without all these 'cheap' rolls, many Christmas' birthdays and family memories would never have been captured
:D
This guy is honestly underrated! Great content and editing.
Hi Noah, My best results using UltraMax 400 were taking autumn colors last fall. Trees with orange leaves shot at box speed gave me wonderful results.
I really love Ultramax for fall afternoons, the colors do really well with the foliage without being too saturated.
I love Ultramax 400. Last summer I got to experiment with long exposures with it since I was photographing very distant lightning and I am very happy with the results.
Your reviews are outstanding!
I personally use ultra Max, when I’m testing out a new camera or one I just repaired. It’s a great cheap film that help to identify any issues with light leaks. That what I personally use it for. And when I just feeling like having fun and messing around with my settings and trying new ideas, it’s a great film for that too.
Thank you for a great video, I appreciate all your other videos too!!! It’s extremely helpful!!!!
I wish more places carried Kodak. All the stores around me only carry Fujifilm.
Grace Arrance it’s the complete opposite for me, I find Kodak quite easily but none of the Fujifilm, the only exception being C200
Walgreens carries Kodak Gold 400.
Travis Tobin the Walgreens in my town only sells Fujifilm unfortunately
Except for Kodak Ektar, Fujifilm is better anyway.
Amazon has all of them
Polavision might be a kinda fun video topic! It was this weird experiment in the late 1970s where Polaroid tried to combine Super 8 with instant photography, so you could have “instant” home movies... didn’t take off at all, but still a pretty cool engineering feat
I love this video. Ultramax was the first film i ever shot good job.
My girlfriend and I split a three pack and I'm so happy you mentioned night photography with ultramax because that has definitely been my favourite aspect to this stock
Great channel for anyone into analogue photography. Here's a list of films I want to see a review in the near future:
Fuji Velvia 50,100
Fuji Provia 100f
Fuji C200
Kodak Proimage 100
Kodak Ektar 100
Cinestill 800T
Lomo 800
Shangai GP3 100
Ilford FP4 Plus 125
And make a video on Color Motion Picture Films as well.
Looking forward to it !!!!
This film is one of my go to color negative films along with Colorplus 200
I love this film and it is definitely also my goto film for casual color photography
would ultramax be god for portraits?
UltraMax was the first roll of film that i shot. I should buy more of it. Its one of my favs
Very much like Supermax and the results I’ve gotten with it
Kodak Ultramax 400 was the film that I shot the most when I was a kid-teenager. I think it’s a good film to start shooting film photography. Nice color balance and it could be considered a fast film so it helps you avoid motion blur/shake
Great video!
I just picked up a roll of Ultramax today to test out a Canon AE-1 with 28mm 2.8 lens I got for $80 at a pawn shop. Hoping it’s functional.
Ultramax 400 has very warm colors like a yellow filter.
Ultramax is my go to any day
Huh, whenever i've shot Ultramax 400, i think in many shots it tends to lean to a very blue-ish green colour, and having the reds really strong. Not sure about that, i learned a lot from this!
I only shoot Gold and Ultramax and I find the look of Gold 200 pushed to 800 to be one of my favorite film looks ever, colors seem stronger and they seem to have a larger range of contrast. Ultramax is really good too, I use it mostly for 1600ASA nights and it looks really good in my opinion. I shoot Fuji's Superia line sometimes but the green cast on shadows and dark shots bother the hell out of me so I tend to use it for bright sunny days only.
I picked up 6 rolls at B&H for less than $5.
$5 for 6!?!?! :-) I know -- per roll. Search around online and you can score some for closer to $4/roll (not expired).
The 24exp is $13 for 3. The 36exp is $6 EACH

Wow now in B&H it’s $7 per roll!
Wow, now it's $10.99 per roll!
I love shooting deep reds with Ultramax :)
Shot one of my favorite pictures on UltraMax but my true favorite film is Ektar 100. When I need a 400 speed film I normally use Portra 400 or Lomography 400. My wife gets the cheap stuff, Ultramax and Color Plus. I would like to see a review for Kodak Pro Image 100 or the new Ilford film Ortho. If your in the states and looking for cheap high quality developing, there is a guy on ebay who does all my film.
Thanks again for your film reviws

It’s my favorite film and I use it 90% of the time in my Leica IIIf. I like the color, tolerance for warm weather, and price. Additionally in Lightroom for many of my pictures, I’ll click on black-and-white to see if I like it better. When blach and white looks better than color, Ultramax comes through too. So if I get it she only wants film for black-and-white and color, it would be Ultramzx
Speaking of scanning -- I was looking at the Downtown Camera options -- which resolution did you use for these shots? And jpeg or tiff? Thanks!!!
UltraMax 400 was the first film a shot with and to this point I’m yet to find anything that makes me as all round satisfied when considering price/colour/grain etc. is it the best film there is? No. But at AUD$20 for a three pack it’s really hard to beat.
Jean Coutu may still sell these in Canada - exp 2021 or so
I know this isn’t the topic of this vid but what lens are you using. I noticed the distortion on the edges of the screen and dig it
Thanks!! Was just searching for cheap film. Gonna try it out 😊
I shot Ultramax at my brother's wedding and it actually gave impressive results.
Would you shoot UltraMax 400 at 200 ISO as others do for Portra 400 to get a "pastel-look"?
Sorry I couldn’t edit my last line that got garbled. I was remarking that if I could have only one film for color and black-and-white images, it would be Ultramax 400.
The Walgreens near me still still 3 packs of UltraMAX... for like $20!!!! Big sad. Great vid as usual homie
Standard price for that pack in the UK - this makes me sad.
Mine does too. But hey, they have it.
Mine too. The only option around me is either Colorplus 200 for the same price at CVS or (depending on the location) FujiColor 200 or Superia 400 at Walmart
I tried to search for large format themed videos on your channel but couldn't find any... have you reviewed large format equipment, or can you in a future video?
I plan to in the future for sure!
Although more easily available (sold at my local pharmacy), I prefer Kodak Gold over Ultramax, Kodak Gold gives more saturarated colours which I prefer for landscape photography and the skin tones look more real with Gold
I like over exposing Kodak Gold 400 and developing in black and white chemistry. Gives a really vintage film look
Interesting -- have some examples online (Instagram, Flickr)?
Have you shot any Kodak Pro Image 100? It's a pretty cheap 35mm color negative film, and from what I've seen from others (I haven't developed any of mine yet) it looks like a really nice film! I'd love to hear what you've got to say about it!
Thanks for the video!
What camera you use and which lens for those pictures?
I'm just using a pretty common Canon AT-1 SLR along with a Canon 50mm F1.8 lens!
it's funny that Portra, Ektar, color plus200 and this ultra max 400 are cost the same price when I live - about $10 per roll)
How about Fuji C200? I think is the best consumer film hehe
are you using a helios 44? that camera in the right corner is literally a swirl
What happened to Kodak High Definition film?
You missed a mid step! There was Kodak Max between Ultramax and Gold
Used to buy Ektar 100 without hesitation and here I am thinking if it is worth spending so much money on UltraMax -_-
That looks like Toronto... :)
Yeah I feel Kodak has tiers of colour film. Colour Plus then Gold then Ultramax then Ektar then Portra. I feel UM has the best balance of price to performance.
Just went up to 5.99/roll for 36 exposures on B&H after kodak raised prices, but that's still a pretty decent price. It's personally my favorite cheap film.
15 usd per 36 exposure roll nowadays at target, it's getting pretty crazy.
did you ever overexpose and set it up at 100 or 200? or did you shoot all of them at box speed 400
As Joe Greer said always overexpose your film by 1 stop
Are all of these shot at box speed? They look amazing and even the night photos surprisingly
All at box speed!
Thanks! In my fridge (1/2 food, 1/2 film!) I have some unshot (but not expired) UltraMax 400 which needs some attention and love! Your scan quality is excellent -- very good detail when zoomed in -- seeing the grain and not the pixels of the scan/scanner! For your night shots did you use the meter of your camera (AE-1, right?) or did you guesstimate the exposure settings? Yes -- has that "classic" Kodak home snapshot look -- which is not bad. It adds a character than "crispy" digital photos lack. I find that shadows in Superia 400 definitely pull out the dark green, where most Kodak films at least render the colors about right in the shadows, if a bit muddy and grainy.
Where do you recommend buying your 35mm film in toronto area?
Downtown Camera!
i had no idea GOLD and Ultramaxx were the same lmao i thought Gold was better then both Ultramaxx adn color plus
It work for the cámara canon rebel G?
Yes!
It’s cheaper to buy in three pack Fuji is mostly 36 exposures where I picked up I’ve been using Fuji film. I do have have this film have not seen pics yet it’s in my Olympus stylus
And now weirdly the 36Exp for this film is gone. We only get the 24Exp for the same price. Wtf.
seems like a nice film but I never used it, for some reason it's pretty expensive where I live - at 150% of gold 200 and twice the price of colorplus it doesn't make much sense, even pro image 100 is cheaper. really weird.
I don't know why, but my Ultramax pics had much less grain than my Portra 400 pics and also they came out much sharper.
interesting
You remind me of Dave Baruchel
Hi
Something weird on this video... looks like you are using a chroma... or lens with border aberrations... whats going on???? btw, now that the prices are rising, this is a very good film option in my opinion.
I’ve been experimenting with adapting lenses from 16mm cameras onto digital! It’s definitely a little weird though
@@AnalogResurgence it's so interesting. Look for projector lenses they have a petzval style bokhe (or bohke or blurry stuff) and they are pretty cheap!
sounds like kodak gold is superior !
jay baruchel in disguise
I just don’t see film at drug stores anymore.
heck yes. portra is NOT the vibe.
