Having seen a lot of people rave about Kodak Gold being 'excellent especially for the money', I knew it was worth a try. It did not disappoint! Very easy and good colour response, more forgiving with lighting than I expected too. Perfect for an affordable option to keep your camera loaded at all times. Great film!
I bought three rolls of Fomapan Creative 200 from AW to use in my Nikon FM for some coastal photography here in the north east of England. I'm happy with the results, and the price of this film makes it a great deal. The grainy images it produces have the 'old-fashioned' look that I was hoping to achieve. This film might lack some of the punch, clarity and contrast of higher end products, but it's reliable, does the job well, and produces a images that have a nostalgic look that I enjoy. Will definitely use again.
Well made and accurate light meter. Easy to set up and looks good on my old Voightlander Vito CLR.q
Great results, exactly what one comes to expect from Kodak. Scanned well with good colour rendition and contrast.🙂
Great results, good grain and contrast in the scans, very pleasing results.
Rather disappointed with scans of this film, the grain is acceptable but poor contrast and detail let it down. Majority of frames also have a line of overexposure down r/hand side which could be camera fault. B&W in110 format doesn't really seem to work for me.
After mainly using HP5, with the longer brighter days coming on I decided to try FP4. I’ve really been impressed with the finer grained results with an impressive exposure latitude, very pleased, I’m going to order some more.
Lovely work from the Wondies on some of that old Tri-X.
Still a great film for the grittier look.
Tones come up better with a bit of help in post.
Loved how this handled in lower light, providing a great softness.
Loved shooting with this film, has a great crunchy grain which will give your low light / night time shooting a lot of personality.
This is a simple box with a shaped hard-foam insert so it holds three 35mm films. You have to take the films out of their boxes.
It's fine for this purpose, and that's how it's intended to be used. The films fit snugly and the lid is reassuringly firm to put on and take off.
There's wording on the bottom of the box in English, German, Spanish, Chinese, French and Russian saying "precious (un)exposed film / no x-rays / please inspect manually", together with some pictures with the same message.
So that's all good.
The box is exactly the right size for the three films: there's no extra space.
I like to keep the tag from the end of the film box to put in the frame on my camera body.
And I need somewhere to store my film record sheet.
Even though both of these items are small, trying to fit them into the box, as well as the films, is problematic.
So I may end up removing the nice foam insert which would be a pity, or adjusting it in some way.
This was my first roll of Pan F and perhaps I should have heeded the warnings about contrast a bit better! The low ISO tempted me into taking it out in bright sun, but in some high contrast scenes I should have thought more carefully about where and how to meter to avoid losing detail in the highlights. Some came out more like pen & ink drawings, which is not necessarily a failure, of course. Where I did judge it better, the detail was fantastic for 35mm, and lovely deep blacks were certainly available. I'll try it again sometime but with more thought on what I'm trying to achieve.
I put a film in a camera that I hadn’t used in 45 years, so just wanted to know if it was still working. Analog wonderworld was the ideal place to test it. After the film had been developed, I requested some feedback asking if everything is okay with my camera. Someone got back to me, after reviewing my photos, telling me that everything is okay. It’s just brilliant, that there’s a personal touch to sending your films away, not some automated film processing service.I can highly recommend their film development
Great film to shoot at such an affordable price point. Reliable in terms of exposure, sharpness and grain size.
This was a bit of an experiment for me, while in some cases the tones are really lovely, i have found the colour shifts to be speradic in their intesitiy across the roll of film. These samples are half frame and shot with the Alfie Tych+
Good basic film with good but not over saturated colours. Reasonable exposure values as 200 ISO so depth of field and shutter speed can be varied to suit the type of shot.
For anyone, like me, who enjoys cheap film stocks and isn't looking to be too experimental all the time, Kodak ColorPlus is a great choice.
Most of the time, I use Gold if I want a little warmth and ISO200, and Ultramax for other general purpose colour photography. ColorPlus is a close third, if I ever fancy something different.
It will give you bold colours in a variety of natural lighting, and solid contrast for punchy images. It is less "subtle" than other choices, if that's what you're after.
At ISO 400, this film is great in essentially any adequate lighting. I've used it in full sun, shade, indoors and at night under artifical light, and gotten excellent results.
It has great contrast, for bold images.
Kodak Gold is an excellent alternative to more expensive film stocks, a little warmer than Ultramax and still very useful at ISO200, especially when there is a little more sun in the sky.
Even when used on half frame cameras, like the PEN EE3 used in these photos, the grain is pleasant. It is a wonderful film stock with no major drawbacks.
This film is brilliant for its price, or indeed even if it was more expensive. I've always found the contrast to be a nice balance between a good dynamic range and "bold" images. The grain is pleasant, even in half frame photos such as these.
Ultramax is the first roll of film I put into any new film camera I buy. It is extraordinarily reliable, and its colour rendering is true to life in a variety of lighting situations. It probably shines best in slightly overcast days, where its ISO also makes it very useful.
I took a roll of Turquoise to the Eden Project in Cornwall, because I thought geodesic domes under an orange sky would look like a habitat on another planet. It didn't disappoint!
As far as I can tell, shooting at higher ISOs gives bolder colours. These were taken at ISO 400, so the upper limit of the box speed.
A word of warning though, people look weird. Blue faces are hard to get used to.
Yet again, perfect processing and lovely scans from the AW team. Quick turnaround and helpful comms throughout too. Highly recommended.
My film was processed fast with great quality, super happy with the outcome and the service provided, will 100% be using again!
