My Last Few Rolls of Kodak 400UC

[mtjade2007]

I dug out some 400UC rolls (both 35mm and 120) out of my freezer recently and decided to get rid of a few by shooting them. I wonder if it was because I finally got my processing right or what I got images that look like something I never knew before. I wonder why I never knew it like what I see it now. In my latest opinion (in fact just now) it is better than the Ektar100 that is available today.

I realized why so many cursed why it was discontinued by Kodak back in 2009. No wonder it has been said so many times that Kodak really has driven itself into a tiny corner. Will we see those great films that Kodak produced in the old days again? The answer is no but I am willing to keep an illusion that they will come back someday.

Here are a few images of captured on my UC400

Lake Tahoe (35mm)

Omstead Point Scene at Yosemite (120)

Backyard Rose (120)

These films were all expired back in 2009. The 35mm roll was not even cold stored. They were all scanned easily with very little adjustment effort. This was probably because I finally had my processing done right.

Likely because you're on your last few rolls and you are now taking more care to capture better images.

BTW, for the same reason you didn't appreciate it when it was new, possibly you will also solve your Ektar 100 issues and appreciate it better while it is still around.
