Give your story more detail—in any light.
KODAK VISION2 250D Color Negative Film 5205 / 7205
is an advanced, medium-speed film that delivers superior
imaging in natural daylight, artificial daylight, and a variety
of mixed lighting situations. Expect beautiful fleshtones,
accurate color reproduction, and-thanks to its wider
latitude-increased detail in shadow and highlight areas. Add
seamless intercutting with other KODAK VISION2 Films
and you have a versatile addition to your storytelling toolkit.
The VISION2 Film family is the first line of products
created specifically for both film and digital postproduction.
What's more, all VISION2 Films provide excellent tone
scale and flesh-to-neutral reproduction. With superior
shadow and highlight detail and very fine grain. VISION2
Films also maintain neutrality through the full range of
exposure. So you can convey exactly the look you intended
all the way from capture to post.
BASE
KODAK VISION2 250D Film 5205 / 7205 has an acetate
safety base with rem-jet backing.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
darkness.
STORAGE
Store unexposed film at 13
°
C (55
°
F) or lower. For extended
storage, store at -18
°
C (0
°
F) or lower. Process exposed film
promptly. Store processed film according to the
recommendations in ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998: for
medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at
10
°
C (50
°
F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30
percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of
material having permanent value), store at 2
°
C (35
°
F) or
lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active
use, store at 25
°
C (77
°
F) or lower, at a relative humidity of
50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling
rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and
curl-related problems are generally minimized at the higher
relative humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to
the appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as
soon as possible.
For more information about medium- and long-term
storage, see ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998,
SMPTE RP131-2002, and KODAK Publications No. H-1,

EXPOSURE INDEXES
Daylight (5500 K)—250 Tungsten (3200 K)—64 (with
KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 80A)
Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light
exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds
or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings
of average subjects made from the camera position or for
readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance
held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light-
or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure
indicated by the meter accordingly.
