Love that your not fan-boying over this film. I love the warm tones, I love gold 200 in my 35mm. Youve actually done one of the more comprehensive reviews, comparing cameras and light meters, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts. I still like Gold 200- I'm happy its available in 120 for the medium format nerds! I just like that you gave a super honest review!
Quick tip for de-yellowing thoriated glass: exposure to any strong light source will reverse the yellowing, not just UV light. I used a NÄVLINGE LED desk lamp from Ikea for a few days to bleach a Takumar 50mm 1.4 that was badly yellowed. The LED light puts out minimal heat and can be more tightly focused on the lens elements only, so you don't run the risk of heating up the lens and having grease flow out onto the aperture blades.

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate your input.
@@UnderexposedwithAlastairBird a pleasure mate!
I've shot some Gold in a Rolleiflex and a Pentax 645n. Not a bad stock at all in 120.

Thanks for that. I thought it had to be UV light. The LED is a great idea.
Nice!
It seems like a film that is ment to be affordable and that you want to shoot as a every day film!
Have a good week!
I think you're right. Even if I prefer the Portra, I'm delighted it's out there. Enjoy your week, too!
Id like to agree but sadly its still very expensive compared to some 35mm film
Those Kodak Gold pictures look like the seventies film I didn't like, and why I'm more of black & white shooter today.
Funny you should say that. I had a friend comment on the vintage feel of the images.
@@UnderexposedwithAlastairBird I seventies, I went for positive films, they looked great, but negatives, they look like Kodak Gold.
