5212 / 7212

The big picture and all the fine details.

KODAK VISION2 100T Color Negative Film 5212 / 7212
is the sharpest color negative motion picture film.
With excellent flexibility and extremely fine grain,
VISION2 100T Film offers clean and crisp images. And
now, 100T Film also includes superior VFX
capabilities. So you can shoot all your scenes for
digital compositing on the same stock.

The VISION2 Film family is the first line of products
created specifically for both film and digital
postproduction. What's more, all VISION2 Films
provide excellent tone scale and flesh-to-neutral
reproduction. With superior shadow and highlight
detail and very fine grain. VISION2 Films also maintain
neutrality through the full range of exposure. So you
can convey exactly the look you intended all the way
from capture to post.

LOG SENSITIVITY*

"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 1/10 second. In the
1-second range, increase exposure
2/3 stop and use a KODAK Color
Compensating Filter CC 10R. In the
10 second range, increase exposure 1
stop and use a KODAK Color
Compensating Filter CC 10R.

DENTIFICATION

After processing, the Kodak internal
product code symbol (EM), product code
numbers 5212 (35 mm) or 7212 (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
100T Color Negative Film 5212 / 7212,
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.

SPECTRAL DYE-DENSITY CURVES ➤

These curves depict the spectral absorptions of

the dyes formed when the film is processed.

They are useful for adjusting or optimizing any

device that scans or prints the film.
