Kodak Ultramax 400 (36 exp)

Kodak UltraMax 400 colour negative film, ISO 400: a single roll of 36 exposures each. It loads in any 35 mm camera, including half-frame bodies, and needs standard C-41 colour processing.

GearFrame's Take

The best all-rounder in the Kodak consumer range — versatile, forgiving, and reliably beautiful. The roll to reach for when you only have one choice.

✅ Great For
📷
Everyday The ideal one-film-fits-all choice. ISO 400 handles everything from bright sun to indoor flash.
🏙️
Street Fast enough for shaded streets and overcast days. Great for spontaneous candid shooting.
👤
Portrait Warm tones flatter skin. Fine grain holds up well in portrait-sized enlargements.
✈️
Travel The perfect all-conditions travel film. Works as well at dusk as it does at noon.
☀️
Outdoor / Daylight Handles sunny days brilliantly while remaining versatile enough for shade and cloud.
🌙
Low Light ISO 400 gets you through most indoor and evening situations — especially with flash.
⚠️ Not Ideal For

No significant limitations identified — this is a versatile camera without obvious weak spots for most shooters.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
