Hello dear film shooters,

I've come across this deal : 20 pcs of Kodak Gold 100 from 2006 for 26€.

Should i give a try ?

stevebrot · 02-09-2013, 01:03 PM

That sounds a little on the high side, unless you really want to shoot Gold 100. 15€ or less sounds more appropriate for expired C41 film.

Indeed you should. I think I paid $1.50 USD per roll for my last purchase of Kodak Gold 200 (fresh, not outdated, on sale at Target).

If it's been in a freezer then it could be ok. I think Pro Image 100 is the same film and is still available in some markets, though is around double the price of this lot.

aurele · 02-10-2013, 02:41 PM

I've found some other pack usually around 2,5 each Kodak Gold 400.

But i never find cheap B&W film, is it normal ?

tuco · 02-11-2013, 04:26 PM

That would be the old formulation of that Gold film. Around 2008 they updated that emulsion which some say is much improved.

I bought it and don't like the color much for the landscape, but w sunlight you can have a pick color for ur photo, I think I'll be good for capture people.

aurele · 03-29-2013, 09:12 AM

the thread is almost 2 months old, and yes i did pick them. It was a good idea so far.

Exposing it at 64 iso instead of 100, gives very good results. Far better than expected !

yatafa · 03-31-2013, 10:26 AM

pls post some photo for us to see the result

aurele · 04-01-2013, 03:20 AM

As you wish

this is going to be quite heavy on picture then !

For information, rolls are now in my freezer at -18°Celsius, in there small black plastic canister. I take them out of the freezer 24h before puting them in the SLR.

MZ-5n, DA40/2.8 @ f ?, Koda gold 100 +2/3 EV (like using it as a 64 iso film, because expired 6 years ago).

MZ-5n, DA40/2.8 @ f 8, Koda gold 100 +2/3 EV

MZ-5n, DA40/2.8 @ f2.8, Kodak Gold 100 +2/3 EV

Even expired, the film still have a huge DR (6 stops of difference between the sky and the left dark area of the cave !)
MZ-5n, DA40/2.8 @ f8, Kodak Gold 100 +2/3 EV

Color are still vivid, even if i add a +10 vibrancy in photoshop
MZ-5n, DA35/2.4 @ f2.4, Kodak Gold 100 +2/3 EV

MZ-5n, F35-70/3.5-4.5 @35mm f5.6, Kodak gold 100+2/3 EV

yatafa · 04-01-2013, 08:00 PM
