This pocket-sized publication provides up-to-date and easy-

to-use information about all K O D A K Motion Picture

Camera Films and several important related subjects. We

e ffectively. The guide is divided into ﬁve major sections for

easy re f e re n c e :

F o rmats and Packaging

O rdering Raw Stock

Brief but comprehensive descriptions of each black-and-

white and color camera film appear in the section

“KODAK Motion Picture Camera Films.” The section

“Filter Information” contains charts for color conversion,

neutral density, color balancing, ﬁlter factors, and color

t e m p e r a t u re. The section “Tips and Techniques” covers

ﬁlm storage and care, shooting for television, must items

for your on-location ditty bag, survival tools, ﬂashing tech-

niques, force processing, a ﬁlmmaker’s ﬂowchart, and

m o re. The section “Formats and Packaging” clears up

any questions you might have concerning “spec” numbers,

“iden” numbers, ﬁlm can label terms and numbers, and

packaging information. The last section, “Ordering Raw

S t o c k,” tells you how to order film and lists names,

a d d resses, and telephone numbers of Kodak people world-

wide who can answer all of your questions about ﬁlm and

ﬁlm ord e r s .

This edition includes the new KODAK VISION C o l o r

Negative Films, the highest quality camera ﬁlms available

f rom Kodak. KODAK VISION Films, which offer superior

available. These ﬁlms are based on emulsion chemistry

that uses KODAK T- G R A I N ® Emulsions and advanced

dye-coupler technology. This gives the ﬁlms incre a s e d
