Kodak Gold Max 800 Print Film

Kodak Gold Max 800 Print Film 

DESCRIPTION

This versatile, 800-speed film picks up where 400-speed films leave off. When used indoors, the faster speed extends your flash distance. Outdoors, it stops fast action and allows a faster shutter speed. Ideal for fast action and low light. MAX Versatility Plus Film reduces blur in fast-action shots and captures subjects in low-light conditions. Ideal for fast action and low light.

Strength:

Good for general use.

Weakness:

Color contrast vary. Sharpness loss and grainy results (well, what do you expect from high speed film).

1. Recommend for low light situation.
2. Not recommended for enlargement.
3. Easily can be purchased at any general store.

Strength:

It is suitable only for extreme cases of low light - like a campfire.

Weakness:

Extremely contrasty and grainy.

Kodak 400 is a much better film...Use the 800 only if absolutely necessary.

Strength:

I don't.

Weakness:

Grain, saturation, some lattitude problems.

Like the 200 and 400 versions of Gold (not Royal Gold) this film has no reason for existance. Just get the NHG2-800 from Fuji instead. I can't think of any reason other than that this film is dirt cheap and NHG2 isn't.

Customer Service

Why bother.

Strength:

I don't like it...

Weakness:

This film is very grainy and finicky. The exposure has to be very exact. Kind of ironic for a faster film that supposedly should have a bigger lattitude. Even Popular Photography (Aug or Sep 99) issue had the same findings (and numerours complaints about it, which prompted the review).

I would not bother with this film.

Strength:

i dont really like it

Weakness:

can you say grainy
if you underexpose, you get even more grainy
expensive

took a bunch of rolls on vacation- big mistake, got most of the shots, but you could see the grain for sure (adds mood sometimes, but not intended)- should've gotten 400 and just be more careful, especially with a zoom P&S

Model Reviewed: Gold Max ISO 800

Strength:

This film did extremely well in poor lighting as you find in many indoor sports events.

Weakness:

Photos did appear grainy. Expected a little better quality with action shots than I received.

Would not use again until I try some other brands.

Model Reviewed: Gold Max ISO 800

Strength:

Good general purpose film when lighting might be an issue.

Weakness:

Prints are a little grainy, but its light range makes up for it. Doesn't seem to reproduce cool colors as accurately as Fuji.

Not my first choice of film. I prefer Fuji Superia. But if I need an 800 speed film I get this one.
