Kodak 'High Definition' film?
I picked up two rolls today..iso 400
Anyone with any experience with this film? It must be a slow mover, as the expiration date is later this year, so it must have been on the shelf for a while. I'm wondering if there's a reason.. mike |

It is essentially the same emulsion as Royal Gold 400, the latest version of that film. Good stuff. -- Bill |

Kodak tinkered with its very good Royal Gold 400 to boost contrast a
little, hence creating the sharper "high definition" appearance. It's very good film for a zoom-lens camera. Buy it and freeze it, because I don't know how much longer it'll be around. -Cardamon Dave |

Ultra Color 400 is the best film Kodak makes in that speed range, although Portra 400NC is lower contrast and maybe better for weddings. High Definition 400 is grainier, especially for skin tones. It's fine if you don't have many people in your photos, and it's better than Max. Personally I wouldn't waste my time shooting it. |

I think it was not overly successful. It is merely goosed up in contrast
and is not actually in any way "high definition". -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "m II" wrote in message news:c1Fce.12774$vN2.2448@clgrps13...
