Kodak Professional Supra 200 36exp - Expired 11/2005
Load your 35mm camera with a rare piece of discontinued professional history. This is Kodak Professional Supra 200 in a full-length 36 exposure roll, expired in November 2005.
Introduced in the early 2000s as a direct replacement for the legendary PJ (Pro Journal) lineup, the Supra family was specifically engineered for photojournalists, sports shooters, and action photographers who demanded a high-performance film that could handle anything. Having matured in the dark for over two decades, this low-to-mid speed professional stock has transformed into an incredibly rewarding, character-rich experimental medium.
The Highlights
-
The High-Performance Supra Colour Science: When fresh, Supra 200 was famous for its hyper-saturated, incredibly vivid colour reproduction and deep, snappy contrast curves. Having aged for over twenty years, those punchy professional dyes have mellowed into a gorgeously stylized, saturated palette featuring deep golden ambers, rich ruby reds, and warm, nostalgic mid-tones.
-
Engineered for Intense Sharpness: Because photojournalists needed to print massive spreads for newspapers and magazines, Kodak packed Supra with their advanced T-Grain technology. It was celebrated for having the finest grain structure in the 200-speed professional class, meaning it holds onto its microscopic edge sharpness and structural detail incredibly well against the test of time.
-
Resilient Low-to-Mid Speed Base: High-speed films from the mid-2000s often accumulate heavy background fog rapidly, but Supra's ISO 200 baseline is remarkably resilient. Its silver-halide crystals have put up an incredible fight, allowing for much cleaner image retrieval than contemporary 400 or 800-speed stocks.
-
Full-Length 36 Exposures: With a full 36-frame count, you have plenty of canvas to play with your exposure settings, bracket your shots, and completely immerse yourself in a nostalgic creative project.
