OptiColour 200 Debuts in Large Format Sheet Film
OptiColour 200, a color negative film utilizing the Wolfen NC200 emulsion, is now offered in large format sizes: 4×5, 5×7, and 8×10 sheets, marking its transition from smaller formats. This ISO 200 C-41 film is known for its balanced color output, moderate contrast, and a gentle focus on greens and reds, featuring fine grain that remains undetectable at larger sizes. It is designed for daylight use on a 175μm PET base, ideal for fine art, portrait, and landscape photography. Distributed by Optik Oldschool, a box of 25 sheets in 4×5 format retails for $96, available through partners like Fotoimpex, Freestyle Photo & Imaging Supplies, and Downtown Camera. This launch aligns with Eastman Kodak Company's introduction of large format films such as Kodak Ektapan, Ektacolor Pro, and Tri-X, highlighting a revival in large format photography.
