About Kodak
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.

I have used the UltraMax film across a range of lighting conditions, and I have found it to work really well. The film does a great job at bringing out the range of colours in the subjects I am shooting, and the light tones are highlighted well. I have used it outside on bright summer days, as well as dimly lit passageways. It does cost more than other 35 mm Kodak films, but it is worth it for the vibrant images it creates.

As the year draws to a close, it's time to reflect on a film stock that has long been a favourite among everyday photographers: Kodak Ultramax 400. Accessible and reasonably priced, Ultramax offers a reliable way to capture the world without compromising on quality.
This collection showcases its strengths — images with pleasing colour rendition, balanced contrast, and a film grain that is noticeable enough to remind us of its analogue character, yet never so prominent as to distract from the scene. In many ways, Ultramax 400 stands as a cost‑effective alternative to Kodak’s more expensive stocks, delivering dependable results while keeping the process approachable.
Kodak Ultramax 400 has become my go-to when I’m unsure what film to use. It’s reliable, good for a variety of light settings, true colour and generally an all rounder!
