Kodak Gold 120 Color Film

Choose Kodak GOLD 200 in 120 format when you want the familiar warm look of Kodak GOLD combined with the added detail and image quality of medium-format film. Its ISO 200 speed is ideal for photographers who mainly shoot outdoors or in good available light. The film produces pleasing saturation, warm tones and strong detail without looking overly clinical. The larger negative area also means grain appears finer, giving scans and prints a smoother, more polished appearance. For photographers who want to enjoy medium format without always using premium professional films, GOLD 200 offers an excellent balance between price, image quality and classic colour-film character.

Start at ISO 200. Box speed gives dependable colour, detail and contrast. Use it in good daylight. GOLD 200 performs particularly well in sunshine and bright overcast conditions. Avoid heavy underexposure. Giving the film enough light helps maintain cleaner shadows and stronger colour. Try slight overexposure for a softer look. A little extra exposure can produce lighter tones and a smoother appearance, especially for portraits. Use a tripod when light levels fall. ISO 200 may require slower shutter speeds in shade, interiors or around sunset. Take advantage of the larger negative. Careful focusing and steady shooting will help you get the best possible detail from 120 film. Remember frame count depends on your camera. A 120 roll can produce different numbers of photographs depending on whether your camera shoots 6×4.5, 6×6, 6×7, 6×9 or another format. Use smaller apertures for landscapes. In bright conditions, apertures such as f/8 or f/11 can provide excellent depth of field. Scan at high resolution. The larger 120 negative can produce highly detailed digital files and impressive enlargements. Process using C-41. Standard colour negative processing is required.
