:I just saw it yesterday in Target. It came in a package of three rolls for
:$9. The Kodak site says it's a professional film but the box called it a
:consumer film. I guess film is still very much alive. As a film devotee
:I'm always glad to see new products come on the market.

I've been using it and I'm very happy with it. The results seem to be the same
as the "old" Supra films. The tech data sheets from Kodak are almost identical
between Supra/Royal Supra/UC.

I've noticed Kodak tend to call their 24 exp rolls "consumer films" while the
same film sold as a 36exp is called "professional".

I got the same impression from the info. I tried Porta UC and didn't like the
results, Kodak UC is more like their old Supra film (which I used a lot of).

Were they 24 exposure, or 36 exposure rolls?

If I rember correctly they were 24exp rolls. I doubt you'll find any
36exp
rolls of consumer films at retail outlets like Target.

Bummer. The $9.00 price is close to what I pay for two rolls of 36
exposure. I
suppose that this is available at Target is at least a slight convenience,
certainly better than mail order.

OOPS! After visiting the Ultra Color web page about sizes I see that the
135 film only comes in 36exp rolls. I guess my memory wasn't so good after
all! Look he

Okay, just a quick update. I tried one local Target near me, and they only have 400UC for $5.99 a single roll.
Also, it is a really new product for them (just started this week), so they had it on the rack without a
pricing tag on it. Perhaps there will be more soon, or the other Target near me might have a different
selection.

Ciao!

According to my Kodak technical contact, Portra 400UC and Ultra Color 400
are exactly the same film in different packaging.

I just bought a UC400 3-pack at Target, so I'll verify or disagree soon.
