Have not shot it myself but did find this review worth reading. It's a step below Gold 200 but for the price it's hard to beat.

Lots of user reviews on Amazon:

$32 for 10 rolls shipped is a great price too.

I shot around 16 rolls last year. I have 4 left. I don't mind using it at all. I prefer it over Fujifilm Xtra 200 or 400. It has a more pleasing earth tone look to it, whereas the Fuji has a bluish green tint in the shadows. My favorite stock is Portra.

Thanks for the comments.
I only Develop and Print black and white. I have been wanting to take a shot at color, but so far........so any color film i shoot gets sent to The Darkroom. They have also printed quite a few frames (of this color 200) for me. It has looked fine to my eye.
It reminds me of color film, circa 1970, that my parents would have used if we went to Disneyland, or some other family event.
Perhaps that is One Reason i like it, it reminds me of my long-gone childhood. :icon_smile:

I concur. It does have a vintage feel to it. I think it is very under rated as is the Kodak Ultramax 400.

Haven't used this but have used plenty of Kodak Ultramax, or Kodak whatever else there's been in recent years. I like Portra too. I used to like Agfa Vista but I don't think what's being manufactured now is the same film as it used to be.

That's it JC! that's why I've never liked Fuji film as well as Kodak - a light bulb went on and now I realize why - too cool in tone.
