5205 / 7205
KODAK VISION2 250D Color Negative Film 5205 / 7205
is an advanced, medium-speed film that delivers
superior imaging in natural daylight, artificial daylight,
and a variety of mixed lighting situations. Expect
beautiful fleshtones, accurate color reproduction,
and—thanks to its wider latitude—increased detail in
shadow and highlight areas. Add seamless intercutting
with other KODAK VISION2 Films and you have a
versatile addition to your storytelling toolkit.
The VISION2 Film family is the first line of products
created specifically for both film and digital
postproduction. What’s more, all VISION2 Films
provide excellent tone scale and flesh-to-neutral
reproduction. With superior shadow and highlight
detail and very fine grain. VISION2 Films also maintain
neutrality through the full range of exposure. So you
can convey exactly the look you intended all the way
from capture to post.

Store unexposed film at 13°C (55°F) or
lower. For storage of
unexposed film
longer than 6 months, store at
-18°C (0°F). Process film promptly.

SENSITOMETRIC CURVES ➤
"0" on the x-axis represents normal exposure
of an 18-percent gray card in the red, green,
and blue layers of this film. A white card is
2 1/3 stops higher than normal exposure,
and there are at least 2 1/2 stops above that
for capturing specular highlight detail.
A 3-percent black card is 2 2/3 stops below
normal exposure. There are at least 2 1/2
stops of latitude below that for capturing
shadow detail.
MODULATION-TRANSFER CURVES ➤
This graph shows a measure of the visual
sharpness of this film. The x-axis, “Spatial
Frequency,” refers to the number of sine waves
per millimetre that can be resolved. The y-axis,
“Response,” corresponds to film sharpness. The
longer and flatter the line, the more sine waves
per millimetre that can be resolved with a high
degree of sharpness—and the sharper the film.
DIFFUSE RMS GRANULARITY CURVES ➤
To find the rms granularity value for a given
density, find the density on the left vertical scale
and follow horizontally to the sensitometric
curve and then go vertically (up or down) to the
granularity curve. At that point, follow
horizontally to the Granularity Sigma D scale
on the right. Read the number and multiply
by 1000 for the rms value.
SPECTRAL-SENSITIVITY CURVES ➤
These curves depict the sensitivity of this film to
the spectrum of light. They are useful for
determining, modifying, and optimizing
exposure for blue- and green-screen
visual effects work.
SPECTRAL DYE-DENSITY CURVES ➤
These curves depict the spectral absorptions of
the dyes formed when the film is processed.
They are useful for adjusting or optimizing any
device that scans or prints the film.
NOTE: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow Dye
Curves are peak-normalized.

RECIPROCITY
No filter corrections or exposure
adjustments for exposure times from
1/1000 of a second to 1/10 second. In the
1-second range, increase exposure
2/3 stop and use a KODAK WRATTEN
Gelatin Filter CC10R. In the 10 second
range, increase exposure 1 stop and use a
KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter CC10R.
IDENTIFICATION
After processing, the Kodak internal
product code symbol (EQ), product code
numbers 5205 (35 mm) or 7205 (16 mm),
emulsion and roll number identification,
and EASTMAN KEYKODE Numbers are
visible along the length of the film.
GRAIN
The perception of graininess of any film
depends on scene content, complexity,
color, and density. In KODAK VISION2
250D Color Negative Film 5205 / 7205,
the measured granularity is exceptionally
low.
SHARPNESS
The perceived sharpness of any film
depends on various components of the
motion picture production system.
Camera and projector lenses, film printers,
and other factors play a role, but the
specific sharpness of a film can be
measured and charted in the Modulation
Transfer Curve.
Note: Sensitometric and Diffuse RMS Granularity curves are produced on different equipment.
A slight variation in curve shape may be noticed.
