Very good contrast A great inexpensive color film. I have used this for years & have always found at least satisfactory. I come back to it time & again. Granted, this is by no means the choice of pros. However, this is a great economical choice for those of us who don't have an editor to bankroll our film & equipment.

Inexpensive
Weakness:
??? This is at least a good film in spite of other reviews, IMO. Every bit as good as other films at at this end of the price spectrum. I reccommmend this to almost any ameteur. Great for travel or when you don't know where, when, or under what conditions you'll take your next shot- i.e. very versitile. O sure, you'd choose something of a higher quality if you have an editor bankrolling your film for you. However, this is a very good choice for the budget minded.

None Developed one roll of film in lab using Kodak Image Check. The pictures turned out out of this world with sharp color, excellent contrast and no sign of grains. Picture quality comparable to Fuji reala. Skin tone was superb. The flowers came out with razor sharpness and real color. Similar Products Used: Fuji reala |

Strength:
I like Kodak's color response a bit more than Fuji's, and this film has good grain and resolution for the speed
Weakness:
runs a bit expensive for a film that's probably Kodak's supreme bestseller If my lens and shutter speeds allow, I prefer to shoot slower films, but this is an excellent choice in this range for a general-purpose film. Royal Gold 400 is definitely better, but it'll cost ya. Customer Service Kodak's is good, but I haven't had any film questions recently Similar Products Used: Fujicolor Superia 400 (comparable), Royal Gold 400 (better) |

Strength:
I don't use this film, and I don't like it.
Weakness:
saturation, grain, thin negatives, not the best colour balance This film has no excuse for existance other than its low price, but if you gotta have cheap, go Agfa, I think. If you want good at high speed, go Fuji. The only reason this film sells, I think, is that the big warehouse places carry it in 6 roll packs for $15.00. Customer Service Kodak?

I like to keep Kodak ISO 400 in my camera so I'll be ready to take great shots regardless where I am: outside at soccer games or inside at family functions. It's very versatile.
Weakness:
No, any problems are usually caused by my inadequate set-up of the shot (shade, lighting not behind the subject, etc.) It's the film I can count on. If I set the shot up correctly, I know I'll be happy with the results. They usually come out crisp and clear. Similar Products Used: Fuji |
