A New Color Negative Film for the Digital Future

David Long, Mike Ryan, Roger Morton

With the design of the Kodak Vision2 500T/5218 color negative film, a new film technology optimized for both the conventional optical and digital post-production worlds, has been introduced. Though resolution and grain improvements comprise a large part of the advances offered by this new technology, film sensitometry and color reproduction have also been carefully engineered to facilitate improvements in neutral scale control and digital post-production productivity. All of this is made possible by silver halide technologies that significantly reduce grain, and film-building technologies that shape a new standard of photographic performance in a world of digital applications.
