The basics
Process: C-41 colour negative
Speed: ISO 100
Look: Fine grain, normal-to-medium contrast, natural skin tones
Format: 35mm, 36 exposures
Best for
Travel, holidays, portraits, social events, and anything shot in bright sunshine.
Kodak Pro Image 100 is a 35mm colour negative film (C-41, ISO 100, 36 exposures) with fine grain, normal-to-medium contrast and lovely natural skin tones, and it's balanced for daylight so it really comes into its own on bright, sunny days.
What I love most is the backstory. Kodak brought it out in 1997 for Asian and South American markets, so it was made to cope with heat and humidity and stays fresh at room temperature without living in the fridge (good news for anyone whose fridge door is already full of film). It's also Kodak's most affordable professional stock, sitting somewhere between Gold 200 and Portra, so you get that pro look without the Portra price tag.
It's a forgiving film too - it holds the image well if it sits around for a while between shooting and developing, and it scans really easily. Don't get me wrong, it isn't trying to be fancy, but for travel, holidays, portraits and social events in good light it's a pretty lovely thing to have in your bag.
