Dealer’s V1 250D

• Respooled Kodak Vision1 250D
• Pronounced grain & punchy colors
• Older material with its own look
• Films that were shot on this material: City of God, Memento, Cast Away

The predecessor of V2 250D with a unique color palette. It is recommended to use it with sufficient lighting, the film also reacts well to overexposure. Slight color shifts may occur in difficult lighting situations.

Since the film is expired, it is highly recommended to develop it in ECN-2, where the colors are pronounced and realistic, while the film gets an experimental look in C-41.
In low sun or very warm light, an 80A filter is recommended, otherwise the film tends to have a red cast. This can be corrected to a limited extent in post-processing.

Motion picture film: This film has a remjet layer, so it can’t be dropped of at a normal lab, because that would damage their processing machine! There are numerous specialized labs that develop this film, a List can be found here. Alternatively, developing at home is not complicated, a guide can be found here.

Age: This film dates from around 2001 and therefore has a lower ISO than the manufacturer’s specification, as film loses sensitivity (ISO) with age. We therefore determine the True ISO (see below in the properties), with which the film is correctly exposed.
