Very nice, not as warm as ColorPlus but brought out greens and reds very nicely. Quite saturated, but not as saturated as Ektar and noiser, as expected, but nice and sharp. Renders skin tones nicely. Shadows tended towards orange instead of blue. Dynamic range seems good. Worked better in the shady forest than a bright sunny day and produced reliable, consistent results. An excellent film for the price. Images shot on a Canon 300V with a 24-105mm F4 L lens.

I've got mixed feelings about this one. Its often called an all rounder but really its not. I wouldn't recommend this for strong, sunny light because it tends to pump up the colours so that they become really overpowering. Its quite a grainy film as well, so that makes for bad combination. Its not a subtle film at all, choosing to drill into your eyes out rather than evoke an atmosphere or feeling. Where it really comes into own though is in dull light and in ye olden dayes 400 was considered a fast film not a standard film, to be used in winter, or cloudy or shadowed light. That's when this film really helps you, with contrast on those flat days, and picking out colour that tends to otherwise blend into the surroundings, making it really pop, as well as giving you ... MoreI've got mixed feelings about this one.

Wil I buy it again? Absolutely. In our cloudy climate when January comes round and you despair of taking photos, this makes it possible and rather lovely.

I've was pleased with the results from Kodak Ultramax 400 and I would purchase it again. Finer grain than I was expecting for a budget-friendly film, and I was particularly impressed with how it picked up reds: they really pop. Overall it definitely pulls more cool tones/a little on the darker side, which is worth keeping in mind when shooting in bright day light, and I possibly wouldn't choose Ultramax for portraits for this reason. But I think in general this is a decent enough, versatile film.

The headline says it all. This is a truly awful film, even by grocery store standards. It's not sharp, the grain is messy, its too contrasty, too saturated, and skin tones are orangey. The only redeeming quality of this film is that the negs dried flat enough to make scanning fairly easy. Other than that, I'm not impressed one bit. I've shot other grocery store films in the past. The old Fujifilm C200, Superia X-Tra, Kodak Gold. All had their shortcomings but this one is definitely the worst of the bunch. I managed to get maybe five decent shots from this roll. But the large majority of them took extensive post processing to get them to even an acceptable level, and even then, they're not that good. I bought three rolls and I don't even want to shoot the other two. ... MoreThe headline says it all. This is a truly awful film, even by grocery store standards.

I bought three rolls and I don't even want to shoot the other two. Film prices are high enough as it is. Add on top of that the added cost of processing and it quickly makes this film not worth shooting. Kodak needs to either revisit and improve this emulsion or just retire it all together. $10 is way too much for this film. I'm not even sure it's worth half that, quite honestly. My advice is if you're going to spend $10 on a roll of film, make sure it's not this one.
Until I discovered this film I was not a fan of high speed colour negative films. I'm now a convert! I keep this in my bag with HP5 so that I can swap films and keep similar exposures. The film produces excellent colours, deals particularlywell with green shades and processes very easily in the Cinestill C41kit. Altogether a great film that has convincedmeto shoot more colour!
This is a film for someone who likes a punchy vintage look and who wants everyone to know right away that their photos were definitely shot on real film (for better or for worse). The thing about this film is that there isnt a lot of dynamic range, but if you use it purposefully as such you can get some nice results. Its *very* easy to underexpose the shadows, and even sometimes parts of images that didnt seem dark in real life will come out really dark in the image. Its an interesting exaggerated contrast effect and can be cool once you get a feel for what till happen. The colors that come through will be punchy and saturated, and the shadows will be plain mysterious dark brown or black (or green). Its also a lot easier to OVERexpose this film than nicer stuff like ... MoreThis is a film for someone who likes a punchy vintage look and who wants everyone to know right away that their photos were definitely shot on real film (for better or for worse).

The colors that come through will be punchy and saturated, and the shadows will be plain mysterious dark brown or black (or green). Its also a lot easier to OVERexpose this film than nicer stuff like Portra - and blown highlights can definitely come out as plain informationless white parts of the image. I got a lot of shots with both black shadows and blown out highlights in one shot, before I figured out how to use the low latitude of this film purposefully. There are lots of high dynamic range shots that would work just fine on Portra, or even on digital without HDR bracketing, but would be a hot mess on Ultramax. But, it is what it is, and evenly exposed sunny daylight scenes can even be lovely. The colors sometimes come out idiosyncratic and specific to this film. In the end, you get some distinctive photos that nobody would ever mistake for digital creations. Ultramax colors are most true to life in direct sunlight or with a good set of diffused speedlights, where you might even mistake it for an expensive film. Indoors or in shadowy light, or even midday overcast daylight, it shows the Ultramax signature look. Depending on the film lab, and the types of lighting, underexposed shots can sometimes be yellow and sometimes green hued, I havent totally figured out the rhyme or reason there, since Ive generally avoided underexposing it too much. And, hey, the cost of film doesnt get any cheaper than this Ultramax 400 stuff. Its a good film for having fun and for a vintage look. And, itll look nice on a sunny beach vacation, too.
This is a solid performer that is a great all-rounder. Not as vibrant and contrasty as Ektar, but more forgiving, and not as fine-grained or accuate as Portra, but cheaper, and not as classically "analog" as the motion-picture stock based emulsions like Cinestill 400D, but still a great film look.I've used Ultramax for nature and landscapes for years, but more recently have turned to it for portraits and fashion work, especially when I've needed a pop of color. It's an economical option for a lot of genres. The choice between this and Fuji 400 for some comes down to price, but for me it's about the tones and color palette and it's something I tend to keep on hand, just in case.
UltraMax 400 is a great value, high saturation colour film with decent sensitivity, great for everyday shooting, works a treat in a point and shoot where lighting situations could vary dramatically. Some strong greens but maybe not loads of definition in tones. Not a huge dynamic range but definitely punchy and fun. I’m sure there are things that UltraMax really excels at but so far I find it to be a good all rounder, especially when shooting with consumer kit or on mixed weather days.
For a long time I refused to buy new film, as it seemed like a waste. Why not just get cheap expired stuff since it looks just as good anyway? Over time, old film got more and more expensive, and I was forced to switch to new stock. UltraMax 400 was the most economical choice, and now that I've been shooting it regularly for some time, the difference in quality between it and the expired film is night and day (so to speak).The ISO of 400 means that it performs wonderfully in all sorts of conditions - from bright sunny days to overcast evenings. The colours on this always come out really nicely, and I can't see any reason to spend more on something like Portra. A great all-rounder.
I have used Ultramax 400 quite a bit this year, both full frame 35mm and more recently in the Pentax 17. Its a great film, especially on a bright sunny day; not so much when its dull and miserable though.For the price its genuinely very good, and has become my go-to. Its especially good at landscapes, nature and close up pictures. Greens are especially good but it seems to love Autumn too.I'll be getting a few more of these very soon.
