltraMax 400 is a high-speed daylight-balanced color negative film offering a wide exposure latitude for greater versatility, as well as a fine grain structure with consistent and accurate colors. You can tackle the camera shakes that creep in when using the telephoto end of the lens by using a faster shutter speed. Fortunately the photography business has survived under the Kodak Alaris name - based in Hertfordshire, England - and they have delighted the analogue industry by pledging continued support for film production and the promise of bringing back old favourite emulsions.

But remember that this is a 400 speed film; we should expect that it’s not going to be as smooth as Provia or Ektar.However, since the film is daylight balanced, you will want to account for the light sources you’re using when taking photos.
