Add seamless intercutting with other KODAK VISION2 Films and you have a versatile addition to your storytelling toolkit.

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.

BASE

KODAK VISION2 250D Film 5205 / 7205 has an acetate safety base with rem-jet backing.

STORAGE

Store unexposed film at 13°C (55°F) or lower. For extended storage, store at -18°C (0°F) or lower. Process exposed film promptly. Store processed film according to the recommendations in ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998: for medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at

10°C (50°F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of material having permanent value), store at 2°C (35°F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active use, store at 25°C (77°F) or lower, at a relative humidity of 50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and curl-related problems are generally minimized at the higher relative humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to the appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as soon as possible.

For more information about medium- and long-term storage, see ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998,

SMPTE RP131-2002, and KODAK Publications No. H-1, KODAK Motion Picture Film available online at http:// www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h1, and No. H-23, The Book of Film Care.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.

EXPOSURE INDEXES

Daylight (5500 K)—250 Tungsten (3200 K)—64 (with KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 80A)

Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings of average subjects made from the camera position or for readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light- or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter accordingly.
