[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In past I have used Kodak Gold 200 negative film with very satisfactory results, both R and Rangefinder (Contax T2). I've used it for studio portraits with strobes, especially infants and toddlers, producing very accurate skin tones without the gooey, hypersaturated colors of Kodak Royal Gold or certain other color negative films. Landscapes seemed to reveal the colors I saw through the viewfinder. This film sort of disappeared for a while. Yesterday I was in a Wal Mart store (part of my business to be there...) and saw 5-packs of this flim in 24-exposure rolls. There were multiple distribution notes on the box in several languages, plus "Made in USA" and "Finished in Mexico". Has anyone used this film? Does it seem to be the same formula or have there been some changes? I'm hopeful this is the same stuff and appreciate any information you might be able to offer. Many thanks. Bob in Seattle
