Availability: In stock

Kodak Professional Ektacolor 400, 35mm film

Format: 35mm, 36 exposures, single roll
Film type: Daylight balanced colour negative
Nominal speed: ISO 400 / 27 DIN
Grain: Fine for its speed
Contrast: Low, tuned for accurate skin tones
Colour: Natural palette with vivid but controlled saturation
Processing: Standard C-41 colour chemistry
Manufacturer: Eastman Kodak, Rochester, New York

Like most colour negative film it prefers a little overexposure to underexposure. Development and scanning are purchased separately.

Natural colour, every day.

Kodak Professional Ektacolor 400 is a high speed daylight balanced colour negative film, and in 35mm it works as a roll you actually keep loaded rather than one you save for perfect light. Rated at ISO 400.

The balance is the point. Saturation is vivid enough that colours feel alive, but contrast stays low, which keeps skin tones accurate and stops bright scenes from going harsh. Highlights roll off instead of clipping, and the results hold steady roll to roll.

At ISO 400 it handles most daylight and open shade handheld, which makes it a genuine general purpose colour film rather than a specialist one. Portraits, events, travel, and ordinary days. We process C-41 in house.

A GelForm is a thoughtfully crafted balance of temperature and contrast—bundling them into distinct looks that are both intuitive and reliable. Whether you prefer a clean, true-to-film rendering, a punchy high-contrast feel, or something with a bit more warmth or coolness, there’s a GelForm that fits your style.

We’ve created a set of unique formulas (GelForms) that unlock endless possibilities—making your photos more personal and distinctive. These are not presets, but in-scanner adjustments to get the best from your film.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose the GelForm that best fits your style and application – we apply carefully tuned formulas based on contrast and temperature. For specialty GelForms, we can also preserve details like sprockets or the rebate edge.

Each formula is unique and will render a different result. Explore the possibilities of your images by experimenting with each GelForm. (Note: Results may vary from sample images, and depend on the film stock chosen, exposure settings while shooting, and film storage).

SCANNER INFO

Each GelForm is made possible by professional film scanners that evoke different styles. To understand which GelForm relates to each scanner, refer to the table below.
