Kodak Ultramax is the ultimate colour Beginner's Film: fast, flexible, and forgiving of exposure errors! In Kodak's technical description they discuss that Ultramax 400 gives better results than other entry-level colour films with zoom lenses, it has greater flash range, can take better ‘stop-action’ photos, and will show a reduced impact of camera shake.
All of these are down to the fact the the film needs less light to capture an image - so it takes less time and all the above things are possible.
Kodak Ultramax 400 uses the same T-grain emulsion as T-Max, which are known for producing finer grain and lower contrast than ‘normal’ emulsion, so you know that the chemistry is there to back-up the marketing claims!
Brilliant for holiday snapshots in a variety of lighting situations, and perfect for late-night parties.

It's my go to film for testing any new camera. particularly toy cameras. It allows me to get a feel of what I can do with them without being too expensive

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Yes I think that's really smart - Ultramax gives you the colour check as well, versus testing with Kentmere or similar - great thinking!

This is the film that defined my childhood.

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Ah of course! It was pretty ubiquitous for family photos :-)

[@RobMoses]

Looks good. I'm gonna try it out. Thanks for making this video.

[@AnalogueWonderland]

My pleasure! Yes definitely if you haven't shot Ultramax before, it's worth a spin :-)

[@robzdrone9599]

I shot my very first roll of color film with the ultramax. I'm still learning. Shooting with film isn't easy for me, and I'm even more intimidated by color film, but I really really loved the colors. Just got a portra from you last week, can't wait to see the differences.

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Ooh fantastic! And don't worry - we're all still learning :-) that's one of the joys of film! Would love to see what you think of the results - Kodak Ultramax vs Portra...

[@dzsokee]

Thank you for the video, I will try it for sure :)

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Perfect! Glad it's helped ☺️

[@tamar_tutiashvili]

Please make fuji Xtra 400 and 400H reviews too 🥰

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Haha we're working our way through!

[@beatricev26]

is it good for indoor photography?

[@AnalogueWonderland]

yep! works well with flash for the retro look as well

[@beatricev26]

@@AnalogueWonderland i don’t have a flash in my manual camera so i wanted to know if it works well indoor without flash 😬

[@AnalogueWonderland]

@@beatricev26 ah sorry! Then yes it will - as long as the light is reasonably bright. So in a well-lit lounge or kitchen - great! In a dark bar or restaurant - probably not so much. Does that help?

[@beatricev26]

@@AnalogueWonderland thank you very much!!! 🙏🏻

[@gottanikoncamera]

It’s my go-to everyday film. I much prefer its look to Portra for street and everyday photography. Portra is too pretty.

[@AnalogueWonderland]

I've never heard anyone say that before - but I know what you mean!

[@LiamFitz]

Stand out comment about this film, why not play football with the film, experiment with it 😂

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Hey - I'm not judging! 😂
