About

Today, Kodak is the only company in the world that produces color motion picture film. The Kodak Vision negative film product line has 3 generations, which were produced in different times:

  • Kodak Vision Color Negative (1996-2002)
  • Kodak Vision2 Color Negative (2002-2007)
  • Kodak Vision3 Color Negative (2007-present)

Modern motion picture negative film is produced in four versions, which are balanced for different lighting, differ in sensitivity, contrast, grain, color rendering features and, accordingly, their purpose:

  • Kodak Vision3 50D
  • Kodak Vision3 200T
  • Kodak Vision3 250D
  • Kodak Vision3 500T

The differences between these films are described in detail in our article 'Modern motion picture negative films' .

Kodak Vision3 500T film is designed for night shooting outdoors (by streetlight) and in poorly lit rooms, mainly with spot lighting. Such scenes are characterized by extremely high contrast, so 500T is a low-contrast film.
