Kodak Vs. Fujifilm
It’s a big day for you. Whether it is your wedding day, your graduation, or a birthday, you want to choose the best format film to produce photographs of your special day. There are two primary manufacturers of 35mm film, Kodak and Fujifilm. This paper discusses the differences between the films and it will aid you in choosing the right film.
Founded in 1878, Eastman Kodak was a gelatin dry plates, the “film” for the 19th century studio camera. As time progressed, Kodak produced roll film and then in 1929, Eastman Kodak produced film specifically designed for motion pictures. Film continued to be improved by various research endeavors, and today it is considered one of the forerunners of film production. Technically, there are several features that Kodak offers. Examining the Kodak Professional 400 Portia Film, there are many benefits to using this film; Antenna Dye Sensitization (this technology makes this film ideal for scanning); Optimized Image Modifier Chemistry (this makes skin tones look more natural). Also, it is insured that you will get nice sharp images with fine details. Different size films are available for various camera formats. In addition, this film can be utilized in a natural setting as well as an artificial setting.
Fujifilm is a younger company founded in 1934. There is one main difference between Eastman Kodak and Fujifilm. By acquiring various companies, Fujifilm has been able to offer a diversified portfolio, creating products from print films and motion picture films to skin care systems and medical equipment. With the advances that Fujifilm has made, it has earned more money to dedicate more time to research. In reading the Fujifilm Datasheet for the Superia X-Tra 400 film, there are also benefits to using this film. Features such as; high speed and wide exposure latitude (a high sensitivity for capturing images with an insufficient light source - a blessing for beginner photographers); vibrant, natural color reproduction, excellent exposure suitability even under fluorescent lighting (this technology is ideal for an office or indoor setting, Fujifilm is better at recreating colors in this type of setting). Unfortunately, there is only one size film for this brand of film. This particular film has a rather difficult storage temperature (room temperature when it is anticipated you will use it immediately and below 32°F (0°C) if you will use it at a later time). Room temperature isn’t difficult to use, however, finding a refrigerator to store your film may not be feasible. On the other hand, Kodak offers a slightly better storage temperature (70°F (21°C) for immediate use and 55°F (13°C) for later use).
Both Fujifilm and Kodak offer benefits that could put one above the other in choosing a brand. It is up to you to choose which brand is best, based off of lighting type as well as other factors.
