Kodak Royal Gold 200

The Kodak Royal Gold 200 is a color negative film. It was in Kodak’s assortment. There was also the Royal Gold 100 and the 400.

The sensitivity of the film is specified as ISO 200. It is designed for color images.
The film should be slightly overexposed today. The reason for this is that film material loses sensitivity over time. The film is designed for daylight shooting.

Development

The development of the Kodak Royal Gold 200 must be performed in the C-41 process. The C-41 process is standardized. It is carried out by the vast majority of photo laboratories. Kodak Royal Gold 200 can also be handed in for development at DM and Rossmann. If desired and with the right chemistry, you can also develop the film yourself.

Digitization

One can digitize the negatives. Many laboratories offer this directly when developing the film This can of course be done long after the development.

Corresponding devices for home use are available in different price ranges. The price already gives an indication of the quality of the digitized images. The digital files can then be shared on social networks, for example, or printed out again. With the latter option, there are many possibilities, for example, as a poster or in the form of a compiled photo book.
