KODAK GOLD 35MM PROFESSIONAL

I (for one) will not be price gouging to make a quick profit in my shop. I will know later today if shops like mine can get this film at a price lower than other 120 films when I call my distributor.

The problem, however, is that during the last year or so, wholesalers and retailers have been increasing their pricing due to the supply problem, squeezing every nickel and dime from the end user. Kodak is clearly hearing film shooters who have been squeezed by the price hikes on film, and they’re giving us an option to hopefully keep this film thing going long into the future. The film is supposed to sell at 25% less than Portra and Ektar, which is amazing. I do have one pricing concern, though it has nothing to do with Kodak. It is the perfect film for the upcoming Spring and Summer (for us in the Northern Hemisphere). It performs incredibly well, with gorgeous warm tones and excellent saturation. Kodak Gold is also, pretty simply, a beautiful film. Everything is done to an incredible standard, and I’m just really happy to see Kodak giving us more options and ways to shoot their film. It’s not acceptable to release a sub-standard film or to have compromised quality in a single roll. My takeaway observation, generally, was that every person at Kodak really cares about the product. I traveled to the Kodak factory in Rochester, New York a few years ago and was treated to a tour of the production facility and greater campus. So it is such a breath of fresh air to see Kodak not only releasing a new film for medium format, but doing so in a way that provides a truly excellent product at a sustainable price point for photographers.

Literally every manufacturer has increased prices. In the last couple of years we film photographers have seen nothing but price increases across the board. It is designed for photographers shooting at any level for daylight and flash capture.

The new 120 format Kodak Professional Gold 200 is an affordable, entry-level color film featuring an ideal combination of warm saturated color, fine grain, and high sharpness. This is a great opportunity for aspiring photographers looking to make the jump from 35mm to medium format photography,” said Thomas Mooney, Manager Film Capture Products, Kodak Moments Division. “One main reason for popularity is that the larger film negative can be enlarged significantly without losing image quality.
