Hard to judge if the cameras and lenses were different. The shots from the camera loaded with FujiColor missed focus quite a few times. From a color/contrast perspective, the FujiColor is MUCH more saturated and contrast-y/ It feels like the Kodak has slightly more dynamic range though as the shadows seem crushed a bit more on the Fuji.
I personaly love cooler colors, for everything, hit up for that depression 😅. So I always pick up the fuji c200, I don't have fear to that contrast and to that green, bring it up. Well everything go with personal taste, I do mostly nature stuff and street photography, I don't do paid portraits so I don't need that nice skin colors. So everyone has their taste for their needs. I just love that cooler tones, and it seems like all films tend to have that warmer tones :( We need more cooler films, if I want warmer colors I'll go for ultramax or something, it's like fuji c200 is the only one which is not warm
As someone who's dipping his feet into film after having known digital, this is a very refreshing channel. Keep it up guys! Hope you can do a session here in Baguio in the future.
Initially I preferred the Fuji C 200 for the saturated colours, but looking at the dynamic range of the Kodak Color Plus I totally agree with you. I very rarely shoot colour at 35mm, only about 2 rolls a year but I’d be interested in these films at 120 but shooting landscapes instead of portraits. You can get negs scanned as TIFF files so you have total control over editing like with RAW files. It isn’t that more expensive. I know nothing at all about videography, zilch, nowt, I thought I’d point that out before asking my question. The colour on you in this video was out, unless you are very unwell and a bit green. I have no idea if it was your white balance or some colour science you’ve been playing with, only you know that. It doesn’t bother me in the least, I’d rather have good content and especially so if it helps the newbie like this does. But when you post still images in the video does that colour on you being out affect the stills in the video? I know if it’s the lighting you use for the video then it doesn’t, I do understand different colour temperatures and white balance for stills photography I just don’t know if it’s out for one part of a video if it’s out for the entire video. A good video, especially for the newbie. Very well done indeed. I’m not sure if it’s been released yet but I think like most stills photographers at the moment I would love to a comparison between Acros and Acros II when it’s out. I have a feeling TH-cam will be flooded with comparisons when it is released though. As it isn’t a cheap film and Acros II will be even more expensive I will donate a roll of the original film from my treasured stock. It’s a little out of date, but been well refrigerated.
For me Fuji C200 match perfectly the skintone, so as a portrait photographer i personally use this one; but at the end of the day it's up to you. The two rools has different attitude; what i really hate about Kodak Colorplus 200 is about the blue shadows in low light conditions.
I don’t think you can go wrong with either. Both have a great look :) the contrast and saturated colors of C200 are beautiful. And the more faded almost pastel color of gold also has a wonderful feel.
I've been shooting c200 for nearly 40 years. Have a freezer full from the sale for the 24 roll at the end of last year when they transitioned to 36. I have always preferred it for consumer grade. Although might change to only Kodak now that film is on life support.
I love both fujicolor c200 and Kodak colorplus 200. They're both great budget film options for color but they both have their ups and downs. When I look at Fuji color photos up close I see more grain than I do on Kodak colorplus, but I'm fujicolor it has a more saturated and contrasty feel to it with hard Shadows which I personally like more. Kodak colorplus also has good more true-to-life colors opposed to the more green biased and saturated fujicolor. All in all before watching this video I absolutely loved all in all before watching this video I absolutely loved Kodak colorplus 200 over fujicolor c200, but after watching it I'm starting to love fujicolor a little bit more then Kodak colorplus. But at the end of the day I will continue to use both films as a great budget color film.
Thank you for doing this comparison. I like the way you compared these two films. As you said, "real world" vs a more clinical approach. If I were to choose between the two of these for scenic or downtown tourist type shots, I would pick the Fuji for the contrast and saturation, but in my opinion the Kodak is superior for people pics with it's great skin tones and pastel look. Nicely done!
For personal work, I prefer to overexpose C200 by 1 stop. I find that it lessens the green cast in the highlights and shadows while retaining the punchy contrast.
i think if you're talking about editing the scns to simulate the look fo the other then kodak would be better because c200 has more contrast and loses some detail in the shadows. Adding contrast and shadows to the colorplus is easier than trying to get those shadow details out of the c200. Colour wise they are both great in different environments and ofcourse colour is a personal taste, but pure image quality and dynamic range kodak would be more forgiving and easier to edit afterwards
Great video, Derald. Great comparison. I've gotten great shots with both stocks. I probably choose the stock based on the season. Kodak in Summer, C200 rest of the year. The green wall really pops on the C200, which is to be expected. It also looks to me like the Kodak has a bit more tonal range and shadow detail, which is nice in some scenarios.
I came to hate the C200, although I shot a lot of it, mostly when testing some new-old lenses or bodies, but I have to say in this particular video, the C200 looked better. Otherwise I actually love the ColorPlus, mostly because it is far less grainy than the C200, the C200 looks like an impressionist painting, but not in a good way, when scanned. I tend to overexpose my photos by at least one or 2 stops, and C200 starts to look better when overexposed 2 stops with some yellowish shifts, but still ColorPlus just feels better. It has been said that Fuji has made their films in a particular way, so that Asian skin tones look better and more natural, and that makes sense, while the same has been said for Caucasian skin tones about Kodak. This is the first time I'm actually seeing side by side comparison with same scanner no retouching and I have to agree, C200 skin tones look better to my eye than ColorPlus. Otherwise I also do like the muted colors of ColorPlus better. I wonder how would those films look overexposed 2 stops in the same environment.
I love them both. Colour+ for portraits, because the tone curve is softer, with better dynamic range. C200 for snaps, and street. I really like C200, but I didn't know much about colour plus.
I like the “down to earth” quality and slower pacing of this video. I zone out when watching photography sites that are overly clinical with fast talking presenters.
Hello. I use both films but i was curious to see a test to compare them in equal situation. Your video is good because you shot photos you made at the same time, same situation , same lens. I really appreciate that. Your video help me to understand few details about those films, and im very grateful for that. it will help me in the future. Have a nice day, thumb up for you and cheers from France.
I prefer ColorPlus in this comparison, by far. It’s cleaner, more subtle and has more realistic colors. There were maybe two photos that looked better on the Fuji :) I’ll try Fuji with some nature maybe 🤔 After seeing this, I’ll be more careful what scenes to choose. Thanks
Great video, thank you! Up until now, I’ve mainly used Kodak colour plus, and overlooked fujifilm, to be honest I think the branding on the box makes it look so pedestrian, but I’m now going to get some rolls of fujifilm C200 to try as I love the results you got here!
I prefer the lower contrast of the Kodak in the people pictures but I would like the Fuji if I was photographing landscapes and city scenes. It’s all relative though so use what you like fellow photogs
this is a helpful comparison and I think your breakdown is well done. the fuji c200 seems to have a bit more saturated color while the kodak colorplus feels more neutral. there are definitely pros and cons to both and ultimately the choice between the two comes down to personal preference
I shot my first roll of ColorPlus yesterday having previous shot quite a lot of Fuji C200. And I can say that I much prefer the ColorPlus. And your video confirmed that. To my (subjective) eye the skin tones were better and I preferred the lower contrast as highlights seemed better controlled. The Kodak also looked sharper than the Fuji.
Honestly both look great, and variaty always makes things more fun personally, Fuji, Kodak, Polaroid, digital, new and old I'll shoot them all just for the fun of it, heck, I just found an old Sony Mavica FD75 to shoot images on floppy disk just for the fun of using odd retro hardware
Producing on film since 1996, I always... I mean ALWAYS over exposure by one stop. Color Plus I set to 100 and meter at 100. Always get wonder results from this film, including great skin tones and good saturation.
When I was first starting out, I really HATED the C200. Didn’t like the high contrast and green tint. But now I’m starting to like it. Refreshing look compared to most “pastel” toned film photos nowadays.
Better skin tone and more detail and less muddy ness in the Kodak. Kodak is flatter, less saturated. As a portrait photographer I would probably go with Kodak.
This is really interesting - I'm out looking for which film to load my Stereoscopic set up with and then this comparison video makes side by side examples which turns out to be crude stereo pairs !
Out of habit, whenever I go out to buy films for work, I buy a few rolls of C200 anyway. It's like this everyday use film that I don't mind popping. If you consider the cost and couple it with a legendary point and shoot like a contax t2 or the Olympus mju II, it very well may be the most versatile camera system ever coz you are ALWAYS equipped to take great fucking images.
Any suggestions how to learn to properly take Film Fotos? I bought a Canon EOS 1000FN on Ebay and Im using a Kodak Gold 200. Often the pictures are a little blurry (as some in this video). It seems that the Kodak Gold 200 needs a lot of light for a bright picture while this requires a long shutting speed, making the images blurry and unsharp. That’s atleast my theory. I mainly use the automatic modes with auto focus.
Wow thank you for this! Both are great. I just used my fuji c200 for my recent photoshoot.. can't wait to use my ColorPlus 200.. have you tried using Portra 400 for portraits?
Amazing video.I have one question which is not related to above video, Do u think film cameras r addictive because there r lots different film camera's r available & it's makes to buy ? I bought Pentax k1000 & after one year of using it , I decided to buy another one & then I bought the Vivitar V3000s which has a same Mount as Pentax & Nikon fm2n which the internal light metre won't work.Any suggestions would be more helpful.
Hard to judge if the cameras and lenses were different. The shots from the camera loaded with FujiColor missed focus quite a few times.

i think fuji c200 has Cooler tone while kodak is warmer.
It is actually the other way around
Better contrast
Why do the shots from C200 look out of focus?
thisbeing_ that’s when you take a photo without your glasses.
agree on this. but starting from 2:17 it seems like it's another way round.
@@Grajinso it's almost as if it's the operator and not the film stock that determines if the lens is focused or not!
Because they are.
He wears glasses so the diopter adjustment on the cameras may not be set properly.
Fuji has more contrast while and Kodak has that pastel look
Btw, did you used wide open apertures during the shoot ??
Aperture setting was around f2-4. Would've preferred to shoot at small apertures if there wasn't overcast.
I like the greens on the c200. But if I have to pick between the two, I’ll probably get the kodak.
Both are cheap. But gets the job done
I like the c200 most
I personaly love cooler colors, for everything, hit up for that depression 😅. So I always pick up the fuji c200, I don't have fear to that contrast and to that green, bring it up.
Well everything go with personal taste, I do mostly nature stuff and street photography, I don't do paid portraits so I don't need that nice skin colors. So everyone has their taste for their needs.
I just love that cooler tones, and it seems like all films tend to have that warmer tones :( We need more cooler films, if I want warmer colors I'll go for ultramax or something, it's like fuji c200 is the only one which is not warm
Hello, you try Kodak, ISO 800
36 exposures for Kids Birthday
Parties. Weddings, special occasions & more.
I just love what the Kodak does to colors! The washed out feeling looks amazing! Thank you for the video, very informative!!
As a beginer I like Kodac during golden hour and fuji during overcast day. And thank you for featuring my photo.
As someone who's dipping his feet into film after having known digital, this is a very refreshing channel. Keep it up guys! Hope you can do a session here in Baguio in the future.

You can get negs scanned as TIFF files so you have total control over editing like with RAW files. It isn’t that more expensive.

Great Vid once again guys...

Other say that if you’re gonna use the C200, dial the ASA settings to 100 , it’s better looking
For personal work, I prefer to overexpose C200 by 1 stop. I find that it lessens the green cast in the highlights and shadows while retaining the punchy contrast.
Yey! Ito po yung hinihintay kong content, finally! Thank you Thirty Five Studio! :)

ColorPlus is more sharper in my opinion, either way both film has its own intensity
Sunny day - fuji
Cloudy sky - kodak
Great video, Derald. Great comparison. I've gotten great shots with both stocks. I probably choose the stock based on the season. Kodak in Summer, C200 rest of the year. The green wall really pops on the C200, which is to be expected. It also looks to me like the Kodak has a bit more tonal range and shadow detail, which is nice in some scenarios.
Love those portraits on ColorPlus - Well done!
I liked the photos more on the C200 and so did he.
I'll buy that one.
Some photos Kodak, and some Fujifilm.. both are great
Cath and I look so cute here! Nice meeting you guys 💘💞
We had fun during our random and sudden encounter! haha. It was nice meeting you! Let's do a collab next!
U are very cool

Otherwise I also do like the muted colors of ColorPlus better. I wonder how would those films look overexposed 2 stops in the same environment.
Iliyan Stoyanov I agree with Fuji C200. It looks good with +2. I have seen the reviews for Superia xtra 400. It also looks good at +2.
I love them both.
Colour+ for portraits, because the tone curve is softer, with better dynamic range.
C200 for snaps, and street.
I really like C200, but I didn't know much about colour plus.
also much depends on who does the scanning...
agreed
I like the “down to earth” quality and slower pacing of this video.
I zone out when watching photography sites that are overly clinical with fast talking presenters.
I took the exact same conclusions as you did Derald. Need to try C200 now 😀 great video!
You should, try Kodak ISO
800 , 36 exposures, on a sunny day 🌞 when it's
Nice & warm, not when it's raining
Thanks, good idea to try this!

We're glad that this video helped you. Cheers Geoffrey!
The Fuji c200 definitely has more pop and the Kodak seems to have less saturation, but nicer skin tones
Kinda liking the c200 more. Great comparison 👌
c200 all the way :) thanks for the vid
Colour Plus 200 for my money. Better skin tones which is surprising. I thought the Fuji colour would be better.
Definitely Fujicolor for me. I just bought some fresh rolls (1st time) and will use them in our next vacation! Thanks for this comparison video!
Great vid! I kinda like the color plus more for its tone on portrait shots. More vids on this pls!
I prefer ColorPlus in this comparison, by far. It’s cleaner, more subtle and has more realistic colors.
There were maybe two photos that looked better on the Fuji :) I’ll try Fuji with some nature maybe 🤔 After seeing this, I’ll be more careful what scenes to choose. Thanks

Love the kodak pastel look
Colourplus looked surprising good for it's cheap price. You said it was no portra but I like to see them both compared . Cheap Vs expensive 35mm film
I prefer the fugi 200 for darker skin tones. The rendering is so much richer than the kodak colorplus.
I shot my first roll of ColorPlus yesterday having previous shot quite a lot of Fuji C200. And I can say that I much prefer the ColorPlus. And your video confirmed that. To my (subjective) eye the skin tones were better and I preferred the lower contrast as highlights seemed better controlled. The Kodak also looked sharper than the Fuji.

will be buying the kodak next timeee
i like the contrast of fujicolor, but if i want to take something more clear, i'll go for the kodak
Good comparison, to me de fuji may be better for landscape whereas the Kodak seems better choice for portrait.
Lomo 400 vs portra 400
Producing on film since 1996, I always... I mean ALWAYS over exposure by one stop. Color Plus I set to 100 and meter at 100. Always get wonder results from this film, including great skin tones and good saturation.
I was surprised as to how much I liked the Kodak. Going to have to stock up.
Kodak Ektachrome E100 VS. Fuji Provia 100f
Just loved Kodak photos!!
Love your videos so much. Keep up the good work
I usually lean towards Kodak, but this video made me think other wise.
When I was first starting out, I really HATED the C200. Didn’t like the high contrast and green tint. But now I’m starting to like it. Refreshing look compared to most “pastel” toned film photos nowadays.

I like the Kodak less contrast is better for tweaking.
Highlights are blown on the Fuji. The Kodak holds the highlights very well.
Kodak flat soft contarst film people use to love back in the old days.
Even now there are people still use and love film look...
You have a problem with the camera that shoots the C200 all not in focus :-)
Kodak ultramax 400 vs. Fuji Xtra 400 😂
Enrique Sacay Kodak wins. Ultra 400 is way better than extra 400
Ultramax 400 of course
Both nice. The Kodak is more pleasing to me.
Fuji Eterna 500t vs. Kodak Vison3 500t
I prefer the Kodak Colorplus
Out of habit, whenever I go out to buy films for work, I buy a few rolls of C200 anyway. It's like this everyday use film that I don't mind popping. If you consider the cost and couple it with a legendary point and shoot like a contax t2 or the Olympus mju II, it very well may be the most versatile camera system ever coz you are ALWAYS equipped to take great fucking images.
Nice comparison video. Thanks for making it.
thanks a lot bruhh for made this video 🙌🏻
Quality content, my dude.
Honestly I like both in their own way
Good comparison bro !
Appreciate the comparison! Very real world. I like the Kodak.
Most of your Fuji C200 shots looked bloomy or unfocused compared to the Kodak but the Fuji does shine in some areas
Thank you so much for this great video!
Thank you!
nice!, i hope next showdown is fuji superia 400 vs ultramax 400, or kodak gold 200 vs fuji c200
oh I didn't know that ColorPLus was such a nice film... it's the cheapest around where I'm at
Beginning in film here, why the Fuji seems out of focus?
He just missed focus, it's not a problem with the film
Team fuji for life duh, i only love portra series when it comes to kodak tbh
Love the style of the Kodak, but the Fuji seems more punchy.
i like of colorplus film 200! great video
About Expired Films pleaseee
as a beginner, what film can you recommend? and where do you usually buy cheap film nowadays? Im located in the PH too.
really nice pictures :) I loved it
Funky thing, the greens on my photos are dark (kinda black) with C200 just like your Colorplus photos. I wonder what would happen if I use Colorplus.
Any suggestions how to learn to properly take Film Fotos? I bought a Canon EOS 1000FN on Ebay and Im using a Kodak Gold 200. Often the pictures are a little blurry (as some in this video). It seems that the Kodak Gold 200 needs a lot of light for a bright picture while this requires a long shutting speed, making the images blurry and unsharp. That’s atleast my theory. I mainly use the automatic modes with auto focus.
You should get a camera with autofocus
Kodac seems truer colour!
Hi! Im an avid watcher of your videos :) i just started with film photog and i just wanna know if you have any ideas on where to buy APS film rolls?
thanks for the video ❤
Can we use these films on a 35mm cam? :)
Jessica Tuazon yes, you can. :)
Fuji color is so much nicer IMO. Cooler, more contrast... more classic or vintage feel
Ultramax vs Lomo400 soon! Haha
Kodak T-Max 400 vs Ilford HP5 400
Wow thank you for this! Both are great. I just used my fuji c200 for my recent photoshoot.. can't wait to use my ColorPlus 200.. have you tried using Portra 400 for portraits?
Yes! Check our Portra 400 vid :D
Amazing video.I have one question which is not related to above video, Do u think film cameras r addictive because there r lots different film camera's r available & it's makes to buy ? I bought Pentax k1000 & after one year of using it , I decided to buy another one & then I bought the Vivitar V3000s which has a same Mount as Pentax & Nikon fm2n which the internal light metre won't work.Any suggestions would be more helpful.
Hola, gracias por la información, saludos.
