Kodak Vision 3 500T color negative film 7219

vision3 500t is a colour negative film much like the 200t, but faster. it's amazing low-light performance means it can capture pretty much what you can see with your eyes at dusk or even at night. we've been really impressed by how fine the grain is for such a fast film.

this film was made for our screening at sheffield doc/fest last november. the speed of 500t allowed mat to keep his picture bright and crisp with depth of field that would be impossible on a slower stock.

also made for sheffield doc/fest this film was shot at night in a dark industrial environment - it's a great illustration of the ability of this stock to capture pretty much what you can see with the with your eyes in very low light.



compatibility
not a lot of cameras will read 500t as standard so you may need to use a seperate exposure meter for this one. this film has the same great latitude as 200t so you you've got a reasonable margin for error. if you're shooting your whole film in low-light you'll probably want the aperture wide-open anyway, if that's the case, almost any camera will work fine
500t does not have a filter notch in the cartridge, so you need to make your own - more on this here.
