The Kodak Farbwelt 100 is a color negative film with a sensitivity of ISO 100, which is particularly suitable for shooting on sunny days, such as at the beach. In 2007, Kodak optimized this amateur film to allow even more vibrant colors.
Development of the film
To obtain images, Kodak Farbwelt 100 must be processed using the C-41 process. The C-41 development process is a standardized process for developing color negative film offered by most photo labs. Standardization of the process ensures consistent quality and availability. After development, the film strips can be scanned and printed, for example.
Formats and cameras
The Kodak Farbwelt 100 was produced exclusively for 35mm cameras. With an image size of 24 x 36 mm, 36 images fit on the film. The film cartridge of the 35mm film was equipped with a DX code. This code contains information about film speed and other parameters that can be read automatically by many cameras. This helps to achieve optimal exposure and image quality.
Availability and alternatives
Unfortunately, production of the Kodak Farbwelt 100 has been discontinued. Nevertheless, there are alternatives for lovers of color negative film in 35mm format. For example, one such alternative is the Kodak Gold 200*, which is also available in 35mm format and has a slightly higher sensitivity of ISO 200. This film offers similar color characteristics and is a good choice for a variety of lighting conditions.
Other alternatives are films from other manufacturers such as Fujifilm or Lomography, which also offer color negative films in various sensitivities and formats.
