Kodak Vision2 100T

[Guest Frank]

I am shooting a commercial soon for the Kodak student commercial awards and I am thinking of using the new vision2 100T, '12. I've used the old EXR 100T quite a lot, 4 stops down and there's nowt, but I hear that the new stocks have a lot more latitude.

Could someone who has used this stock tell me exactly how many stops down it is to absolute black and simularly up to white. I guess I have to take into consideration the fact it'll be TK to video. How will that effect when the image goes to black?

 

cheers, frank

ps: first time on, hope I did it all right!

Compared to the older film, Kodak VISION2 100T Color Negative Film 5212/7212 will be sharper, and the tonal scale will be more neutral from deep shadows to extreme highlights. A bit lower in contrast, with more natural color/flesh tone reproduction.

 

With normal exposure (EI 100T), you should find rich, neutral blacks with good shadow detail. If you don't have the light, I suggest using a faster film like 5217/7217 rather than underexposing.
