Imago500 was spooled from large cinema film reels into 35mm cartridges for 35mm cameras (from fresh film). This is a 500 ISO film that is tuned for shooting in tungsten light (3200 K) and has excellent rendition of skin tones. In daylight it loses some sensitivity (320 ISO) and Kodak recommends the use of a conversion filter No. 85, but the colour cast can also be corrected during scanning.
There is only a slight noise effect with underexposure, but we recommend overexposing the film. The improvements that Kodak has made to this film produce digitisation results that are ideal for post-processing.
Characteristics:
- Colour negative
- 500 ISO (no DX code)
- ECN-2 process
- Artificial light
- Fine grain
- Ideal for scanning
- Easy post-production
