Kodak Gold 200

What Kodak Gold 200 actually looks like — 25 photographs shot on it by members here.

ISO 200 · Color negative · 25 photographs · 8 developing recipes

Kodak Gold 200 is an inexpensive consumer color negative film with a warm, nostalgic look — strong yellows and golden light — that recalls family snapshots from the 1980s and '90s. It has long been sold in 35mm, and since 2022 in 120 as well, which made it one of the cheapest ways into medium format color.

Like most color negative film, it handles overexposure well, so it is happy in bright sun and forgiving of a cautious meter. In dim light at ISO 200 the shadows go muddy and the grain shows, so it is best kept for daylight. For more speed in the same consumer style, compare it with Kodak UltraMax 400; for a more neutral, professional look, Kodak Portra 160.
