So Optik now own InovisCoat and FilmoTec which both were producing new colour film in Europe so OptiColour 200 could be the first step in things to come. This film was developed by FilmoTec as part of the Wolfen line and like that range of films, this is a weird one.
I would like to like it but the colours are difficult to balance and somewhat random. In my experience there tends to be a muddy green cast to the whole frame. The latitude is limited and should you dare to bring up the shadows they can appear quite red. These attributes remind me of Lomo Metropolis (made by InovisCoat) so I guess there is similar DNA between these two stocks as there appears to be for the other Wolfen films.
The grain is noticeable and detail isn't rendered very fine. I always like character in these new experimental colour films and there is one here, I just don't know if it's for me. The vibe and halation of Phoenix II and superior colour rendering of Luckycolor 200 would be my choice over OptiColour 200 any day.
I enjoyed using NC400 by Orwo. OptiColour 200 is actually a reboxed NC200, yet to be released under the Orwo brand.
Colours are quite neutral with a lean towards warm. NLP can resolve any white balance issues.
Grain is a little pronounced, shadow detail is ok. Highlights hold together well. Nice 80's style look.
All shot at box speed.
Brought this for a trip to Greece, hoping some colours would pop but actually ended up being a grainy almost pastel set of colours.
Not sure I will use again as I want something finer from a iso200 but a happy experiment nonetheless
Opticolor 200 has a lovely, nostalgic character with warm tones and a gentle grain that really suits autumnal light and everyday documentary work. The colours lean slightly red and yellow in a flattering way, giving skies a soft cyan and skin a cosy warmth, while still holding good detail in both shadows and highlights.
