Kodak ColorPlus 200 is Kodak’s budget color film… sort of. Even setting aside the fact that across-the-board price rises mean that no color films can really be called ‘budget’, ColorPlus also isn’t even notably cheap among Kodak’s range. It can be found for pretty much the same price as Kodak Gold 200, the famously warm-toned sunset-loving film with which it shares a lot of DNA, and it’s only a dollar or so cheaper than the high-speed Ultramax 400.
However, a dollar is a dollar, and ColorPlus’s relative affordability means it’s consistently one of the most popular color stocks around, and often sells out quickly. But does it have much to recommend it in its own right, or are people just sorting by price, low to high, and clicking ‘buy’?
