Kodak Gold 120 film is THE hot launch of 2022! One of Kodak's best-selling emulsions, now available in medium format as Gold 120 🤩

Expect golden colours, beautiful warmth and forgiving contrast. Kodak Gold 120 is brand new to the market so we haven't (yet!) had the chance to shoot it ourselves, but the test shots are outstanding.

And of course this is one of the most affordable colour films available to medium format photographers today - so you are getting incredible value for money.

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. Similarly to Fuji the advent of digital photography at the turn of the century caused significant financial problems. A late attempt to win in the compact market was hit by the rise of mobile photography and bankruptcy followed in 2012. 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.

Worth its weight and price in Gold

One of my favourite affordable colour films before it was discontinued, so I was hot on the Buy button when it was re-released.
My photograph is from a nautical studio set next to a huge window, bathing the scene in beautiful natural light. I hadn't intended at first to photograph the scene as I was in the studio to photograph models and a rowing boat! However, I loved the painterly still life look that emanated from the masses of Roses and the window reflection on the polished wooden floor.
The film recreates its famous colour Gamut of yesteryear, and has an acceptable exposure gradient and grain, making it also ideal for Summertime outdoor, portrait and landscape scenes.

Great Portra alternative

I was really impressed with the the 120 version of this film. I have to say, I don't like Gold in 35mm. For me, both the grain and the colour cast are too much in 35mm. One 120 however, the grain is much nicer and, to my eye, the warmness didn't come across quite as strongly - but that could be down to my scanning choices. Either way, decent stuff and a nice option to have in 120 when Portra prices have climbed so much.

Gold Medal for Gold in 120

Gold is a classic in 35mm but in 120 format it really comes alive. Gold renders colours beautifully, and the amount of grain in 120 gives a subtle softness to each photo. It’s become an instant favourite of mine for medium format shooting.

There's a reason this is called gold....!

There was a lot of excitement when this film was released in 120 format. Rightly so!

It has a gorgeous, warm tone to it. If exposed correctly in good light then there's not much that can beat it. It's got a bit more grain than a film like Portra, but not distractingly so.
I think I'd be wary about using it in difficult lighting - there definitely isn't as much latitude in it and I didn't find I could tweak the colours quite so well as some other films.
But it is cheaper and it's not pretending to be massively flexible - it's a film for your summer hols! So load it up and get down to the beach!
