Premium Member Hunter Hampton Posted December 16, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 16, 2008 Just wanted some opinions on what the most adaptable film from kodak would be. I am new to s16 and I just got an a-minima which takes kodak film only. I was thinking 7217 because its a decent speed for indoors but its also not so fast that after an 85, you wouldn't have to throw a ton of ND in front of the lens for outdoor use. Thanks for your tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted December 16, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 16, 2008 '17 in my book. With an 85 it's 125 ASA which lets me drop in NDs if need be, or get a deep stop in less than ideal conditions. and often I can get by rating it @ 200 with just what's in the room when I'm under T. I like the stock and if I'm stuck on a budget and can't afford anything else, that's what I'd reach for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 16, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted December 16, 2008 I agree, Kodak 200T 7217... or Fuji Eterna 250T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Rodgar Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yes, Kodak '17 is very versatile. Though I am liking Fuji's Eterna Vivid 160T more and more lately. Certainly not the best for night work, but then 200 speed film isn't either . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing Howe Yam Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think the combination of Kodak's 7217 and 7218/19 is a unbeatable combination. I agree with David on the Fuji's 250T as well. The two Kodak stocks I just said also work very well together as in matching, I ran into a problem where I ran out of the '17 and I took the '18 and rated at 320 to clean it up grain wise and it intercut perfectly with the already existing '17 footage in a short I did.

I have one of those cameras and I always seem to end up with one of these three stocks: 7201/50D, 7205/250D and 7218 or 19/500T. -Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There's a parallel discussion going on right now on CML about this subject. My Aaton does not discriminate, it handles both Fuji and Kodak stocks equally! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Hunter Hampton Posted January 7, 2009 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have a set of illuminas that I use - I have been pretty happy with them. I do like the a-minima a lot though-even if its fuji prejudice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
