same, I’ve been buying the Kodak one since day one

I was so backwards during this thinking which film stock was which. I feel like the C200 got a much warmer tone than any time I’ve personally shot with it and the Kodak gold almost had a weird green tint that I would expect from the C 200

That’s in lab scanning. Recently I personally re-scanned my rolls from the last 3 years and boy I said “wow” too many times. They looked completely different from lab scans. Possibly because I was scanning and inverting with the least software interference possible. This kind of scans from C200 are indeed greenish, when software counteracts that they turn yellow-orangey as in the video.

Great comparison video! I personally have loved the results I’ve gotten when using C200. Congrats on 100K!!

Really need to get into film photography. Those 2 film stocks look so good. It's 50/50 to me, depending on the image. Colors look great

OMG FINALLY A VIDEO ON KODAK GOLD 200 !!!!! yayyyyyy congrats on 100k once again !!

Oh yeah, i've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. And now it's here!!!!

Congratulations for 100k subs! You are the one who made me come into film photography ✨

This was so helpful! I’m just getting into film photography and I’m definitely looking for something with a more interesting color palette. The Fuji c200 seemed to have this sort of peachy undertone in all the photos and looked a little more dreamy! I’ll be checking it out for sure!

Been watching you for two years. Congratulations on 100k!!! 🥳🎉🎊

Congrats my man!! You got to 100k!! The sky is the limit!! Let's get to the top!!

Just recently purchased a roll of each of these, both expired in 95' so very excited to shoot both and see how they compare! Thank you for the video!

Congrats on 100k!!! Kodak gold for the win, that warm color and that very particular blue in the sky...basically all of my childhood photos in the 90s, I ordered a big pack of this for shooting my own new baby actually.

I am brand new to film photography and I’m a new subscriber! Your videos have helped me so much so far. I’ve been shooting mostly on Kodak gold but after seeing this side by side I want to try my hand at c200

I like your page! You really gave great tips on film photography and I really enjoy it! Keep doing! That's great!

Gold will forever be my go-to film. Cheap and cheerful, warm and inviting, with just the right amount of grain.

C200 can be great if given a lot of light - however, the thing that always pushed me away from it and having me prefer Gold and ColorPlus is simply that C200 has crazy color shift. The slightest amount of shadows will turn exposures heavily into green/blue. I prefer the more consistent and warm tones of Gold.

Thanks! I thought I was the only one who could not come to a final conclusion. My compromise now is Fuji for green landscapes and forests. Kodak for portraits and cities. Roughly: the wilder, the more Fuji, the more cultivated, the more Kodak.

I’ve always preferred Kodak Gold. Like it more than Portra too.

I actually like the pastel-ness of Fuji, but I’m excited to try out Gold 200 since I started shooting it this year :)

Fuji C200 is my first love, works best with my Canon FTb. Sadly the price has gone extremely high altho it's still cheaper compared to most films. If you like Fuji C200, might wanna try Lomo 400 and 800 as well, pretty great films!

Daaaaang. I prefer C200 for sure. A bit more rich in tone with that magenta. If you ever want to shoot in Sac, let me know. Would love to meet up as I live there and love shooting with others.

great video!! i def prefer the warm tones in fuji c200 & literally just ordered some :)

Wowww, I definitely prefer the colors on the Fuji in this shoot! Definitely gotta try it now 🔥

congrats bro for having 100k subscribers finally

I would like to add that C200 is really nice when pushed to 800. In my experience Kodak (consumer) films are really bad at pushing and become really, really yellowm but most fuji films stay quite neutral, making it a good option for high contrast street photography on a cloudy day

I think they were both very good, however I liked the Gold 200 a little better. Great video!!

Did you shoot at box speed? Use the camera's light meter? (Sorry if I missed it in the video.)

Good start to the morning 👍

One thing I've learnt from this video: scanning process MATTERS a lot. I always get scans that make me wnat to give up on film, but the only "good" scanner that is available (other than the ones my dark room guys have, at 10$ the whole process) is at the Fuji store and they are more expensive (15$ the whole process) and even then, sometimes i also got bad scans. I am considering Fuji XT2 scanning at this point to cut expenses. Any tips, thoughts, etc on this?

Wow c200 looks very nice. I think those colorshifts are happening in dark conditions. So I think it is better to overexpose a bit in those situations to avoid this green shadow. But in the bright situations it was phenomenal! The colors are so beautiful.

What shutter speed and aperture have you used in most photos? I'm new to analog photography and I'm a bit lost. Thanks.

Nice review !

Great video man! Personally love both but here where I'm at I'm seeing fuji c200 being slightly more expensive otherwise I'd shoot it as much as I do Kodak Gold. I noticed 8:13 you said fuji is more pastel AND more saturated. Lol i knew what you meant but just sounded funny to me.

It looks like the gold has quite a bit more dynamic range, you can especially tell in the bridge shot with both the sky and the arch.

oh god im falling in love with the fuji C200 alreadyyy

thanks for the comparison! i love using budget film to shoot myself. I actually did a video on my channel comparing the ultramax and C200 :)

Wow...this was done in Sacramento...not far from where I live 🥰 I like both of these films, but if I were to choose one to use on a regular basis...I would choose the Fujifilm. With these 2 brothers work, the Fujifilm gave more appealing results for me. I will be buying each one this week and testing them out in my Minolta X-700 and Nikon FE. Excited to see how they work for me 🤗

I like both, cp give nice warm watered colors, but from my expirience sometimes gets crazy with warm colors even to the point where its destroying the picture. About fuji, I like the saturation, the pastels, and again in my expirience it gets those crazy shifts less often. I would pick the fuji for architecture and landscapes cause I think the effect of saturation and color pallets suits it more. As for kodak I would definitely go for it with portraits and golden hour pics.

I like the gold for the naturally warm colours and they are very lifelike compared to the c200 which can have a strange tint

Hi, I'm new to film photography and I recently bought an Olympus Pen EE2, any advise on how I can fully maximise its usage and the best films to use? Thank you! ✨.

Both films are beautiful - will shoot both. A very nice review. And that is one of the benefits of film photography - if you get tired of one camera-film combination, the solution is simple - just change your film!

i feel it will be meaningful to try these out during blue hour as well if one is warmer then how will it react when the sky and tones are more blue i wonder.

Did you shoot at box rate for both stocks? Thank you!

Because of This video im ordering some Kodak gold to try with my canon eos 650 it looks amazing!

Hi! Im just gonna ask, if outdoor pics we would still hv to on the flash right?

idk why i only subbed now. ive been watching ur stuff since like early 2020 hahaha. I'm sorry

Hello, thanks a lot for these wonderful videos. Which film can give grainy effect? Can I get that with fuji c200 shooted at 400? I'm still learning so bear with me I beg you.

I wonder if white balance can fix the colour shifts. I have used these 2, as well as Konica, but I never compared them so it is nice to see this video.

How ironic I got some gold 200 short expiration date on sale from reformed film lab and then you upload this. I actually preferred the C200 shots, they seemed warmer even though fuji is known for greens and blues. Can't beat the price at $3.35 a roll though.

Is Fujifilm Superia 200 the same thing as C200 just a different name, or are they 2 completely different films?

I started out with Fuji Superia 200 and 400 which I think the C200 is essentially the same as Superia 200. Could be wrong. I have alot of experience shooting it. But I also have started shooting more Kodak Gold since my local camera store stocks it too. So mostly I am happy shooting with either one. I like the Fuji rendition of greens and blues so I will keep that in mind if I have a planned shoot but besides that I can work with both.

I just took up photography as a hobby and I was looking for a film that has that 70s look and I think the Fuji c200 is the one. Thank you!

It's discontinued unfortunately

I have the feeling that you sometimes mixed up the pictures?! Have you guys used the same lenses? I have shot both several times..I go for gold!

Is a good idea overexpose kodak gold for portraits? i mean shoot it on 100iso.

Are you shooting these at box speed? Some of the Fuji shots look slightly over exposed. Or maybe that’s just the color shift

Can you shoot these two films indoor with flash?

Ive looked into these films and this is the first time Ive really noticed that the Fujifilm 200 is warmer than I thought, or maybe its just the colour profile. I see the more of the yellows on the Fuji and the Kodak Gold felt like it was more green than I thought it would. I normally would only shoot Kodal Gold and never tried Fujifilm 200. Gonna need to do my own test.

Think it’s the editing bro

In the decades that I shot film with Nikon glass, I preferred Fuji because of the warmer palette and apparently more saturated colors.

Gold. I cant stand the magenta shift of c200. Though superia is great for nature stuff so c200 would probably work well there too. I think they both have their time and place.

I do prefer C200. Love the colors ! I used to test the kodak gold but I wasn’t happy with the result. I guess I have to try it next time I shoot a film now :p

The fuji c200 i feel is my favourite the warmer colour it gives is just cool

I don't think I feel any differently about C200 vs Gold 200 than how I feel about UltraMax 400 vs Superia XTra 400. In warm light, Gold 200 lives up to its name, but it's not always my favorite for skin tones. C200 does have a weird red cast to it, but I love it for the cooler daylight temperatures of winter or overcast skies.

Man Fuji C200 looks amazing. I think I preferred the Fuji colors here.

I've been shooting Fuji since the 90s as I prefer how it renders green (miss Fuji Press), how got some Kodak gold in the fridge ready to give it a go

i think the colour of Kodak Gold is more 'honest' than Fuji C200, it's simply beautiful. however, Fuji has a pastel look and nice contrast that i loved too haha.. sadly, Fuji is little bit pricy here in Indonesia.. but if i had to pick one of those for daily use, it gonna be Kodak and Fuji is just for occasional.. btw, your content is just great, bud.. keep it up!

I hope you guys stocked up on Fuji because I can't find any C200 in Singapore and with fuji pulling out of the market, it looks like they are rebadging Kodak gold 200 as the new Fuji 200. Its likely to trickle down into 100, 400 etc.

Fuji C200 all day! I feel like Kodak Gold shines in a very colorful setting especially with the corresponding warm lighting. So in San Francisco I’ll probably go for it. But in an european urban environment Kodak Gold always gives me these brownish tones which I‘m not enjoying at all. Fuji C200 really helps to pull out color so nicely if there isn’t much and it emphasizes concrete and urbanesque look and feels even if it’s on a cooler note.

I’ve found both films to be great. I have also found that the Fuji (both c200 and Superia 400) like to be a bit overexposed.

I started with Fuji C200 and now the film I shoot most is Gold 200. I think it is a more reliable film, even expired, and holds better when you push it (richer tones). Still love C200 but I think if photos have no rich color and lights they look like opaque with this film

Really interesting the film comparison, it would be great if you can take extractly the same pic with same setting same focal length so untrained eyes like me can really spot the difference

Gold by a mile for me. Nice capture!

Do you overexpose these films? What is the result?

Kodak got that warm cali tones which i love

They’re both niceeee what a predicament

Hm, difficult! In my opinion, the C200 won more of these "photo battles", but I am not sure if the conditions were always really the same. What I mean: it seems that the C200 photos are often slightly overexposured and under these conditions: the C200 catched the mood often much better.

I'm kinda torn, I really do like both. I haven't shot the Fuji Superia yet though. I really dig the greens it pushed out.

Have you tried shooting the Gold at 100? I really think that’s when it really shines.

Depends on how much foliage is in the shoots. the greens look better on the kodak but the Fuji had a certain vintage feel that can work. but its a style

I think C200 is different from Superia, isn't it? I got confused by the description of the video D: I love Kodak Gold, for me it has a kind of LA vibe for some reason BUT... I prefer C200 tbh

get back to videos like this my man!

I've never seen Fuji C200 look so magenta. I've shot a lot of it, and sometimes it has a very slight greenish or cool tint, but never magenta. It's been a while though, so maybe they changed their formula???

I think these photos are heavily edited. The C200 shots were really warm compared to Gold so I assume this comparison doesn't make much sense as we can't really see the difference between them.

I’m starting film photography lately and watching your videos really inspires me a lot kuya✨

wow, I was ready to clown on C200, but blind I chose it *every* time. C200 looks so rich and nostalgic, Gold looks like early digital cameras. 5D looking. That C200, maybe just overexpose it to keep from the green.

For me its Kodak gold all Day, ive tried Fuji a few times but i never really like the more pale and colder colors, and all the green tones. Dont really get that you said the Fuji had more saturation? I feel like it was the other way around, that the gold had more saturation, and also love the warmer tones of Kodak gold! 👌🏻

What happened to the giveaway can you only enter if you have insta ?

Funnily, it also seems that the Fuji produces more portrait oriented images than the Kodak does... ;-) (added after finishing: I remember as a teenager (before digital photography) I really liked Fuji's "in your face greens and blues", because they made things so much more lively. Having grown up (a bit) and going back to film I thought, I'd pick up some Fuji stock, but found the emphasis on blues and greens a bit too "nervous" and now (for color negatives) prefer the warmer (and calmer) Kodak stocks... Of course the stocks from 30-40 years ago and today's stocks are not directly comparable, but my point was, that "you can't eat pizza every single day" - taste and preferences change... I guess it is a good thing, that we still have choices in color film stock...

I feel that the Kodak gold 200 had brighter color, and was more vibrant. The Fuji C 200 looked more washed out. But like everything else in life the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

There's something about magenta that I am not a fan of. It's a feeling that lives in my bones. In other words, that Kodak Gold is looking super nice.

I was actually amazed at how many times I thought Kodak Gold was the C200 because of the green tones in the shadows.

Inspiration mann🙏

I always have the feeling that Kodak Gold doesn't do the colours right... I prefer Fuji C200 too. Thanks for sharing.

I really wanna shoot some C200 now, only issue is that I can’t find it anywhere :)

hi! i just got into analog this early year and kodak gold was my first roll. i plan to use fuji c200 as my 2nd and by this video i got a clearer comparison between two. thanks for the video!

I preferred the kodak gold photos as I have never been to where you were shooting I'd hope it looked more like the kodak gold photos with the better colours but this is my opinion

I like both but usually leaning towards Kodak. Fuji is mostly made (at least I think so, from what I’ve heard) for the asian market and therefore supposedly renders asian skin tones better. I could be wrong. The weird thing is some of the images seemed for Fuji more warm and vise versus the Kodak pictures. I think both a very capable depending on the situation and lighting. Kodak might be better for most portraits. Just my two cents.

To my eyes, the Kodak Gold wins here because its colour reproduction looks more realistic, whereas the Fuji C200 looks to have a clear magenta color hue/cast.

Where do you buy Fuji C200? No one has it here in the US. None of my local camera shops, B&H, or Adorama have it.
