About
This amateur all-purpose color negative film was originally introduced in 1988. Its modern version, Kodak Gold 200, was introduced in 2007 and is still in production today.
It is still one of the most popular photographic films among a wide audience. Well balanced for daylight, cloudy weather and flash photography, it is famous for its ‘golden’ European-type skin tones and has a relatively small grain size.
Kodak Gold 200 is tolerant of exposure errors, allowing you to get satisfactory results when shooting in the range from -2 EV to +3 EV. Tends to yellow-green tones when underexposed and purplish-red tones when overexposed. Best color reproduction is achieved with exposures in the range from 0 EV (Normal Exposure) to +1 EV.
