Well, after using Portra, Kodak Gold 200 is a bit of disappointment. These
are using the UC Hexanon 4/200mm zoom lens:

They are excellent shots, but what a difference between these and porta.

Fully agree. The shots are superb, but the grain cannot compare with Portra.
Anyway I like them, the 1st i my fav.

Regards.

I like the dragonfly, I didn't notice it for a moment!
The grain seems exaggerated when scanned - I wonder what an RA4 print would look like?

The grain give character to the first.

It's my favorite ones.

Thanks for the comments, fellas. Kodak Gold 100 is quite a distance from
Kodak Gold 200 when it comes to grain. I think some are slightly underexposed in these, which didn't help.

HI Katastrofo

Don't you like the slide film? It can give more detail image to scan.

But your K 200 are very goods endeed.

Rino, I'm about to load a roll of Sensia 100 in the T4 with the UC Zoom.
The UC Zoom is one of my favorites, here's a couple I've shown before
using Kodak Gold 100, expired:



Same camera/lens.

Seems to be a big difference between the two films, the grain is much
more pleasing in the 100 film.

The 200 has more grain, a more iso more grain.

Greats pics with the H 80/200 .

Bill, the first two pictures in the thread are wonderful. Deserving to be in a photo book.

You are a master at flowers.

Orio, too kind, thanks. I wish I would have used slide on these, but oh
well. Here's another from that same outing, sans dragonfly, that came
out a little better:



The dragonfly pic has zero hits on flickr, (posted it to several groups) and
this one not posted to any, has several hits, I guess people know what
they like. lol

I rather like it (the KG200). Grain-free results are fine, but a bit of grain now and again, keeps you regular.
Anyway, I have a fridgeful of it now, as freebies from the pharmacies giving it away, so I've got to say that.

You and me both, Dave, I have about a dozen rolls of KG 200 in the fridge and I will bygod shoot it!

I've only got and used 200 Gold for colour and find it saturates well....sometimes too well. I did notice the grain but assumed it was down to the lab.

Great images Bill!.

Thanks, Martin, I blame the lab for the excess grain as I've had better
results with this film.
