Candido 200 is the slowest in Candido Collective's trio of color negative films. This film is adapted from Kodak Vision3 200T motion picture film - a color negative emulsion that is tungsten balanced for use under incandescent lighting. Due to its tungsten color balance, this film has a naturally blue, cold color cast designed to compensate for the warm color temperature of incandescent or tungsten lighting, or other lighting around 3200K. Unlike Vision3 film, Candido 200 has had its remjet layer removed for better compatibility with photo lab C-41 processing machines. This allows Candido 200 to be available to a wider audience of still film photographers. It also gives the film a distinct halation effect that produces red halos around highlights.
Candido 200 shares the defining qualities of Kodak Vision3 films: fine grain, soft contrast and a more natural color saturation. This makes Candido 200 quite versatile in terms of its potential applications, be they portraiture, landscapes, cityscapes, product photography, still life or what have you. The film has great latitude and is quite forgiving of over exposure. Candido 200 is meant to be an alternative to Candido 800 where natural colors are desired under warm lighting but finer grain is also sought. Candido 200 is a great film for indoor mixed lighting, such as incandescent lighting combined with nearby window light.
