Kodak films — The new box art for Kodak GOLD 200 (in both 35mm and 120 format) and Kodak ULTRAMAX 400 films.

Fresh on the heels of the newly (re)named KODACOLOR 100 and KODACOLOR 200 films that we recently highlighted, comes word that Kodak is at it again…the film repackaging business. Here are the two films that are getting the new look.

You Won’t Believe What This $10 Roll of Film Can Do—Your Instagram Will Cry!

Meet Kodak GOLD 200: the film that says “everyday” but delivers “legendary.” With its medium-speed ISO 200, daylight-balanced color, and a grain so fine you’ll think you’re cheating reality—this roll is for anyone wielding a 35mm or medium format camera and craving vibrancy. Did we mention it’s forgiving? Yes—up to TWO stops underexposed and THREE stops overexposed before it flinches. Available in both 135 and 120 formats, it’s your trusty sidekick for snapshots, vacations, and that random cat on the street. Affordable? Check. Reliable? Double check. Glamorous? You bet.

This Film Could Save Your Blurry Vacation Pics—Seriously!

Kodak ULTRAMAX 400 is the film that turns your “OOPS, I forgot my flash” moments into “WOW, I nailed it” masterpieces. With a high-speed ISO 400, daylight-balanced color, sharp detail and surprisingly fine grain, it’s basically the superhero of spontaneous photography. Whether you’re chasing kids, candids, or low-light selfies, ULTRAMAX 400 plays along. It enhances low-light performance, extends your flash’s reach, improves action-shots, and helps you dodge camera-shake catastrophes. Designed for the 135 format (yes, the classic 35 mm roll), it’s the “grab-and-shoot” companion you’ve been missing. So next time you’re about to settle for mediocre, slide in this roll instead and watch your everyday moments level up. Your camera will thank you—and maybe your friends, too.
