Kodak Kodacolor Gold 400 12exp - Expired 1990

Capture a piece of pure 1990s analog history. This is an authentic, highly collectable 12-exposure roll of original Kodacolor Gold 400 35mm film, expired 1990.

Before "Kodak Gold" became a household name, Kodak branded its flagship consumer colour negative lineup under the iconic Kodacolor moniker. Offered here in the rare, vintage 12-exposure test format, this high-speed stock is a prime candidate for analog experimentalists, lo-fi portrait shooters, and creative artists looking for heavy vintage grain, atmospheric base fog, and unpredictable colour shifts.

The Highlights

• Historic Pre-2000s Kodacolor Branding: Featuring original '90s packaging and cassette design, these rolls represent the transitional era of Kodak's colour film science.

• Ultra-Rare 12-Exposure Format: The short-run 12-exp length was widely produced in the 1980s and 1990s for quick test rolls and brief snapshot sessions. It’s the perfect size for a dedicated single-concept project, a quick camera test, or adding a rare item to your film collection.

• Heavy Vintage Character: High-speed 400 ISO colour films age rapidly over 25–30+ years. Expect dramatic, lo-fi characteristics—including rich organic grain, squashed contrast, moody shadow tones, and unique colour shifts that digital filters simply cannot replicate.

• Standard Lab Processing: Despite its vintage age, Kodacolor Gold 400 is a standard colour negative stock. It can be safely developed at any local photo lab or darkroom using standard C-41 chemistry.
