Analogue Photography: Part 5 – Kodak ColorPlus 200 at Nostalgic Car Show

January 7, 2026 Martin 1 Comment

Introduction

In my previous articles, I explored two of the most classic and iconic black-and-white films: Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP5 Plus. Now I turn my eye to a classic colour negative stock — Kodak ColorPlus 200.

This film is said to be based on an older emulsion technology, one tracing back to the 1970s and 1980s (Kodacolor II / Kodacolor VR). That actually makes it older than Kodak Gold, which many already consider to have a vintage look. So this one should offer an even more vintage feel. Let’s have a look at the images.

Analogue Photography: Part 4 – Ilford HP5 Plus at a Historical Engine Factory

Introduction

After getting back into film and starting the Analogue Photography series with the iconic Kodak Tri-X, I turned to its European counterpart for this round — the equally legendary Ilford HP5 Plus. Long favored by press photographers, photojournalists, and enthusiasts who needed a reliable workhorse, HP5 Plus has earned its reputation as a versatile and forgiving black-and-white film.

For this installment, I chose a location much older than the film stock itself — a historic engine factory that felt like the perfect match: the Pythagoras Hot-Bulb Engine Factory.

I already had a look at Fujichrome Provia 400x and this time we will have a look at its predecessor, Provia 400F, another “half-Tungsten” higher ISO slide film.
Processing (E-6) was done at ProLab in Stuttgart, scanning was done by one of our readers via a DSLR. The pictures you see in this article are from one roll.

Analogue Adventures – Part 45: Fujichrome Provia 400X (expired)

In 2025 no one makes slide film faster than ISO100 anymore, but that wasn’t always the case. Back in the day there were several different higher ISO options available and Fujichrome Provia 400x seems to have been one of the more popular ones. As it went out of production a long time ago, today people pay up to 40 bucks for a single roll, so let’s see what it is all about.
