I thought I had already used all of Kodak’s color negative films still in production, but I somehow managed to miss out on the Pro Image 100. How does it compare to the readily available Gold 200 and the Portra 160? Let’s try to find out.
\nProcessing (C-41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany, the pictures in this article are from one roll of film.<\/em><\/p>\n

In terms of price the Kodak Pro Image 100 sits inbetween Gold 200 and Portra 160. It is also said to be based on older emulsion technology, but interestingly it is still in production. Maybe the machine producing it still didn’t break, who knows.<\/p>\n

As ususal I didn’t put a lof of effort into researching what to expect from this film and for a change I ended up being positively surprised.<\/p>\n

I mainly used it during sunset time and I found the colors to come out quite nice.<\/p>\n

I also used it indoors under artificial light and while it does have a bit of a warm tone (as was to be expected) it does look more appealing to me than Gold 200 when C-41 processed.<\/p>\n

Compared to Portra 160 the blues also look a bit more neutral instead of teal.<\/p>\n

When looking for an ISO 100 film for daylight shooting I would definitely consider buying Pro Image 100 again. I also think it would actually be a better fit to Portra 400 and 800 than the Portra 160.<\/p>\n
