Kodak UltraMax 400 | 135-36
Kodak UltraMax 400 is the do-everything, daylight-balanced color negative film for real-world shooting. At ISO 400 it gives you extra speed for handheld photos indoors, in shade, or at golden hour—without losing the classic Kodak warmth people love. Colors lean vibrant and crowd-pleasing, with lively blues and reds, flattering skin tones, and a touch more punch than pro stocks. Grain is moderate for a 400-speed consumer film and adds a pleasing texture, especially when overexposed. UltraMax’s generous exposure latitude keeps highlights smooth and shadows usable, so it’s perfect for point-and-shoots, disposable cameras, and SLRs alike. It handles mixed lighting better than most budget films and pairs beautifully with on-camera flash for parties and night street. Negatives scan easily with strong color separation, making quick edits simple. Whether you’re traveling, shooting family moments, or covering casual events, UltraMax 400 delivers consistent, affordable results. Develop in standard C-41 chemistry at any lab.
