Kodacolor (still photography)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Kodacolor.

In still photography, Kodak's Kodacolor brand has been associated with various color negative films (i.e. film intended for making color prints with) since 1942.[1] Kodak claim that Kodacolor print film was the world's first true color negative film. The Kodacolor name has subsequently been used on several negative films, including Kodacolor-X, Kodacolor VR and Kodacolor Gold.

Latterly, the Kodacolor name has been used less frequently, with such films often using the Kodak brand alone.

[edit] Kodacolor-X

Kodacolor-X
Maker: Eastman Kodak
Type: Color print
Process: C-22 process
Introduced: 1963
Discontinued: 1974

Kodacolor-X was a color negative film manufactured by Kodak between 1963 and 1974.

The film was designed to be procesed in the C-22 process, which was the predecessor to today's C-41 process.

Only a few speciality labs still process this film, due to the length of discontinuation. Surviving Kodacolor-X and C-22 films can still yield images, although it requires highly specialist recovery techniques.
