What are the implications for film formats like 16 mm and Super 8?
Our industry is very creative and collaborative. As such, customer input is critical to the development of any Kodak product that supports our filmmakers and their craft. Our customers have been very satisfied with the look and image quality of the VISION2 family of films, but they were looking for an expanded range of capabilities. This new product offers the ‘look’ of 5218 in normal exposure. In addition, 5219 has superior latitude; at least two full stops compared to 5218. Furthermore, the image quality of scenes captured with 5219 in the under- and overexposures are improved relative to 5218. Our advanced Dye Layering Technology provides grain improvement in the underexposures. 5219 also offers improved highlight detail compared to its predecessors, which lends an advantage in post. A greater amount of information can be pulled from this film more quickly and efficiently.
