Kodak UltraMAX 400 - Cheap & Reliable 35mm | ROLL REVIEW

[@cs512tr]

without all these 'cheap' rolls, many Christmas' birthdays and family memories would never have been captured :D

[@rallion5980]

This guy is honestly underrated! Great content and editing.

[@plestj]

Hi Noah, My best results using UltraMax 400 were taking autumn colors last fall. Trees with orange leaves shot at box speed gave me wonderful results.

[@Exxcalibur186]

I really love Ultramax for fall afternoons, the colors do really well with the foliage without being too saturated.

[@gracearrance3461]

I wish more places carried Kodak. All the stores around me only carry Fujifilm.

[@smith507]

Grace Arrance it’s the complete opposite for me, I find Kodak quite easily but none of the Fujifilm, the only exception being C200

[@practicalimagination0909]

Walgreens carries Kodak Gold 400.

[@gracearrance3461]

Travis Tobin the Walgreens in my town only sells Fujifilm unfortunately

[@rookmaster7502]

Except for Kodak Ektar, Fujifilm is better anyway.

[@arialynch172]

Amazon has all of them

[@evanpacker6230]

I personally use ultra Max, when I’m testing out a new camera or one I just repaired. It’s a great cheap film that help to identify any issues with light leaks. That what I personally use it for. And when I just feeling like having fun and messing around with my settings and trying new ideas, it’s a great film for that too. Thank you for a great video, I appreciate all your other videos too!!! It’s extremely helpful!!!!

[@martyjackson4166]

Polavision might be a kinda fun video topic! It was this weird experiment in the late 1970s where Polaroid tried to combine Super 8 with instant photography, so you could have “instant” home movies... didn’t take off at all, but still a pretty cool engineering feat

[@EmmettRaccoon]

I love Ultramax 400. Last summer I got to experiment with long exposures with it since I was photographing very distant lightning and I am very happy with the results.

[@TheMPhotography]

I love this film and it is definitely also my goto film for casual color photography

[@zack-rp1cv]

would ultramax be god for portraits?

[@mugilandag]

Great channel for anyone into analogue photography. Here's a list of films I want to see a review in the near future: Fuji Velvia 50,100 Fuji Provia 100f Fuji C200 Kodak Proimage 100 Kodak Ektar 100 Cinestill 800T Lomo 800 Shangai GP3 100 Ilford FP4 Plus 125 And make a video on Color Motion Picture Films as well. Looking forward to it !!!!

[@neal3k]

It’s my favorite film and I use it 90% of the time in my Leica IIIf. I like the color, tolerance for warm weather, and price. Additionally in Lightroom for many of my pictures, I’ll click on black-and-white to see if I like it better. When blach and white looks better than color, Ultramax comes through too. So if I get it she only wants film for black-and-white and color, it would be Ultramzx

[@The_Traveling_Clown]

I picked up 6 rolls at B&H for less than $5.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

$5 for 6!?!?! :-) I know -- per roll. Search around online and you can score some for closer to $4/roll (not expired).

[@joshowen9054]

The 24exp is $13 for 3. The 36exp is $6 EACH www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/826744-REG/kodak_6034052_gc_ultramax_400_color_negative.html www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/27719-USA/Kodak_GC_135_36_Gold_Max.html

[@ligary6914]

Wow now in B&H it’s $7 per roll!

[@raptor1jec]

Wow, now it's $10.99 per roll!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

The Walgreens near me still still 3 packs of UltraMAX... for like $20!!!! Big sad. Great vid as usual homie

[@gorpalm1]

Standard price for that pack in the UK - this makes me sad.

[@supergeoffy]

Mine does too. But hey, they have it.

[@StickPeopleAndPuff]

Mine too. The only option around me is either Colorplus 200 for the same price at CVS or (depending on the location) FujiColor 200 or Superia 400 at Walmart

[@tylerbrocato3700]

This film is one of my go to color negative films along with Colorplus 200

[@RoodeMenon]

Ultramax 400 has very warm colors like a yellow filter.

[@nickdumais]

I just picked up a roll of Ultramax today to test out a Canon AE-1 with 28mm 2.8 lens I got for $80 at a pawn shop. Hoping it’s functional.

[@oidualclaudi0]

Kodak Ultramax 400 was the film that I shot the most when I was a kid-teenager. I think it’s a good film to start shooting film photography. Nice color balance and it could be considered a fast film so it helps you avoid motion blur/shake

[@DavidMartinez-kf9zt]

I like over exposing Kodak Gold 400 and developing in black and white chemistry. Gives a really vintage film look

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Interesting -- have some examples online (Instagram, Flickr)?

[@srenhaandbk7904]

Huh, whenever i've shot Ultramax 400, i think in many shots it tends to lean to a very blue-ish green colour, and having the reds really strong. Not sure about that, i learned a lot from this!

[@darrylayles]

My girlfriend and I split a three pack and I'm so happy you mentioned night photography with ultramax because that has definitely been my favourite aspect to this stock

[@Derginator]

Very much like Supermax and the results I’ve gotten with it

[@neal3k]

Sorry I couldn’t edit my last line that got garbled. I was remarking that if I could have only one film for color and black-and-white images, it would be Ultramax 400.

[@weridpanthegeek]

UltraMax was the first roll of film that i shot. I should buy more of it. Its one of my favs

[@favmansanimatronicsmore2377]

I love this video. Ultramax was the first film i ever shot good job.

[@fabiodoublebroad5389]

Your reviews are outstanding!

[@xzyth4079]

UltraMax 400 was the first film a shot with and to this point I’m yet to find anything that makes me as all round satisfied when considering price/colour/grain etc. is it the best film there is? No. But at AUD$20 for a three pack it’s really hard to beat.

[@nelsonm.5044]

Although more easily available (sold at my local pharmacy), I prefer Kodak Gold over Ultramax, Kodak Gold gives more saturarated colours which I prefer for landscape photography and the skin tones look more real with Gold

[@fishymm5905]

I only shoot Gold and Ultramax and I find the look of Gold 200 pushed to 800 to be one of my favorite film looks ever, colors seem stronger and they seem to have a larger range of contrast. Ultramax is really good too, I use it mostly for 1600ASA nights and it looks really good in my opinion. I shoot Fuji's Superia line sometimes but the green cast on shadows and dark shots bother the hell out of me so I tend to use it for bright sunny days only.

[@Alex-RealApplebees]

I shot Ultramax at my brother's wedding and it actually gave impressive results.

[@andrewbarnum5040]

Shot one of my favorite pictures on UltraMax but my true favorite film is Ektar 100. When I need a 400 speed film I normally use Portra 400 or Lomography 400. My wife gets the cheap stuff, Ultramax and Color Plus. I would like to see a review for Kodak Pro Image 100 or the new Ilford film Ortho. If your in the states and looking for cheap high quality developing, there is a guy on ebay who does all my film. Thanks again for your film reviws -Andrew

[@tuchenciotuch3976]

How about Fuji C200? I think is the best consumer film hehe

[@Maidaneh]

it's funny that Portra, Ektar, color plus200 and this ultra max 400 are cost the same price when I live - about $10 per roll)

[@szecek]

Used to buy Ektar 100 without hesitation and here I am thinking if it is worth spending so much money on UltraMax -_-

[@wykevanweelden]

Thanks!! Was just searching for cheap film. Gonna try it out 😊

[@StickPeopleAndPuff]

I love shooting deep reds with Ultramax :)

[@lukevoth3360]

Ultramax is my go to any day

[@rajs4719]

Great video!

[@xedalpha1]

Yeah I feel Kodak has tiers of colour film. Colour Plus then Gold then Ultramax then Ektar then Portra. I feel UM has the best balance of price to performance.

[@seanc5718]

Just went up to 5.99/roll for 36 exposures on B&H after kodak raised prices, but that's still a pretty decent price. It's personally my favorite cheap film.

[@danieljimenez1989]

15 usd per 36 exposure roll nowadays at target, it's getting pretty crazy.

[@fabiodoublebroad5389]

I tried to search for large format themed videos on your channel but couldn't find any... have you reviewed large format equipment, or can you in a future video?

[@AnalogResurgence]

I plan to in the future for sure!

[@joshowen9054]

Jean Coutu may still sell these in Canada - exp 2021 or so

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Thanks! In my fridge (1/2 food, 1/2 film!) I have some unshot (but not expired) UltraMax 400 which needs some attention and love! Your scan quality is excellent -- very good detail when zoomed in -- seeing the grain and not the pixels of the scan/scanner! For your night shots did you use the meter of your camera (AE-1, right?) or did you guesstimate the exposure settings? Yes -- has that "classic" Kodak home snapshot look -- which is not bad. It adds a character than "crispy" digital photos lack. I find that shadows in Superia 400 definitely pull out the dark green, where most Kodak films at least render the colors about right in the shadows, if a bit muddy and grainy.

[@burntoutelectronics]

You missed a mid step! There was Kodak Max between Ultramax and Gold

[@JaimeGFX]

i had no idea GOLD and Ultramaxx were the same lmao i thought Gold was better then both Ultramaxx adn color plus

[@mrN3w7]

That looks like Toronto... :)

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Speaking of scanning -- I was looking at the Downtown Camera options -- which resolution did you use for these shots? And jpeg or tiff? Thanks!!!

[@eliagard3437]

I don't know why, but my Ultramax pics had much less grain than my Portra 400 pics and also they came out much sharper.

[@olwethusilo7155]

interesting

[@ipokefan4]

Have you shot any Kodak Pro Image 100? It's a pretty cheap 35mm color negative film, and from what I've seen from others (I haven't developed any of mine yet) it looks like a really nice film! I'd love to hear what you've got to say about it!

[@aaronragasa6173]

I know this isn’t the topic of this vid but what lens are you using. I noticed the distortion on the edges of the screen and dig it

[@flipflopsLF]

Would you shoot UltraMax 400 at 200 ISO as others do for Portra 400 to get a "pastel-look"?

[@xavierbaumgartner7325]

Are all of these shot at box speed? They look amazing and even the night photos surprisingly

[@AnalogResurgence]

All at box speed!

[@messedmushroom]

Where do you recommend buying your 35mm film in toronto area?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Downtown Camera!

[@thematan18]

Thanks for the video! What camera you use and which lens for those pictures?

[@AnalogResurgence]

I'm just using a pretty common Canon AT-1 SLR along with a Canon 50mm F1.8 lens!

[@camronme917]

are you using a helios 44? that camera in the right corner is literally a swirl

[@yoly70perez]

It’s cheaper to buy in three pack Fuji is mostly 36 exposures where I picked up I’ve been using Fuji film. I do have have this film have not seen pics yet it’s in my Olympus stylus

[@Photographicelements]

What happened to Kodak High Definition film?

[@sonyviva308]

And now weirdly the 36Exp for this film is gone. We only get the 24Exp for the same price. Wtf.

[@audreywhitworth8733]

did you ever overexpose and set it up at 100 or 200? or did you shoot all of them at box speed 400

[@kissmyasthma9973]

As Joe Greer said always overexpose your film by 1 stop

[@84nomas]

You remind me of Dave Baruchel

[@sednoid]

seems like a nice film but I never used it, for some reason it's pretty expensive where I live - at 150% of gold 200 and twice the price of colorplus it doesn't make much sense, even pro image 100 is cheaper. really weird.

[@Ana-mf1nt]

It work for the cámara canon rebel G?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Yes!

[@nicksucio]

sounds like kodak gold is superior !

[@nunca_te_acostaras]

Something weird on this video... looks like you are using a chroma... or lens with border aberrations... whats going on???? btw, now that the prices are rising, this is a very good film option in my opinion.

[@AnalogResurgence]

I’ve been experimenting with adapting lenses from 16mm cameras onto digital! It’s definitely a little weird though

[@nunca_te_acostaras]

@@AnalogResurgence it's so interesting. Look for projector lenses they have a petzval style bokhe (or bohke or blurry stuff) and they are pretty cheap!

[@Katie-ur4nz]

jay baruchel in disguise

[@NickG123]

Hi

[@dflf]

I just don’t see film at drug stores anymore.

[@ninjaTy16]

heck yes. portra is NOT the vibe.
