Types of Color Negative Films.

formats. Refer to figure 2-4.
a. KODACOLOR Gold 100, 200, and 400. These films, currently available
in 35 millimeter (mm), are the newest films manufactured by Kodak.
They
offer more enhanced color rendition over a wider range of exposures. This

(1) KODACOLOR Gold 100 and Gold 200.
These films offer improved
sharpness and grain structure over the previous Kodacolor films.
(2) KODACOLOR Gold 400. Finer grain and improved color saturation in
underexposures is offered by this film. It produces good flesh tones over a
wide range of exposures.
b. KODACOLOR VR 1600.

It
gives pleasing results in most lighting situations without
