KODAK GOLD 200 135-36 - EASTMAN VERSION

KODAK GOLD 200 (135-36) – Eastman Packaging Edition

The Gold Standard, Direct from the Source.

This isn't just another roll of film; it’s the Eastman Kodak Company version of the world’s most beloved consumer color negative. Historically, Kodak-branded still film has been distributed by Kodak Alaris, but the "Eastman Version" marks a return to direct distribution by the original factory in Rochester, New York. Featuring bold, retro-inspired yellow and red packaging, this edition is a nod to the golden age of photography while providing the fresh, reliable performance of modern emulsion.

Why the "Eastman" Version?

The Eastman version is functionally the same high-quality Kodak Gold 200 you know and love, but it is sold directly by Eastman Kodak. For the purist, this version represents a more direct link to the heritage of the American film giant. It is easily identifiable by its classic vintage-style box, which has become a collector’s favorite since its re-introduction.

Key Performance Features

• Classic "Kodak Warmth": Renowned for its signature warm tones, this film excels in capturing golden hour sunlight, skin tones, and nostalgic summer scenes with a slight yellow-red bias that digital sensors struggle to replicate.

• Exceptional Latitude: Kodak Gold is famously forgiving. With a wide exposure latitude, it can handle up to 2 stops of underexposure and 3 stops of overexposure, making it the perfect choice for beginners or those shooting in unpredictable lighting.

• Fine Grain & High Sharpness: Despite being a consumer-grade film, Gold 200 offers a fine grain structure (Print Grain Index: 44) that allows for beautiful 8x10 enlargements and high-quality digital scans without excessive noise.

• Versatile Speed: At ISO 200, this film is the ideal middle ground—fast enough for handheld street photography in the daytime, yet slow enough to retain rich color saturation and detail.

Pro Tip: Kodak Gold 200 absolutely loves light. For the most vibrant colors and the least amount of grain in the shadows, try shooting it at ISO 160 or even ISO 100 to give the film a slight overexposure—the results are stunningly "creamy."
