Dealer’s V3 500T Budget

• Respooled Kodak Vision3 500T
• Expired 2010, ISO 80 – 125
• Still fine grain & brilliant colors
• Cinematic look, especially at night

Even after the expiration date, it is a very versatile film, whether for portraits, landscapes, concerts or night shots. V3 500T Budget offers rich colors, moderate ISO and a cheaper alternative to fresh V3 500T. The cinematic look is particularly strong with night shots.
In this case, the True ISO of 80 is a recommendation for guaranteed good results, thanks to its dynamic range, the film can also be shot up to ISO 125 without any problems.

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 midday sun or very cool light, an 85B filter is recommended, as the film otherwise tends to have a blue cast. Alternatively, the blue cast can also be corrected well in post-processing.

The film material that is used worldwide for movies: Shutter Island, Dunkirk, Cloud Atlas, Spectre, The Hateful Eight, Snowpiercer, The Wolf of Wallstreet

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 is from approx. 2010 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.
