craig_sander Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was downtown last night having dinner, and I went into a gas station, and while I was standing there waiting for my change, I noticed some film behind the counter. There were a few boxes of Kodak Gold 200, and then two boxes of something called ColorPlus. I noticed the boxes read Kodak on them as well, but I have never heard of this film before.Anyone else know what these were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25asa Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I very much doubt this film is the same as Gold 200. It may be a relabelled VR Plus film which is sold in some stores as well across Europe and the Aldi stores in the US as well. The only thing you can do is buy a roll and see what the edge markings may say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_sander Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Now I'm curious. The box was yellow and had red markings on it, which led me to believe it was 100 speed film. Problem is, it was a 36 exposure roll for 8.99. I don't know if its worth it, but I sure would be interested in finding out exactly what it is.

anibal_almendra Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have to off those rolls. Kodak Color Plus Film 36Exp./poses Film CAT 611 0076 ISO 200/24? DB 135-36 Process C-41 Made in U.S.A Finished in Mexico Expires in 08/2009 I have not try it yet, since I am using a Chinese Film Called VASTCOLOR ISO200 the next roll will be one of those Kodak. I hope it helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel_hardy_vallee1 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I bought some Kodak Color Plus in a drugstore a while ago. It was about 3$ for a roll, a little more if I took included processing. Edge marking says Kodak 200-8. It's pretty crappy stuff in objective terms: poor saturation, grain, not too much sharpness, etc. With some experimentation, I'm sure one could coax it into interesting things, but I'll stick to Gold 200 the next time I need drugstore prints.

daniel_l_stad1 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 <p>The Kodak ColorPlus is one of my favoruit films for most of the reasons mentioned, It is a low quality film that i think responds nicely to "push printing" (scanning) whit interesting color casts and grain.</p> <p><a title="steam oslo by damin_kyre, on Flickr" href=" title="steam oslo by damin_kyre, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3105/3093155322_9466a4d6b1.jpg" alt="steam oslo" width="500" height="332" /> </a><br> This is a scan of a slightly light damaged frame, that was originally under exposed 1 stop and corrected in scan/digitizing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
