Dealer’s V2 250D

• Respooled Kodak Vision2 250D
• Fine grain & pronunced colors
• One of the most versatile motion picture films
• Films that were shot on this material: The Bourne Ultimatum, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lives of Others

The predecessor of V3 250D and a versatile film that was used for numerous feature films in the 2000s. The strengths of the V2 250D are particularly evident in bright scenes. Furthermore, the film reacts to overexposure with a pastel color palette, which is not a problem thanks to the broad dynamic range.

Since the film is expired, it is recommended to develop it in ECN-2, where the colors are pronounced and realistic, while the film gets a more 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 partially corrected 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 approx. 2008 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.
