But if this is the only color film available, is it flexible enough for push and pull processing? Kodak Gold has a surprising tonal range for a consumer film. Gold 200 will easily push 2 stops to ISO 800, and pull 3 stops down to ISO 25 and still produce beautifully saturated prints and scans.

As I mentioned, Kodak ColorPlus 200 has pretty good exposure latitude and performs best slightly overexposed. After shooting and developing a few rolls, I’ve found it best to meter at the box speed of ISO (ASA) 200 or 1 stop overexposed at ISO (ASA) 100.

Can you push Kodak ColorPlus 200?

Can you push and pull it? Yes, but not much. Some say ColorPlus is best rated at 100 for the shadows. It can also be pushed one stop at 400, and pushing it two stops is also possible, but images becomes somewhat muddy since it lacks the exposure latitude of other pricier films.

Is Kodak Gold 200 good for beginners?

Kodak Gold 200 is a consumer-grade film, meaning it’s cheap, readily available, and really hard to mess up. According to Kodak specs, Gold 200 can be overexposed three stops and underexposed two stops and still produce a decent image! This is why it’s also great for beginners.
