Kodak Gold 200 film

I have fallen in love with Kodak Gold 200 film! It is considered a "budget" film, but it gives you amazing colour. It is also the only film available to buy in Walmart's up here in Canada as far as I have seen. Like the rest of my reviews this is just a general impression of this film and not an in depth study of it's technical merits. All photos are scans of the prints I got back from the lab, with a little post processing to sharpness and contrast to clean up the scans. The prints look a lot better than the scans do.

Like I said it gives you amazing colour, especially the blues. Blues seem to be this film's strong suit, they are so bright. This shot was taken along the waterfront in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.

And I find that the film captures great detail for such a cheap film. This shot taken at a local wetland conservation area offered a lot of different "textures" and I think the film handled it pretty well.

I have shot it with my Minolta X-700 and my Yashica Minister D (and am waiting for my test roll shot through an Olympus Trip 35 that I recently picked up), and I am very happy with the results I got from this relatively cheap film. It will be my go to colour film for general photography.
