Shooting with a Mamiya C3 twin lens reflex camera I shot some Kodak Gold 120. 120 photography is always fun - you get such huge negatives there is always plenty to work with.

Ventured into medium format photography and decided to go with old faithful Gold.

Was not disappointed.

Very happy with the results, good colours and contrast, classic golden hues, forgiving exposure, a little more grain than expected but it added to the photo rather than detracted. A tad expensive but happy overall.

The samples are indeed Gold but developed in BW chemistry; read on; I had shot ten rolls in a variety of different environments the first five not long after it was first introduced. the dynamic range is relatively limited and the grain makes this come across as a 'cheap Lomography film rather than something from reputable Kodak stable. I can only guess Kodak went with the recent regergitated influx of interest in film photography; the target audience being young newbies and a variety of lomography style young folk who like to experiment. I can imagine someone might use it as a beginner colour negative film but considering its price across the market I would rather coach on Ektar pitching it against 200 and 400 Fujis.
Alright for experiments, and if you want your holiday pics to look like something from 1990s.
I was largely so disappointed with the results that I decided to experiment myself and ran it through a 100year-old 6x9 folding brownie and had the last few rolls developed in BW chemistry.
overall not for me.

I use this one all the time, it's good for all purposes

After a loooong break between shooting film, Kodak Gold was priced well to get reacquainted and the results really speak for themselves. Great warm tones in the day, fine but noticeable grain, and just enough detail in low light. This may just be a staple film in my kit going forward.
