Brice Pancot Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Hello! As DoP on a short film produced by La Femis (french school) in 35mm, I used the new Kodak 5260 (500T, vision 2). It was very nice : it offers a great contrast, saturated colors and a it's more grainy than the vision 3 stock. I took the stock at 400 or 320 ISO, to have deep blacks. Did someone use this new stock ? I'd like to have your opinion on this! Bye!

Glad to hear Kodak finally brought back a stock with some "oomph" (contrast).

Glad to hear Kodak finally brought back a stock with some "oomph" (contrast). Yes, it is! Kodak describes it as a stock very similar to the EXR 500T but with the vision 2 generation technology and characteristics (more latitude and different grain structure). It comes from the DoP request to have a very contrast and saturated stock (more than '18 or '19). But the '60 is only available in 35 stock (not super 16). I shot outdoor, in Bretagne (French west coast) and the result is nice : it gives interresting colors in the landscapes or in the sky. It gives also some grainy texture, but nice on faces. From my experience, I would say that the '60 is a great stock. Kodak says it approximatively gives to the DoP a 10 stops latitude. See you!

Thanks, Brice. Now, I just wish they'd bring back 5245/7245. -Fran
