Good Morning- According to Kodak they no longer make anything over Vision 3 500T asa rating and have not for some time now. Long gone are the days when Kodak would/could reformulate almost any of their stocks past or present for an extra fee.
http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Products/Production/index.htm All of the stocks listed on the above link are available with the exception of Color Reversal 7285 which was removed from production in Dec/Jan. Since the vision 3 emulsion is so forgiving they rated it down from 800 to 500, this info from the Hollywood Kodak Student rep. The film can easily be re rated at 800 or 1000 asa, however beyond that there will be a noticeable increase in grain, particularly in the shadow areas. This emulsion holds its highlights exceedingly well but by rating it 2 or more stops over you will degrade the shadow or underexposed areas. This may not be an issue for your project, and certainly you can alter the result with lab work as suggested above. Vision 3 works especially well when rated down to 250, for a stop of overexposure, this technique provides superior results and is used exclusively on my Cinematography lab students projects. One light work prints come out nice with this technique. JV On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 5:25 AM, Raymond Rea <prodc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I do miss the brief time period when Kodak made 800T.
