Can someone give me the full name of the Kodak E200 film that is so popular? Is it the Elite Chrome 200?


Thanks,
Robert W.

Robert,

The 35mm consumer film that I
like for astro is Elite Chrome 200.
The PROFESSIONAL version (what I'm
told is the same emulsion) is called
E-200.

Medium format rolls -- 120 or 220 -- are
only available in the professional emulsion,
i.e. as E-200.

Hope this clears things up. (Kodak's
"professional" emulsions are refrigerated
at the retailer. There may be other
differences that I'm unaware of. But the
advertised spectral sensitivities and
response [density vs exposure] for Elite-Chrome
and E-200 are, I'm told,the same].)
