Kodak Vision3 200T color negative film 7213

vision3 200t is the latest addition to kodak's super 8 range. it's a high-speed colour negative film stock and has a large exposure latitude and impressive sharpness of image resulting in great highlights, shadows and skin tones. amazingly, it gives you the fine grain of a 100 iso film, but with 200 iso sensitivity. the exposure latitude of negative film means that even if you don't get your exposure dead-right, you'll probably still have a watchable film.


twice upon a time by will & george
this is a great example of the versatility of 200t. will and george shot interiors and extreriors with various combinations of daylight and tungsten. the crazy light trails are achieved using long exposures on a moving bicycle.




the stages by corlin stubbs
this was shot in a california avocado grove, corlin's film shows how the same stock can perform really well in bright sunlight too.




compatability
the latitude of this negative film means that even if your camera mis-exposes it slightly, you'll still have a watchable result, but if you want your film to look great, check your instruction manual to make sure that your camera exposes the cartridge correctly. 200t cartridges have a filter notch built in so you don't need to canibalise the cartridge at all - just set your camera for tungsten or daylight in the way it's designed to be set. before you shoot, check out our post on filters here.
