Kodak Vision3 200T Super 8 Colour Negative Film (ECN-2)

Kodak Vision3 200T is the most versatile film in the Super 8 Vision3 lineup — a tungsten-balanced motion picture negative that delivers the image structure of a 100-speed film with the practical flexibility of a 200-speed stock. It's the natural choice when you need a single film that can handle a wide range of lighting conditions.

Like the other Vision3 Super 8 cartridges, 200T has no remjet. It uses an Anti-Halation Undercoat (AHU) that washes off cleanly during ECN-2 processing, making development straightforward without any special pre-bath or remjet removal step.

Price is per 50ft cartridge.

Why filmmakers choose Vision3 200T

200T sits in the sweet spot of the Vision3 Super 8 range. It's twice as fast as the 50D, giving you significantly more flexibility in lower light, while delivering noticeably finer grain than the 500T. Kodak's own description nails it — it behaves like a 100-speed film in terms of image quality while giving you the practical speed of a 200-speed stock.

The tungsten balance makes it the natural choice for interior work under artificial lighting — without filtration it renders accurately under tungsten and LED sources that lean warm. In daylight, using an 85 filter brings it to a neutral balance at approximately EI 125, still a useful speed for outdoor shooting.

For filmmakers who want to carry one film that handles both indoor and outdoor scenes on the same shoot, 200T is the obvious pick. The wide dynamic range and expanded highlight latitude mean it copes well with mixed lighting situations — a window-lit interior, a shaded exterior, a practical-heavy room — where the other Vision3 stocks would require more careful planning.

A bit of film history

Kodak's Vision3 line is the current generation of professional motion picture film, used in Hollywood productions, independent cinema, and music videos worldwide. The 200T emulsion (7213) is derived from the same technology base as the 35mm and 16mm versions of the same stock. In Super 8 format, it gives independent filmmakers access to a genuine professional cinema emulsion in a format that's more accessible than ever.

Processing

Vision3 200T requires ECN-2 processing. The Super 8 cartridge version has no remjet — it uses an Anti-Halation Undercoat (AHU) that washes off cleanly during development. We refer all Super 8 processing to the team at Nanolab in Australia, who handle ECN-2 development and scanning.

Common questions

Does this film have remjet?

No. The Super 8 cartridge version of Vision3 200T has no remjet. It uses an Anti-Halation Undercoat (AHU) instead, which washes off cleanly in ECN-2 processing without any special pre-bath or remjet removal step.

What is ECN-2 and where can I get it processed in Australia?

ECN-2 is the motion picture film development process used for Kodak Vision stocks. We refer all Super 8 ECN-2 processing to Nanolab in Australia — they handle development and scanning for Super 8 cartridges.

When should I choose 200T over 50D or 500T?

200T is the most versatile of the three. Choose 50D when you're shooting bright daylight exteriors and want the finest grain possible. Choose 500T for low-light and night shooting. Choose 200T for everything in between — mixed lighting, interiors with good light, overcast exteriors, or any shoot where you want one film that can handle changing conditions.

Can I shoot 200T in daylight?

Yes. 200T is tungsten-balanced so it will render a cool/blue cast in daylight if shot unfiltered — a look some filmmakers use deliberately. Using an 85 orange conversion filter brings it to neutral daylight balance at approximately EI 125, which is a very usable speed for outdoor shooting.

How long is 50ft of Super 8 film?

At the standard Super 8 shooting speed of 18fps, 50ft gives you approximately 3.5 minutes of footage. At 24fps you get around 2.5 minutes.
