Phillip Mosness Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Possibly a silly question, but after years of using it, it just occurred to me that Kodak went with a 500 speed film instead of 400, which would be more natural in terms of stops than 500. 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 etc. Is there a particular reason for this? Was it because it was the fastest they could get with the best of grain structure possible? I might as well ask the same for 250 D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Probably more a commercial question than a technical one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Burke Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I think that you have almost answered it. It seems to me, and it is pure speculation on my part, that the speeds are the "ideal", offering maximum flexibility, from fine grain to maximum sensitivity. It is hard to think of a more flexible stock than 5219. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
