Im leaning towards Lomo 100 which is basically Kodacolor VR 100 which by name later became VR Plus.
There are people who swear by ProImage 100, but I remember when it was introduced, LONG time ago, at least 22 years ago. It was a cheaper, budget pro film that AFAIK was sold only in latin america and such markets.
It was grainier than other 100-speed films, but could render skin tones correctly, intended (as per the brochures) for wedding photography.
I never liked it, but on other sites there are people raving about it... go figure.
Well, Lomography Lady Gray 400 used to be repackaged Tmax 400! Believe it or not, it was the fantastic TMY.
But I think Kodak didn't do the repackaging.
Why is there no data sheets available is what I'd like to know. Kodak has not released a data sheet for ColorPlus to my knowledge in many years of that film's availability. There might be a bit less guesswork required if Kodak was a bit more transparent about these products.
Video is live now. Picture samples are in the last 7 minutes of the video.
I bet they don't look anywhere near as muted.but do wonder what scans of RA4 prints made under an enlarger would look like?
Absolutely; then again (and I realize I'm arguing with myself to an extent now) - very few people RA4 print these days. So most people will want to know how it scans. To which my response would be, by default: "flexibly."It seems from everything I read on Photrio that one can tell little or nothing from scans we see in terms of what traditional RA4 darkroom prints might look like
I think that's also the case, by default, if you get down to it!the only way for me to find out anything meaningful is to "suck it and see"
Yes, that's correct. And when it comes to negatives, there are a couple of pitfalls since there's no absolute benchmark in how they're supposed to encode color information.I guess one would need a calibrated negative and/or slide to implement it.

Could be because this is amateur film. Or maybe just slow on the drawer.
Maybe Kodak doesn't provide data sheets anymore because we'll be able to tell which films are really the same.As I understand it, the Kodak human resources necessary to prepare and maintain datasheets for still films were one of the casualties of the bankruptcy - mostly not retained by Eastman Kodak, and mostly not taken up by Kodak Alaris.

If they don't have money to create new data sheets, why would they have the money to develop new emulsions? It would be cheaper to use an old one or just modify it slightly.
Photographers could use the data sheets if they exist, for these other emulsions, assuming 100 and 200 are the same as them.Let’s not forget that in its press release for Kodacolor 100 and 200, Kodak stated the films were already existing in the market. Kodacolor 200 is unmistakably Color Plus, the results are identical. Kodacolor 100 looks dead on for Lomo 100. It does not resemble Pro Image, which is more saturated and has more controlled contrast. It is said Lomo 100 is either VR Plus Gen 2 or VR-G Gen 3, the first two iterations of Gold. There was very little difference between them back in the day. Both had greatly improved saturation over VR, so I believe it’s a fairly safe bet to say, even given scanner variations, that Kodacolor 100 / Lomo 100 are one and the same.
I guess that the faster the film, the more expensive to manufacture. A high speed film would tick the grain, vibes and extra usability in low light.
They don't necessarily choose to make changes.
Changes are thrust upon them, and before they are able to spend the resources to adapt, they have to convince management that doing so will result in a return on precious investment - otherwise the lines are diverted to other product lines.
