"Ron Baird" wrote in message ... Although the films you note are gone, T-Max was introduced as noted, which brought a whole new emulsion technology to the fore. We do still invest in research for film products. Hey, Ron-- Can you tell me anything about VR200 film? It seems to be some kind of budget item. I bought it in packs of 4 rolls for $3.99. I can't find any reference to the stuff in the Kodak web site, but the film was all currently dated stuff. Is this emulsion a reincarnation of Kodacolor-II? |

Hi Jeremy,
Just saw your post, so thought I would share what I have on that film. GOLD 200 Film is a great film in its speed class for saturation, accuracy, & sharpness. At the same time - since you noted ROYAL GOLD 200 Film - it offers excellent image structure making it ideal for enlargements. Contrast is slightly lower than GOLD 200 Film which is not necessarily an advantage/disadvantage. The VR 200 gives you good balance of color, grain, & sharpness and is really designed for the value-conscious user. You should be able to find it in stores like Aldi and others of that ilk. Hope this helps. Ron Baird Eastman Kodak Company "Jeremy" wrote in message nk.net... "Ron Baird" wrote in message ...

Dear Ron and others,
Speaking of the future of things... E100 got re-engineered recently (from E100S to E100G) to make it much finer-grained. Someone at Kodak told me E200 was going to undergo a similar improvement. Do you know anything about this? Thanks, -- Clear skies, Michael A. Covington Author, Astrophotography for the Amateur www.covingtoninnovations.com/astromenu.html |
