Kodak Vision2 500T 65mm Film Stock, 10m

• 10m for respooling
• For 120 film or 70mm backs
• Tested at ISO 160

The 10m of film can be used to spool 120 film yourself; to do this, the film must be trimmed by 5mm. Alternatively, the film can be used in most 70mm backs for medium-format cameras.

The film is wound onto a spool inside a black bag, which is in turn placed inside a film can. Only open the can in complete darkness!

The predecessor of V3 500T and a very versatile film that was used for numerous movies in the 2000s. V2 500T works well at any time of day, especially night shots have a color palette with a vintage look.

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.

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. 2009 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.
