Get true color, fine detail, and incredibly sharp images—even in high contrast daylight.
50D
KODAK VISION2 50D Color Negative Film 5201 / 7201 is a low-speed daylight film with an expansive dynamic range that delivers more detail in shadow areas—even in high contrast situations. Advances in grain and sharpness—found in all VISION2 Films— make it ideal for recorder output and provide an ultra-clean, detailed image in any lighting condition.
KODAK VISION2 50D is the latest addition to the VISION2 Film family—a lineup of films created specifically for both film and digital postproduction. All VISION2 Films offer excellent tone scale and flesh-to-neutral reproduction while maintaining neutrality through the full range of exposures.

Storage
Store unexposed film at 13°C (55°F) or lower. For storage of
unexposed
film
longer than 6 months, store at
-18°C (0°F). Process film promptly.
Exposure Index
Daylight (5500 K)—50; Tungsten (3200 K)—12 (with KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 80A).
Laboratory Aim Density
Time negative originals relative to Laboratory Aim Density (LAD) Control Film supplied by Eastman Kodak Company.
Color Balance
This film is balanced for exposure with daylight illumination (5500 K). For other light sources, use the correction filters in the table below.
Postproduction information
When you transfer this film directly to video, set up the telecine using negative Telecine Analysis Film (TAF).

SENSITOMETRIC CURVES
"0" on the x-axis represents normal exposure
of an 18-percent gray card in the red, green,
and blue layers of this film. A white card is
2 1/3 stops higher than normal exposure,
and there are at least 2 1/2 stops above that
for capturing specular highlight detail.
A 3-percent black card is 2 2/3 stops below
normal exposure. There are at least 2 1/2
stops of latitude below that for capturing
shadow detail.
MODULATION-TRANSFER CURVES
This graph shows a measure of the visual
sharpness of this film. The x-axis, “Spatial
Frequency,” refers to the number of sine waves
per millimetre that can be resolved. The y-axis,
“Response,” corresponds to film sharpness. The
longer and flatter the line, the more sine waves
per millimetre that can be resolved with a high
degree of sharpness—and the sharper the film.
DIFFUSE RMS GRANULARITY CURVES
To find the rms granularity value for a given
density, find the density on the left vertical scale
and follow horizontally to the sensitometric
curve and then go vertically (up or down) to the
granularity curve. At that point, follow
horizontally to the Granularity Sigma D scale
on the right. Read the number and multiply
by 1000 for the rms value.
SPECTRAL-SENSITIVITY CURVES
These curves depict the sensitivity of this film to
the spectrum of light. They are useful for
determining, modifying, and optimizing
exposure for blue- and green-screen
visual effects work.

RECIPROCITY
No filter corrections or exposure adjustments for exposure times from 1/1000 of a second to 1 second. In the 10-second range, increase exposure 1/3 stop and use a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter CC10R.

DENTIFICATION
After processing, the Kodak internal product code symbol (EK), product code numbers 5201 (35 mm and 65 mm) or 7201 (16 mm), emulsion and roll number identification, and EASTMAN KEYKODE Numbers are visible along the length of the film.
G
RAIN
The perception of graininess of any film depends on scene content, complexity, color, and density. In KODAK VISION2 50D Color Negative Film 5201 / 7201, the measured granularity is exceptionally low.
S
HARPNESS
The perceived sharpness of any film depends on various components of the motion picture production system. Camera and projector lenses, film printers, and other factors play a role, but the specific sharpness of a film can be measured and charted in the Modulation Transfer Curve.
Note: Sensitometric and Diffuse RMS Granularity curves are produced on different equipment. A slight variation in curve shape may be noticed.
