Product Information
KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Super 8 Film is a tungsten-balanced motion-picture negative film for filmmakers working with 3200 K illumination. Kodak rates it at EI 500 under tungsten light, with a daylight EI of 320 when used with a WRATTEN 2 Optical Filter / 85.
Latitude for demanding scenes
Kodak’s Dye Layering Technology is designed to reduce grain in shadows, while Sub-Micron Technology provides 2 stops of extended highlight latitude. The result is a color negative designed to retain useful image detail from shadow areas through bright highlights.
Built for motion-picture workflows
This acetate-base film is processed in ECN-2 and is designed for digital-intermediate workflows as well as traditional post-production. Kodak notes that the extended density range requires appropriate scanning practices to retain highlight information.
Exposure and handling
The film is balanced for 3200 K tungsten illumination. Store unexposed film at 13 °C (55 °F) or lower, or at -18 °C (0 °F) or lower for extended storage. Before use, allow cold film to warm to room temperature; handle unprocessed film in total darkness and do not use a safelight.
