How they look
- Gold 200
- Kodak describes it as a low-speed colour negative film combining colour saturation, fine grain and high sharpness for daylight and flash, with latitude from two stops under to three over (E-7022, June 2023). Reintroduced in 120 in 2022.
- Kodacolor II
- Kodak's general-purpose consumer colour film launched in 1972 with the 110 cartridge, and the first film for the new C-41 process. Wikipedia gives ISO 80 at launch, raised to ISO 100 from 1975, and an end date of 1983.
